"I like John Sanford quite a bit. His style of writing is interesting, and his stories have enough variety that they never get boring, even when they feature the same characters.
My biggest frustration with his writing is that he never bothers to reintroduce characters, so the books don't really work on their own. Maybe he assumes that if you care enough about who the people are, you will go back and read the stack of other books in the series, but it seems a bit lazy to not even to a perfunctory explanation of who Lucas, Del, etc are for readers who haven't read the entire series."
"Virgil is back and now in the Cities running around. Loved watching him work the Lucas and the crew we love from the Prey series. It was interesting watching him piece this together. It seemed like he was always almost there, but when it did click together things happened fast. The best was the end with the MN guys sticking it to Homeland Security. Don't think that could happen in real live, but it was an interesting way to get things out. Looking forward to the next book."
"Sandford continues to amaze me with his excellent character dialog and believable settings. Since his plots are sometimes wild, it's nice to have a firm grounding in realism. The Virgil Flowers character is a bit like a young Lucas Davenport (from the Prey series), but I suppose he has enough differences to keep him unique. I'd like to see more of that in future books."
"A grand murder mystery. Minnesota BCA are trying to find what connects a string of murders where the victim is found with a lemon in his mouth. It turns out that all of the victims had been involved in stealing equipment at the end of the Vietnam War. When the equipment was loaded, one of the cohort, had murdered a house full of Vietnamese and raped one of the women. Now, the Vietnamese have learned a few of the names and are out for revenge. Unfortunately, the police aren't fighting just the Viet killers but the Homeland Security goons who are feeding them intell in return for info on an al-queda operation."
