Summary: It Passes the "Late-Night Start" Test!
Review: I started this book in bed, late at night, and had to force myself to stop reading, hours later. It's fast-paced, and I enjoyed all the inside-Washington, D.C., touches. The book jacket says that Davis was an Air Force major, and planned U-2 surveillance missions, so it makes me wonder how much of this "fiction" might be based on things he's seen?

Summary: It grabs you by the throat!
Review: I started this book on a flight to Chicago. The first few pages had me hooked and I never stopped reading on the 2 hour flight. It's a book you do not want to put down. After landing, I made a sales call and then went to the hotel and finished the book at 2 AM. It's a great read!

Summary: Excellent Book...It is a MUST in buying books.
Review: I think this book is one of the best ones that I have read lately. The whole story line and the outcome is something that I would not have even thought of.For the book lovers out there, this is one of the best books.

Summary: Great first thriller
Review: I was reading John Grisham when I picked up Patrick Davis' THE GENERAL. I think the fact that I never got back to the Grisham until I'd finished Davis' book says it all. (And I'm a Grisham fan.)

Summary: The General
Review: I've read all three of his books and this one is his best one. All of the suspects that Patrick Davis brings up die one by one until there are none left. It was hard for me to put down as I wanted to find out what was on the next page as there he was taking you on a suspenseful ride with twists thrown in. The ending has a surprise twist to it.

Summary: Fast and Excellent
Review: Pat does a fantastic job in his first book. Excellent plot and fast paced throughout. I can't wait for his next book "The Passenger" to come out.

Summary: Superb!!!
Review: Patrick Davis' first novel is a terrific, fast read. From the first page to the last, you get caught up in the story and the characters. Finally, a writer with a military background who doesn't waste alot of time on tedious details; he gets the action going and doesn't let it stop til the very end. Hollywood get ready-this book should definitely be made into a top-notch movie!

Summary: Most excellent fast paced thriller
Review: The General is a great first novel for Patrick A. Davis. A military thriller that will keep you turning pages well into the night. I for one will be looking forward to Mr. Davis's next offering. I'm adding him to my list of must have authors. His books will soon be compared to the likes of Nelson DeMille. Someone, anyone.... Make sure I'm called when the next DAVIS is published.

Summary: This book is a grabber!
Review: The General is a murder mystery with a military backdrop that has you tearing around Washington, D.C., picking up pieces of the puzzle. Patrick Davis has an ear for writing good dialogue, and moves the action along. I was casting the movie as I read the book: Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman.....

Summary: A really exciting pageturner!!
Review: The General is an exciting military-based thriller written by a talented storyteller who knows his subject well and has the ability to make the reader a participant. This is Patrick Davis' first novel, and while he will no doubt become better at character development and scene description, the reader of this remarkable story will not be disappointed. The earlier reviewers who say that the author does not know the military are simply wrong; I'm a Naval Academy graduate, and I served with officers just like the author describes (villains excluded, of course). Those who say the plot was easily guessed are either not being truthful or are unusually perceptive. The plot is intricate yet completely believable as it unfolds. I had to force myself to put the book down so I could get some sleep. Hardcover fiction prices are too high, but as soon as this exciting author's current novel, The Passenger, makes it into paper, I'll spring for a copy. If you are looking for a really exciting pageturner (at a fair price), pick up a copy of The General now.
