Silent Doomsday

Rating:
Summary: Fast-paced, technically believable, well-developed character
Review: I enjoyed this book very much. It contained well-developed characters (one could relate to their emotions and situations), full action, and was technically believable. The book was well paced, meaning that as one reads and the action becomes more intense one tends to read more rapidly. It fulfills the appetite. Captain Boen may be the next Jake Grafton!

Summary: Good Introduction
Review: Moore writes with a good sense of suspense, and had a good plot premise. His dialogue and romance angle needs work. It isn't as bad as Richard Hendrick's, but it seems stilted. I would still read more by him.

Review: Not Clancy, but an excellent and fun book to read. As an avid reader of tech-no thrillers, I would rate this one among the better ones. What's next?

Summary: I wonder
Review: Quoted from one of the above reviews : "Mike didn't know whether it was possible to shoot down an air-to-air missile with a gun, but he was going to try"

The book looked interesting and I was about to order but when I read the above quote I had second thoughts. Of course it is impossible to shoot down an AA missile ... it's difficult to shoot down a large cruise missile that's going relatively slow like the Tomahawk, almost impossible to shoot down the supersonic cruise missiles launched by Russian ships or Backfire/Blackjack bombers, and we're expected to believe that he can shoot down a Mach 3+ circa 5 foot long missile whose rocket will have burnt out several miles from terminal intercept (therefore no flame or smoke visible) ... yeah sure! Now if his Harrier had been equipped with a laser then maybe.

Summary: Reader's Review of Silent Doomsday
Review: This is an outstanding thriller complete with suspense right up to the conclusion. The concept of biological war that harms machines but not people is unique. Especially fascinating are the scenes at Washington National Airport where pilots cannot get engines running, taxi engines won't start, etc. Every bit of machinery gets shut down. Also fantastic are the air combat scenes over the Libyan desert. This is a hold onto your seats thriller right up to the end! If this isn't made into a movie, Hollywood is missing a good bet.

Review: When I read a review of this book that touted it as good as a Tom Clancy novel, I discounted the praise. How wrong I was. This book is better than Clancy. So exciting, it was hard to put down. The words flow, and transform into brilliant pictures in your mind. Reading it is like watching an exciting movie. Moore's Washington experiences show clearly in the details he is not hesitant to include. It was a great read.

Summary: outstanding
Review: Yes, this book contains all of the markings of the mash that is shoveled into the bookstore on a weekly basis. The heroes are square-jawed righteous 'mericans against those evil empire-building terrorist-supporting Arabs. The women are there to fall in love with the men, and most of them would be best buried in a Y-shaped coffin. No more original or believable than the World Weekly News.
