An impressive & meticulous story

Well! Now I must say something. I can't believe that critics get paid to write such drivel like below. I guess since literary critics are not common men or women maybe they are not equipped to absorb and enjoy an endearing story like Twilight Of Fury, or maybe they just have to say mean things to justify being a CRITIC. Contrary to Mr. Bennett I can't find anything to say except this story is AWESOME! There are no words to describe how I felt when I finished this book except that I told all my friends they HAD to read it. It is kind of funny in places, a few parts will shock you, some parts are tear-jerkers and the airplane flying and fighting are easy to understand. In particular, one of the fighting parts I certainly didn't like because of the detail of an act, but my beau thought it was okay because it was exceedingly correct and Chet happens to be a history major. Also I didn't like what happened to the spy, Kevin, or the nurse, Molly. But I guess like it says on the blurb 'life isn't fair.' The ending was perfect and couldn't end any other way. I haven't stopped thinking about the story so I guess I'll read it again to get it out of my mind.

A review from a blue suit

Okay, so Mr. Matlock won't win any awards from his literary peers- as the english professor wants to stress- but Twilight Of Fury is written for a mainstream audience. As an history major from the USAF Academy and a active duty Blue Suit, I consider Twilight Of Fury is a winner. Got that, professor?

Twilight of Fury Dawns Bright

I first "met" Joe Matlock when we both belonged to a graphics webring. Over the years, our online friendship has grown through our mutual love of writing. I hold an ever-increasing respect for him as a human being as well as a writer. I was drawn into the book, at the very first chapter. His characters' intricate emotional journey and the fact-filled background was a pleasure to walk through. I relished every moment. I have read this book numerous times, since buying it, as well as sharing it with friends and family. It gathered "rave" reviews from all. If you want a book that will lure you back to reading in a spell-binding yet down-to-earth way, Twilight of Fury is perfect. Well done, Joe! Looking forward to your next work of art.

I absolutely loved it

I was pleased to see a woman of smaller stature as a main character. You rarely see that. I was totally fascinated with the precision of the detail. I had no idea about rationing in Europe. I have heard my parents and grandparents speak of what it was like here but never about how it was in Europe. The descriptions of the air combat (forgive my lack of sophistication) are really cool! They just draw you into the action. You almost feel like you are there. It was quite impressive. Watching the evolution of Tom from a womanizer to a sensitive and compassionate man was a refreshing change. What can I say? I like to see good triumph over evil. Also, I really enjoyed Molly's feisty nature. I liked that Mary was so sweet and yet strong enough to stand up to her overbearing mother. THis is a five star book

Book description

Tom MacMillan has a problem. He's a womanizing coward caught in the middle of World War II as a fighter pilot. Meanwhile, British nurse Molly Master has a problem. She can't stand the Yanks, particularly Yank fighter pilots. And Tom is the epitome of what she detests most in Americans. Shoved together by circumstance, the two overcome their differences and forge a deep love fired by a desperate need to escape the horrors of war. Molly becomes Tom's first true love, a reason to fight his way home after every mission and to escape the Nazis after he is shot down over Belgium. But life is not fair and surviving an evil war is only half the conflict. . . Twilight Of Fury is a story of how relationships and terrible events change the lives of people who struggle to survive them. Where compassion, understanding and love must take a stand against hate, treachery and bitterness and discover that honor and sacrifice are the true saving graces of humanity.
