3.0 out of 5 stars
An enjoyable thriller.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Voyage of the Storm (Mass Market Paperback)
This is only the second book I have read by this author, the other being 'Blind Prophet' at least 10 years ago, but I couldn't help seeing a similarity between this author and Clive Cussler. This is not a bad thing as I like Cussler too.The story takes place in the Pacific Ocean, when a ship carrying a cargo of plutonium from Russia to Japan is hijacked by a group of Japanese terrorists, who want to remind the world of the effects of nuclear devastation. The remainder of the book follows the trials and tribulations of the passengers who are being held hostage and of the hostage takers themselves, as a race begins with one side building a bomb and the other trying to prevent it. There is a section in the book that is a bit implausible to me, this being what the five men achieve on the island, but then without this achievement, there would be no story. It took me a few chapters to get into the swing of this book, but once I did, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. There is some nice ingenuity shown by the captives, both on the boat and the island. The expected conflict within the terrorist group was handled well, as are a couple of the bad guys that pop up in the most unexpected of places. If you like books by people such as Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler, then you will probably like Bart Davis' works too. IMO, it's not quite as good as a Cussler book, simply because the reader has to work that little bit harder to make it through the story. This book only gets 3.5 because although I enjoyed the story, I had to work at reading the book a little more than I really wanted to. David Lucas (davidlu@sco.com).
