Summary: An Excellent Debut
Review: Listening to the recommendations of some friends, I took a break from fantasy and tried out Mr. Blackwood. He now has a new dedicated fan :)My only complaint is that he is a little too good at keeping the reader's attention. Never, and I mean NEVER, read "just a chapter or two..." before you go to sleep, trust me on this one.

Summary: A Page-Turner! I loved it!
Review: Mr. Cussler's cover quote says it all: The End of Enemies is pure fun, pure adventure! I picked up this book Friday evening and couldn't put it down all weekend. In fact, that's my only complaint: I lost some sleep because I couldn't tear myself away from it. Suspense, action, intrigue, espionage, globe-trotting adventure, and great characters--including the main guy, Briggs Tanner, who's a real hero's hero--The End of Enemies has got it all. Heck, it's even got a fair amount of mystery for those of you who like your mysteries with a dose of adventure. If you like Cussler, Clancy, Wilbur Smith, Frederick Forsyth, Robert Ludlum, and all the other biggies, The End of Enemies is right up your alley. i highly recommend it. And the ending... Well, let's just say I don't think I took a full breath until the very last page! Only one question: When's Blackwood's next novel? I can't wait!

Summary: End of Enemies was End of Excitement
Review: Slow, and plodding. Nothing new, or unpredictable. Clive Cussler should have saved his rave review for another book. Totally uninteresting story of an ex-spy/assasin-Briggs Tanner, who witnesses the execution of a man he barely knows, and decides he must get involved in finding out who killed the poor man. Very few action sequences, and those there were, barely made it worth drudging through to the end.
Come on, isn't that what the police are for?
Suggestion...skip it, and read something else, anything else!

Review: that is a page turner. Takes a nice spin around the world of spies, political factions, military action, terrorist groups and throws in a world domination madmen. A great action filled, fun read.

Summary: Fast paced action thriller
Review: The End of Enemies is a complex thriller that combines many elements ranging from Arab terrorists to Japanese businessmen to Russian spies working as consultants. Rather than explain the plot, which in itself would be a spoiler, this book takes you into the realm of political motivation and the interests of countries such as JJapan, Syria, Israel, Lebanon and America. Many people have given this book 5 stars. While the writing is fine and pace is fast, there were a couple of things that didn't work for me. The love affair between Briggs Tanner and Camille seemed superficial and the political landscape established in the book is flawed. Despite these issues, I found myself reading it to the end.

Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. It is on tier with Clancy and co. A true pageturner, with nonstop action from page 1. I hope he writes many more books like this.

Summary: Buckle your seatbelt!
Review: This was a thrilling and intelligent read and the level of detail was incredible but made easy to read for those of us never in the military. The plot is facinatingly complicated and picks up speed quickly. The characters (the good guys) are people that you find yourself wanting to know more about and even wanting to meet. Even after 600 pages I wanted more...I am anxious for the next book!

Summary: Great Adventure!
Review: What can I say? The End of Enemies is the kind of suspense-thriller that I
love to find, but so rarely do these days. It grabbed me from the first
page and never let go. Fun, action, intrigue, espionage, heroes, villians,
traitors.... It was all there! I especially enjoyed Blackwood's deft interweaving of character- and
plot-lines and the "insider knowledge" sprinkled throughout the book, as
well as all the exotic locales the reader is taken to. I felt like I was
living a real adventure -- not just reading another canned storyline with
characters that have nothing invested in what's going on. If suspense-thrillers are your kind of book (and even if they're not, you
may be surprised by how much you enjoy it), try The End of Enemies. I
wasn't disappointed and I don't think you will be either. PS -- According to Amazon, Blackwood's next one, The Wall of Night, is due
this month sometime. I'm ready!
