Customer Reviews

Action,Intrigue,Espionage and Sex,what more could you want ?

Bravo to Mr Patton on his fine first novel.This book is chock full of interesting,multidimensional characters who don't always do or say what you expect them to do or say.Once Patton draws you in with these characters and teases you with his extensive knowledge of the drug interdiction business(which,contrary to other reviewers,I think is winnable and worth fighting)the real fun begins.And make no mistake about it...this book is fun to read. Protagonist Nick Lowe is reminiscent of the pre-P.C. days when James Bond was considered the beau ideal of manliness.But this is not just another brauny,high-tech testimony to testosterone. It's cogently written and carefully crafted and I highly recommend you add it to your summer reading list.

Espionage,...

Espionage, love, ... smuggling conspiracy, and the hot ... Panamanian women are the elements of Patton's novel. Once you start to read you cannot stop. Could Patton become the next Tom Clancy? Maybe we'll find out on Part II.

Been there and done that!

Patton is a keen observer of Latin culture, perhaps too keen. Its obvious to anybody who spent time "down south" fighting this ridiculous and unwinnable 'War' on drugs, that Patton's excellent web of deceit runs a bit too close to home. Why do I get the feeling that the Author lives vicariously thru his Nick Lowe creation. There is clearly more involved here than the Author's active imagination. A good yarn that won't insult your intelligence or assault your common sense about what a farcical waste of hard-earned taxpayer treasure this so-called War on Drugs has become, or should I say, has been all along.

Superbly written!

Without a lot of the techno-gadgets common to so many books in this genre, Mr. Patton has written a compelling story with unforgettable characters. I've never heard of the writer and came across his book almost by accident, but what a surprise it was. The subtle dialog, the exquisite details, the three-dimensional characters, all of this made for a great read. In 300+ pages, he manages to weave a love story, a great mystery, and tell a good tale of espionage. One can't help but pause and take a deep breath when reading about how the War on Drugs really operates, if what he says is true, but the real value of the book is the story. One can only hope that another Nicholas Lowe novel is on the way.
