Summary: Read Snow Wolf Instead
Review: I was dissapointed in this book. I read what I thought was Glenn Meade's first book "Snow Wolfe" and thought it was excellent. I couldn't wait for his new book to come out and when it did I could not understand why it was so boring. No thrill in this thriller! Then, while perusing my favorite used book swap, I encountered an old copy of "Brandeburg", published in England in 1994 by Coronet Books. It was a little different than the "new" Brandenburg, but mostly the same (written by Glen Meade in case your thinking something bad here). So, this was another publishing attempt to recycle an old book into a new one. Now I understand! Why they didn't just mass market it in paperback like everyone else, I will never know!

Summary: Good story, so-so writing
Review: I was interested in the premise of the book when I picked it up at the bookstore for an upcoming vacation. The plot itself was well-conceived (although as I read, it seemed like I'd heard the story before in a lot of late-60s/early-70s spy movies and TV shows). But the writing itself was a little disappointing. Meade's presentation of the story was somewhat labored, some of narration repetitive, and the injection and development of so many minor and supporting characters made it confusing. Furthermore, Meade ought to shoot his editor, or spring for a word processing program with spell-check and punctuation-check.I confess to being compelled to finish the book, especially toward the end, but it was too easy to put down, especially on a beach where it's main competition for my attention was my bikini-clad wife and other similarly-attired females.

Summary: A compelling page-turner
Review: I was stuck on the tarmac at the airport in Providence, RI for 4 hours waiting for O'Hare to reopen: and was I ever glad I had this book to keep me company! Not great literature by any stretch, but a truly compelling page-turner. Interesting characters, and an almost believable plot (I don't want to give it away, but before entering Meade's compelling story, you would NEVER imagine that you'd find his premise believable...but he somehow makes it work!).

Summary: not the greatest,
Review: Just by imagening the possibility of a Fouth Reich and how Germany would achieve it made me get this book. The idea of a 4th Reich is very powerful and fearing and the way it is presented in the book is quite entertaining. It's a nice, smooth book and not boring. It is sometimes surprising and the events are very film-like.

Summary: The Nazi's are coming! The Nazi's are coming!
Review: Run of the mill thriller that mines all the same ground that other thriller writers have already picked over. Nothing new is said. The good guys win (though way too many die!). And those Nazi's down in South America are foiled again. Believable => No Fun => Most of the Time A good summer vacation read.

Summary: Melatonin on the double
Review: St. Martin's has the clout to get reviewers and book peddlers to push a slowly paced sleeper with the thrust of a Saturn rocket- Only in America, where publishing is as deftly engineered as the Lowinsky lip service and Jerry Springer's jive. Go to Australia for a read that'll keep you turning pages to a beat that'll put a smile on your face-spear of golgotha. I bought that book-I wrote it too.

Summary: atmospheric thriller!
Review: this is a classic thriller that pits a international policeman,a lovely reporter against evil conspiracy to start the fourth reich.Meade's sinister premise is backed with exotic atmosphere, violent action, plot twists and some really nasty villians that leads to chilling conclusion that will make you pause and think!

Summary: Come on, get real.
Review: This was like somebody was writing a term paper for someone else. Nothing personal but if I bluy a book I hope that the guys reviewing it can be straight about what's between the coers. It was B O R I N G and I mean boring as hell. I'm sure the publisher payed the guy a lot of money for a miltibook contract, but how did anyone witha anything better do really read this and think that it was anything that made you keep turning pages. It made me turn the lights off and read a book I read before. Like something great like an old Jack Higgins book or Ross Thomas story. Who do you reviewers think your kidding? Oops. I know who. Everyone who reads the reviews that the company pays you to praise. When are reviewers going to be legit? Dumb question. Sorry Mister Meade. This was crummy. I hope you can write something that keeps our interest. Oh yeah, that Sands of Sakkara, I borrowed it from someon and read few pages and it looks like the same thing. Whatever, you already made it with the reviewers so, what can a poor schmuck like me have to say? Keep up the mediocre work.

Summary: Fast-paced, well-researched...good read
Review: This was my first Glenn Meade book, and I was impressed by the amount of research he's put into this book. Like any other thriller, it has some loopholes, but overall, I think it is fun...specially if you are into the Forsyth-Higgins genre
