4.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced action thriller, Aug 23 2003

By

Douglas De Bono - Author of No Safe Harbor (Minnetonka, mn United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: End Of The Enemies (Paperback)

The End of Enemies is a complex thriller that combines many elements ranging from Arab terrorists to Japanese businessmen to Russian spies working as consultants.

Rather than explain the plot, which in itself would be a spoiler, this book takes you into the realm of political motivation and the interests of countries such as JJapan, Syria, Israel, Lebanon and America.

Many people have given this book 5 stars. While the writing is fine and pace is fast, there were a couple of things that didn't work for me. The love affair between Briggs Tanner and Camille seemed superficial and the political landscape established in the book is flawed.

Despite these issues, I found myself reading it to the end.

This review is from: End Of The Enemies (Paperback)

Slow, and plodding. Nothing new, or unpredictable. Clive Cussler should have saved his rave review for another book. Totally uninteresting story of an ex-spy/assasin-Briggs Tanner, who witnesses the execution of a man he barely knows, and decides he must get involved in finding out who killed the poor man. Very few action sequences, and those there were, barely made it worth drudging through to the end.
Come on, isn't that what the police are for?
Suggestion...skip it, and read something else, anything else!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Debut, July 30 2002

This review is from: End Of The Enemies (Paperback)

Listening to the recommendations of some friends, I took a break from fantasy and tried out Mr. Blackwood. He now has a new dedicated fan :)

My only complaint is that he is a little too good at keeping the reader's attention. Never, and I mean NEVER, read "just a chapter or two..." before you go to sleep, trust me on this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars The End of Enemies
Great Book!! Started reading it on vacation, and could NOT put it down. He weaves the tale together like a master author, even though this is his first book. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Winner!
As I said in my review of Blackwood's second book (Wall of Night, which I read first), I generally don't go for suspense-thrillers, but neither The End of Enemies nor The Wall of... Read more
