Summary: Excellent Debut
Review: The purest form of flattery is excellent imitation and Dirgo, a Clive Cussler protege, has done a great imitation of the master of modern day swashbuckling novels. The main character, John Taft is cast in the same devil may care mold as Dirk Pitt. The style and atmosphere is similar (though tamed down) as in Dirk Pitt novels. The premise that Einstein did finish his Unified Field Theory but hid it to protect the human race from itself is believable and the background story is the strongest part of the novel. The second half of the novel is weaker as the plotting is more contrived, yet it was entertaining; I spent a pleasant afternoon reading it.One note about the Kirkus review above, the reference to "T E S ? A" on a star map is obviously a pointer to the theme for the next John Taft novel, and not a conclusion of this one. Reviewers should really read the books that they review!

Summary: Poor Imitation of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt Novels
Review: This book is a very amateurish try at imitating Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt Novels. The story line has a lot of promise but does not deliver. The dialogue and the detail reminded me of the simplistic plots of 1950's detective/science fiction TV shows. Hopefully if the author spends more time researching the story and pays a lot more attention to details and eliminates a lot of inconsistencies in his story telling he may improve. Don't waste your money.

Summary: A good offering of action and adventure
Review: This book is clearly the work of an imaginative young writer. The story line is ambitious, grandious and at times a bit overwhelming. With all that said, I think that one comes away from this book with the feeling that this is the work of a writer that coninues to mature in his writing style and over time will provide us with some very good action adventure. I think this is a good first solo effort. I enjoyed the Einstein Papers and I look forward to Dirgo's next offering.

Summary: The WORST and most disgusting book ever written!
Review: This book is truly disgusting and offensive. The author must not be a human to suggest that the loss of American lives is unacceptable, but the death of Chinese is something to be celebrated!!! It looks like he really believes that only America is pure and virtuous, while every other nations are EVIL and hellbent on world domination. DO NOT read this book if you still have humanity left within your soul!

Summary: Decent first novel
Review: This book was good cheap entertainment. It kept a fairly steay flow until the last 80 pages. As far as content goes, the prologue was the best part. For the most part, it and it's cookie cutter characters where utterly forgetable. The rendition of Einstein and the Chinese Military threat where interesting, but somewhat shallow, never truly delivering. Mr. Dirgo must starve himself while writing, because his preoccupation with what thte characters where eating and drinking and had already eaten and drank before we got there was almost scary! Got a long plane ride ahead of you? Go ahead.

Summary: A fun to read action thriller
Review: Years after his death, Einstein remains synonymous with extremely high intelligence. His intention was to create viable theories for practical scientists to put into use to benefit mankind. He never envisioned the corrupt use of his theories by governments to create weapons of mass destruction. On the day he finally completed a workable model of the Unified Field Theory, an atomic bomb is dropped on Hiroshima. The seemingly unnecessary dropping of a second bomb on Nagasaki horrifies Einstein. He realizes that the government is not ready for his Unified Field Theory and hides the final key. However, years later, the impossible occurs when the People's Republic of China obtains the missing piece. They plan to use it to develop a weapon that will make them the prominent power on the planet. The Unites States learns about the Chinese peril and enters a new arms race. Craig Dirgo's debut novel is a fast-paced, action thriller that will receive much acclaim from sub-genre fans. Though the plot contains to many coincidences, the book remains non-stop reading in an international setting. Explanations of Einstein's theories are cleverly used to propel the story line forward. Mr. Dirgo's first novel is very entertaining and will gain him much attention from the audience. Harriet Klausner
