Reactor

Rating:
Summary: Stunning, thrilling first novel
Review: My hat goes off to Gerald Kobernick for his gem of a thriller called "Reactor". This melodrama will keep you on the edge of your seat hungrily going from chapter to chapter trying to fathom the totality of the mystery which spans continents but is primarily is set in San Diego, San Francisco, New York, Washington DC and Israel.

Dr. Kobernick's tale of intrigue shows a benefit from his Dental profession, world travels and a deep personal involvement with Israel's people and confrontation with its Arab neighbors.

This book is not as long as its pages might connote. The chapters are minimal in size which demonstrates an excellent ability to say what has to be said as the story moves forward and allows reader not to be lost in lengthy chapters. This layout permits the reader to read progressively in mini plot bites. Having read "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown with its own minimal chapters after the "Reactor", I felt justified in concluding that Kobernick was especially skillful with this writing technique.

All readers who are familiar with the locations of the action in this book will become more than elated as the plot is carried into familiar terrain.

The movement of the characters who are from all walks of life, political, religious affiliation and diverse ethnic backgrounds, keeps you on your toes and will test your ability to follow the action. Examining many of the situations would definitely be useful to FBI, CIA and airport security persons since they reveal elusiveness and scheming plots to escape current routine detection. We may all be safer from reviewing these fault lines in security. "Reactor" addresses Middle Eastern issues and is a poignant study of the frightening lengths to which terrorists will go in attempting to achieve their goals.

I urge anyone wishing to read a contemporary, real life, powerful book, a fast moving thriller to rush to order this novel.

Dr. Kobernick should be commended for his lucid cliff-hanger of a first novel. The novel is chock full of real people and will be worthwhile for you to get involved with its suspenseful total action.
