Summary: "...this book comes alive ... thoroughly enjoyable read !"
Review: "I've just finished reading 'The CIRCLE of SODOM' and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The descriptions of people and scenes really made the book come alive. The author has the knack of using a few well chosen words to create a whole picture and the feelings and emotions that go with it. 'The CIRCLE of SODOM' is one of those books in which you become so immersed that when you finish you're left with a sort of empty feeling . I will be one of the people waiting for the next book by Pat Mullan!"A reader from Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Summary: Number One Thriller!
Review: Circle of Sodom takes you on a roller coaster ride. Hang on! Or you won't get to the end in one piece. It begins with one of the most intriguing openings I've ever read. Then it takes you from today's headlines, into the shadows behind them. It is a story of the forces that shape our world in the financial, political, and religious spheres, and of the leaders in these areas who battle for our allegiance. And in the end, I suppose, it boils down to the essential-good versus evil. What a tale! I couldn't put it down.

Summary: What a thriller ought to be
Review: Combining elements from the Korean War, fundamentalist fanaticism, political intrigue, and an attempt to seize control of the U.S. by coup, this is a gripping novel. The writing is clean, tight, and tense, and the characters, even the walk-ons, are very real and believable. The protagonist is both tough and likeable, and the villains are credible in their motivations and their private agendas. The structure is effective, using short segments from many viewpoints, carefully assembled to give a sense of the chronology. The climax is stunning.

Summary: A Fun Read
Review: I will start this review with a disclaimer. I had not heard of this author until I was contacted by him and asked if I would be interested in reading his book. Novels concerning political intrigue are an interest of mine. No promises were made concerning how I might review this book and none were requested. As a story with fast moving action and plenty of interesting twists and turns, this is fun to read. I was a bit put off by the time period in which the book was cast which was mostly in 1999 and 2000. The President of the United States during the time period was Bill Clinton and quite frankly, I had difficulty in ascribing any of the actions of this unnamed president in the book to the 42nd President of the United States. The story could just as easily have been moved to a time when we do not know who the president will be. Passing by that, I thought that the "hero" of the book had a lot of James Bond in him for someone who was an ex-medical intern while serving in the Korean conflict and who has become over the passage of time a multi millionaire business consultant. The story line of the book is that some right wing zealots are plotting to take over the Presidency of the United States in such a way that the people are not aware that a coup has actually taken place. There is a mastermind to all of this who weaves in and out of the plot like a Svengali who will undoubtedly reappear in a future novel as will Owen MacDara, the James Bondian business consultant. I also agree that this could make a very good movie and I actually think that the plot and story line may be better suited to the screen.

Summary: What a tour de force!
Review: I'm exhausted through lack of sleep - last two nights reading till 2 in the morning ! What a tour de force! So much more 'stuff' in it than in the normal thriller. Well-paced, keeps you heading for the next chapter - impossible to know where to take a break - until the eye-lids become too heavy....
