In the meantime "Jackie Terror" and his gang of psychos has hilacked a truckfull of Devil's Brew(A dangerous explosive).Blaine's old sergeaent has to leave and go help his daughter and is promptly Kidnapped.The bad guys.led by Jackie Terror and his gang also a[[ear. McCracken gathers his old troops(7 foot tall Johnny Wareagle) in order to do battle with Jackie Terror and his gang.This book is action packed from beginning to end. You will find it hard to put down. Another good book from Jon Land.

typical jon land- you pick it up and you can't put it down

Once again Jon Land has outdone himself. Dead Simple is full of fast hard hitting action and in depth charactar relationships. Blaine and the Indian once again go up against a totally evil, larger than life villian, with a powerful weapon and an even more powerful past! The assortment of fellow bad guys leaves little to be desired. The government bads guys shine in this one also. And Blaine gets hurt pretty bad for the first time. As an avid Jon Land fan, this book does what all of his books do, they force you to keep on reading on the edge of your seat to the very finalle. And Dead Simple has a wopper of a finalle! Enjoy, people, enjoy.

Doesn't rank with earlier McCracken books

Perhaps Mr. Land was feeling tired after writing an outstanding book like The Walls of Jericho, or maybe Blaine McCracken is just getting "too old for this s--t." In any case, Land's latest doesn't even come close to matching his earlier books. Maybe he should go back to Jerusalem and create a new series with the characters from The Walls of Jericho. Good book, but not his best.

More turns than a Mountain Road

This is a superb box! Jon Land has outdone himself! Dead Simple it like riding a thrill ride in an amusement park...It DEFINITLY is a "can't put it down" read..I sure am glad he's still turning out the McCraken books with the entire cast will intact!! I forwarded this on to my 83 yr old father in Oregon who told me "Hey, this book should be made into a movie!" Jon Land is simply the BEST!! WE are looking forward to his next! - Don Vaupel, Jr. DVAUPEL@AOL.com

Whoa ! Blainey is back !

Classic Land all the way ! McCracken and gang are back (with some new characters to boot). Thanks Mr. Land for the great story...great beginning and a classic ending (Hey Harriet..sounds like The Bridges of Madison County is more your speed !)...this is a must read for Land fans !
