Summary: An Action-Packed Page-Turner
Review: This is a terrific first novel by a California attorney who loves the mountains and has a real flair for wilderness writing. In this novel a group of really bad people work overtime to kill an experienced Native American mountaineer and a female FBI agent. The combination of winter snowstorms, mountain adventures, and action scenes of real speed and complexity make for a very fast read.Dun has a sense of survival in the winter in high mountains that makes the book worth reading just on those terms. His portrait of a very smart but urban FBI agent interacting with a Native American medical doctor who grew up in the area and really understands how to get around and how to survive is just a terrific story. The bad guys are ruthless enough and serious enough that even with all the doctor's survival skills and the FBI training the duo faces very long odds in surviving. How they survive and then win will keep you turning the pages. David Dun is off to a great start as an action writer. He has a quote from Clive Cussler on the cover, "escapist fiction of the first order," and he may well prosper in acquiring new readers as Cussler has.

Summary: Don't start this book at midnight.
Review: This is a well-paced, action packed, and intelligent thriller. A very impressive first novel. Without giving away too much of the plot, Necessary Evil is set in the rugged, desolate mountains of Northern California (yes, there are still whole stretches of Northern California that are essentially wild and uninhabited). A plane crashes in the night; there's some awful bio-engineering secrets on board. Those secrets are discovered by a female FBI agent and Kier Wintripp--a successful vetinarian and the de facto leader for the local Indian tribe. From there, a chase ensues that's pretty much unrelenting in its intensity, with various sub-plots and surprises. As is the case with most good thrillers, Mr. Dun's book works on a number of levels. It's packed with interesting discussions regarding genetic engineering; it contains a believable love story; and it even reveals various (and, no doubt, well-researched) wilderness survival skills. As if that's not enough, Dun begins each chapter with an Indian proverb and steeps the entire book in Indian lore. The whole thing makes for an adrenaline charged reading experience. I highly recommend this book and am very much looking forward to Mr. Dun's next book, which I'll know better than to start at midnight.

Summary: david dun's suspense doesnt stop
Review: this man right here knows how to write an extremely fast paced action novel. this book is the hardest book to put down ever because the action never stops. from the very first page to the last one there is action and characters that would blow your mind. i havent read his second one yet but am extremely looking foreward to it. if you like action novels with a hint of romance this is the author for you. but dont take the romance part wrong its not some sappy love story that you'd see some old lady reading. this book is nonstop action and i would definately read it again although it would take me about 10 minutes because of its intense speed. BUY THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW!!!
