Customer Reviews

GREAT read

Read WHite first so you have the background, but this is fast paced, technical, and very interesting and time appropriate with Bush's little "pre-emptive war" going on. This is a good read, not too deep, but you get sucked in and can't put it down. Politically interesting, great plot (although he leaves you hanging throughout the book-need to keep reading to find out) This is a great newer author, can't wait till number 3.

Trembling at the knees! *sigh*

A must-read for fans of political thrillers as well as finely-crafted suspense.

An engrossing thriller by a superb writer.

Christopher Whitcomb's books pose enjoyable challenges to readers on two levels. First, he writes such fast-paced narratives that it is hard to put down one of his books. Beyond that, his knowledge of the complex threats facing our nation challenges readers to think. If you enjoy fiction that is both entertaining and thought-provoking, then I highly recommend "White" (as well as Whitcomb's previous thriller, "Black"). And if you want to understand the experiences that have given Whitcomb his unmatched ability to write about the FBI and national intelligence agencies, then check out "Cold Zero," his non-fiction book about his time in the FBI's hostage rescue team. ~Andrew J.

Whitcomb Hits Bull's-eye !

Christopher Whitcomb just keeps getting better. His second novel, a sequel to "Black," shows he's hitting his stride in fiction writing (his first offering was his FBI autobiography "Cold Zero"). Throughout this thriller you can see him draw upon his own real life adventures. He also pulls part of his plot line right from today's front pages.As the novel races back and forth across the globe,his protagonist, FBI elite Hostage Rescue Team special agent Jeremy Waller, follows a Byzantine path that leads him to terrorists and official power structures within our own nation. This is the type of "inside baseball" that only someone who has worked in harm's way would know. If your a book collector save your first editions because they should become sought after as this action series continues. Get going on the next one, Mr. Whitcomb, your readers are ready for more!
