Dome City Blues door Jeff Edwards

Two-thirds of the way through this book, I would have reviewed it as rather unexciting with unconvincing characterisation and unimaginative plotting. But in the final third it suddenly took off with some interesting plot twists and more imaginative exploration of technology. Overall, I was left with the impresssion that the Noir style didn't really sit well with the author and he might have been better off writing in a more conventional thriller style. 27 June 2016

The Seventh Angel door Jeff Edwards

This book deserves a 6th star.

I received a free copy of The Seventh Angel from GoodReads to review.

This is the first book I've read by Jeff Edwards but it's certainly not going to be the last. I intend to read each and every one of them. The Seventh Angel reminds me of the early Clancy novels but with a more readable style. Edwards adroitly handles multiple locations and principals and leavens the book with accurate and engaging technical detail without going overboard, so to speak. I can't recommend this book enough.

This book is a thrilling exploration of the military and political dimensions of a direct nuclear threat to the USA and its allies. The suspense and drama are palpable as you turn the pages, not willing to stop because you become so involved with the well drawn characters. Compelling to say the least.… (meer)
