Summary: Pure fiction
Review: The whole Kumite, fight to the death, CIA spy stuff, all that is pure fiction, ...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Visions Of Grandeur
Review: This book has a lot going for it in the entertainment department. It reads like an exciting James Bond novel and even has the main character triumphing over the epitomized antagonist in the end. However, I seriously the question the validity of much of the accounts. Dux's exciting exploits are suspiciously incapable of being verified. I find it too convenient that not a single document or correspondence was left to backup any of the incredible adventures Dux claims to have undertaken. From stolen anthrax to superhero death matches in exotic back alleys, it all smacks of ego embellishment. If you are looking for a fun and exciting story about covert action, this book should be highly enjoyable. Just keep a salt shaker handy as the events will require a lot more than one grain to digest.
Summary: Great spy action indulgence. A fine example of good ghost writing. Marred by the author's annoying claim that even half of the events are real. Enjoyable but best read with heavy skepticism.

Summary: Great Autobiography
Review: This book has a lot in common with great autobiographies I've read. Mr Dux deals with matters of conscience and circumstance that formed and directed his life. Everyone can relate to these things. He tells these things with an honesty you get in great autobiography, and seldom in everyday life. I wish he would do another book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is a very realistic account of the espionage business.
Review: This book is an extremely informative account of the espionage business. I was impressed with Mr. Dux's accuracy, and I am sure those who worked with him can agree.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Oh, Please
Review: This is the most asanine excuse for a book on the intel community by this wannabe James Bond. It was entertaining, but it is fiction and should be taken as such. If you want the goods read Dick Marchinko or Blackhawk Down

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the only true account of the shadow warriors
Review: Unlike "Assanine Reader" I have lived in the shadows. Frank is the first person who put into words what is the truth about our gov't, and how it operates.
