The Russian's fear "The 13th Power" and rightfully so. But there is unlimited wealth and and a tremendous power to be had through its ultimate control. The evils enter... Governmental lies? Spies? Private eyes? FBI and CIA cover-ups? The Ark? A hero? A nightmare? The pawns are moved and people begin to die. The military is activated to halt the evil. But wait? Just who "is" the evil? This is not a black and white answer. Mixed motives abound to reach the 13th power. Greed, ego, love, and base insanities flourish through the pages of "The 13th Power." Car chases, airplane duels on a runway, Blackhawks firing missels into squad cars, corrupt police, spy satellites, ugly bad guys, beautiful women... Torture scenes. Terry Wright gives all of this and a lot, lot more -- he gives us -- believability! The last eighty pages of this book has some of the finest climax writing that I have ever read. I love Wright's subtle set up for a sequel. "The 13th Power" is brilliant, masterful, and most of all -- entertaining."

I finished this book without putting it down, at least in my mind. It moves quickly from situation to situation and between characters as is pulls you along. I couldn't get off the high-speed conveyor that brings sci-fi to a believable status. It may happen! My only difficulty is that I wanted to continue immediately to episode two, a dirty trick making me wait.
The 13th Power is a Winner
