"An OK Story That Could Have Been Better.", Oct 27 2002
By John J. Rust - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Washington's Dirigible (Mass Market Paperback)
Mark Strang was a pretty decent character, but I felt there was a lot of untapped potential that Barnes did not bring to the surface. He did do a good job with the scenes where Strang questioned his lust for killing anything associated with the enemy Closers. I also did not get a sense of any great crisis as Strang fights to keep this alternate 1775 on its intended track. The changes to this timeline were pretty cool. I am a sucker for time travel/alternate Earth stories. I liked the introduction of steam engines and dirigibles to 1775. And George Washington, Duke of Kentucky? Neat twist. The action scenes were OK, but tended to get a little too wordy at times.

Not my favorite but..., May 22 2002
By General Pete - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Washington's Dirigible (Mass Market Paperback)
Here Matt and a co-agent travle to an alternate america where King George III offered consessions to the American Founding Fathers and so the american revolution never took place. Matt also comes to another realization that is both chilling and brilliant at the same time. While this book is not as action packed as the others it is still a worthy edition to the serise.

Not great, but a good read..., Aug 4 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Washington's Dirigible (Mass Market Paperback)
Most of the time this felt like an action adventure movie rather than a SF book. I found it rather annoying too how the author continuously went back and explained things which are clearly laid out in the first book. I don't see a problem with dropping clues and background info from the previous story, but you shouldn't continually launch into paragraphs worth of "the exact same stuff." The beginning of this story was good with the fight scene, however, the ending left a little to be desired. Though it may sound like I'm complaining, I still think the book is a good read and hopefully the 3rd in the series finishes strong.
Listmania!
