Magnificent

In one word "AWESOME"!!! Marcus Mason left no stone unturned. He kept me wanting more!! All The King's Horses is an action pack novel that I have/will recommend to friends and family. I can't wait for the sequel to this awesome novel. Great job!!!!!!!

Fast Paced Thriller From All Angles

This book is a great read. The author flips back and forth between the Secret Ops mission and the political masterminds giving them the orders. The plot unfolds in such a way to give the reader an insider's view into the process and secrecy regarding the US's secret operatives, as only a good writer with a deep understanding of the politics behind the scenes. Overall, 'All The King's Horses' is a great book, from all angles.

Well paced thriller from a new author

This is a well paced, carefully plotted, complicated thriller. The author cuts cleanly from scene to scene, varying big-picture views with first-person shots with inside-the-head-of-a-character narratives in a way that keeps the story moving and keeps you interested. The scenes are incredibly well researched, and the author clearly knows about the subjects on which he writes -- his experience in the Halls of Congress are evident to anyone who ever spent any time there, and as a veteran railroader I appreciated how carefully researched his sections involving the trains were (illustrating that even the smallest of scenes show he knows what he's talking about). There was careful character development and backstories, as well as interesting explorations of character as the individuals faced various tensions (romance versus work, work versus family, history versus current duty). Two small nitpicks: there are a few characters I hope to learn more about but I have the feeling that I will get to know them better in future books. And the book could benefit from a stronger editorial hand in terms of grammar/spelling but the story moves you along so well that while you may mentally tag them, you race over any small glitches.
