Haven

I found this book a quick overnight read. I was glued to the book and unable to put it down. Excellent characters and non-stop action. I hope to see Kessler and Stride again real soon.

Excellent

I listen to a great deal of books on tape. This has to rank as one of the best. The author has put together a great plot and really gets you to feel for the main two characters. Martin Kessler is one of the most likeable characters I have come across. The narrater of this audio book is one of the best story tellers I have heard. I couldn't turn off my tape player!

Adventure fest!

John Maxim is the writer who will undoubtedly be hailed as the next titan of Spy/Adventure stories. After reading "Haven" I rushed out to get all his other books, - some used, because they were out of print -. Loved the "Bannerman" character series, which now could actually do with an updated continuation, or even a prequel to the adventures of Bannerman's mother. Great stories! Riveting dialog! Can't wait for his next book!

Great Book, something out of the ordinary!

Great retired spy thriller, lots of action, made me cry at the end. Lots of interesting twists that were totally unanticipated. If you like Clive Cussler and Nelson Demille you'll love this. I'm writing this book while I'm ordering his other book, and looking forward to the next one comming out!
