Someone said the best of 99, i say the best of the century

This book was one of the best books i ever read. I got it on sunday and finished i on monday morning. An all night read, and i haven't done that since 1982.

WHAT A RIDE!

This book was more fun than a ride at Disneyworld! It moves like a wildfire, and never left me bored, only craving more. I liked the lack of organized chapters, with each scene break marked by a time and place heading. Like an old fashioned serial movie, each of these breaks ended with some sort of crisis, that kept me up well into the night to determine the outcome. The Kellogg brothers are the all American heroes that I have been waiting for. I can't believe the amount of info that's packed within these pages, and I still can't believe the way all the different plot lines came together in the end. This story isn't for the wimpy reader, and I recommend it for those who like plenty of action and a cast of characters that read like a movie.

BEST READ OF 1999!

Was more than surprised to get this book as a gift and then to find how very excellent it turned out to be. Henrick got me hooked from the first sentence, pulling me right into the action. There's never a dull moment, and it's remarkable how Henrick puts together all the fascinating plot lines into a final climax that sent shivers up my spine long into the night! I'm certain that the movie version will be right up there w/ Henrick's CRIMSON TIDE, and I can't wait for the next Kellogg book to be released. So by all means, read this novel--you won't be disappointed!

Where have you been all these years?

Took Dick Adler's suggestion and just finished NIGHTWATCH. It was a marvelous read--filled w/ edge of your seat action and interesting characters. It's obvious Henrick's done his homework, and I sense that much of the work was written on location w/ the military. Now the question remains, where has Mr. Henrick's work been hiding these years. From the book's bio, he's obviously been busy, yet other than seeing CRIMSON TIDE, this is the first I've heard of him. I noted from the list of acknowledgements in the back of the book that he's obviously a Wm. Morris client, w/ Rob't Gottleib representing. Mr. Henrick, NIGHTWATCH is a superb book and should have gotten extensive distribution. As a publishing veteran, I question both your agent's and publishers support level. Obviously they didn't believe in this wonderful story, that should have surely made it into the Times best seller list. We desperately need books of this caliber to keep our business growing, and don't be afraid to seek new representation for the next one.
