Summary: A fast-paced novel that keeps the reader on their toes.
Review: Set on the dangerous waters of the Pacific, Paul Garrison's Fire and Ice is about a family whose faith and trust in each other is tested through their separation, due to kidnappers. A family that was once united is now torn to pieces by one man's reckless plan. Sarah Stone and her daughter, Ronnie are kidnapped. Her husband, Michael Stone is left abandoned as he helplessly watches a huge ship take off with his only family aboard. Throughout the novel, Michael and Sarah struggle to maintain their sanity in the absence of their beloved spouse. We enjoyed the fast-paced novel that has you jumping between the two main characters hopeless situations. With a cast of extreme characters and catastrophic situations, the author weaves a web of deceit so that you find it difficult to know who to trust. Though a reader may doubt the story due to its complexity, this book has great potential to become a major suspense/action film. Although the reading comprehension is difficult, we still strongly recommend reading this thrilling novel. It contains a conclusion that will shock and satisfy your desire for drama.

Summary: tedious and uncanny good fortune for each peril encountered
Review: The review of Paul Garrison's new book, Fire and Ice, intrigued me so I purchased it. However, although the plot developed rapidly, the reader was required early on to endure an abundance of technical sailing jargon/maneuvers to bridge to the more meaningful parts of the plot. The miraculous ability of the lead character to overcome all obstacles in his path, including natural phenomenon, was very unrealistic and annoying to this reader to the point of sometimes being even ludicrous.The book was mediocre reading with a lot of potential action to play on, but I found the plot underdeveloped, incomplete, and some very unbelievable solutions to, and some very 'casual' escapes from some BIG problems.

Summary: Chock full of suspense, but a little technical.
Review: This book is really quite exciting. The plot moves along quickly and packs a lot of punch. The only problem I had with it was the technical description of sailing techniques. If I was a more avid sailor, I'm sure it wouldn't have been a problem at all. All in all, it's a great read!

Summary: What an adventure!!!
Review: This story is made for the movies. If Disney doesn't get Harrison Ford for the male lead they're missing the boat. (No pun intended.) I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Read it at one setting, finally putting it down at two in the morning. The next book (previewed at the end) sounds equally good.

Summary: Very interesting and exciting
Review: This was a really good book and a true adventure story! It was hard to put it down. I didn't find it too technical as some of the previous reviewers mentioned. The only bad thing I could say about this book was that it was so suspenseful and the suspense went on and on for so long, that I got tired of being stressed out about it. It was like the author didn't know when to end the book, but just kept having bad things happen to the family. But overall, it was a great story and I recommend it!
