Book Review – Solomon vs Lord – Paul Levine

Posted on 8th December 2005 by Welshrogue in Book Review 2005,Books

From the Publisher
Steve Solomon is the sharpest lawyer ever to barely graduate from Key West School of Law. Victoria Lord is fresh from Yale, toiling for an ambitious D.A. and soon to be married. And Katrina Barksdale is a sexy former figure skater charged with killing her incredibly wealthy, incredibly kinky husband. With all three tangled in the steamiest trial of the century, the case is sure to make sparks fly, headlines scream–and opposites attract.
But with Solomon inventing his own laws and Lord sticking to the real ones, these two can’t stop squabbling, even after teaming up to defend the glamorous widow. With crooks, con men, and a cast of colorful characters swirling around Solomon, and an anxious fiancé waiting for Lord, the two attorneys begin to believe their luscious client has been lying through her perfect teeth. Now Solomon and Lord must solve the case before they end up in ruin, in jail…or in bed.

Brilliant. The chemistry between the two lead characters zings with tension and fun. Think of this as the best ever Moonlighting episode on steriods. Its that good. I laughed out loud so many times……. loved it!!!

Oh my love we've had our share of tears
Oh my friend we've had our hopes and fears

Book Review – Deep Black: Payback – Stephen Coonts & Jim DeFelice

Posted on 8th December 2005 by Welshrogue in Book Review 2005,Books

From the Publisher
“RECRUITED:
A crack team of cover agents.
Word is out to ex-Marine sniper Charlie Dean and his team of the National Security Agency: Infiltrate the highest stratum of Peruvian political power and derail a renegade general from acing an election. All Dean has to do is find a way inside an impenetrable bank vault protected by armed guards round the clock-it’s all in a day’s work for the men and women of Deep Black.
“ENGAGED:
A violent political coup”
But things get complicated when Dean and company discover the renegade general’s second plot. The military madman’s ruse–a nuclear weapon he claims is in the hands of Marxist guerillas, a bomb that only he can rescue…and control.
“IGNITED:
A devastating terrorist plot.”
When the general and his plot are exposed, the NSA concludes the greatest threat is over. But in fact, it’s only just beginning…

About the Book
Charlie Dean and the rest of the Desk Three team are sent to Peru to help scuttle a secret plan to throw the national election. They soon find that the operation is considerably more involved and the stakes far greater than anyone thought. Original.

While still being a co-written book rather than a true Stephen Coonts book, Deep Black: Payback (nice rhyme) flows well and is pretty enjoyable. Probably one of the better Deep Black books so far.
