Firewall sizzles

A very good book, full of action, some romance, and a bit of technical background. An ex-Navy Seal, turned spy, turned body guard loses his client to a heart attack, after an attempt on said client's life. The client's dying request is for the protector to find, and protect his daughter from harm, which of course the protector does(falling in love with her in the process). The only thing that bothered me was the amount of Typos present in this book. "Would had" instead of would have, which I was taught was proper grammer. Males were referred to as she, and females, as he, in several spots throughout the book, to the point where it got confusing as to who the author was refering to. The publisher should have picked these mistakes up, and NOT published the uncorrected proof, to save time, and money. Overall, though, it was an enjoyable book to read, by a talented author.Read also; "Ultimatum", and "Retribution", two very good books, also by Pineiro.

Entertaining

This book kept my attention and I enjoyed reading it. The plot was clever, the characters interesting, and the action moved quickly. The two drawbacks of this book were that there was some over-the-top violence that seemed a unnecessarily detailed, and some of the high-tech details of the plot were pretty farfetched. But it was definitely a fun read!

Another winner From Pineiro!

Top notch thriller

It's novels like this that keep R.J. Pineiro on top of my `must read' thriller list.Bruce Tucker is ex-Navy Seal, ex-Secret Service and Ex-CIA operative. After losing his family to terrorists, which he also blames on the CIA, Tucker takes the job of protector/bodyguard to one of the richest computer gurus alive (think Gates) named Mortimer Fox. When Fox has a heart attack, after a failed attempt on his life, he passes on to Tucker a couple secrets and asks him to please protect his daughter. The same powerful forces that have been trying to kill him will now go after her. The big secret (Firewall) behind Mortimer Fox is a technology, which if discovered by another country, could trigger Armageddon. From launch codes to all the coded messages between intelligence agencies, nothing can be kept secret if the code to Firewall is acquired.As much spy thriller as techno thriller. A better-rounded thriller you couldn't ask for. From computer technology to the possibilities of a North Korean invasion, all play a pivotal role in this non-stop thriller. At times it gets graphic (Cannibalism) and violent, but in the situations presented it's appropriate and not over done. This novel is very satisfying and should create some new fans for R.J. Pineiro.Highly Recommended.
