Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I really Enjoyed This Book
Review: I like his writing style. He's concise and doesn't use a paragraph where a sentence will do.

A great plot line, well defined characters all combining to a great ending.

A great beach, or airline flight, book.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Predictable, even paced
Review: Like his other books by Woods, this novel didn't hold my interest. All of the elements of this sort of thriller are present. Perhaps too many of them are present: the book reads as if it were following a formula. None of the characters attract this reader's sympathies. The details are not credible, as if the writer concocted this one after doing all his research at his desk instead of basing his narrative on experience. The worst part of the book: it was predictable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great characters, fresh story, easy read
Review: Most of the reviews covered say what I would. I will add that if you have read The Big Picture and liked it, you will enjoy this book. Both books have the same kind of flow and engaging characters.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best Stewart Woods has written.
Review: This book hooks you from the beginning and you CANNOT put it down. I recommend this book to anyone who likes excitement, suspense and at the same time a love story intertwined throughout. Stewart Woods is my favorite author and I hope he continues to excite us with his creativity and imagination. He's so talented.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Typical Stuart Woods
Review: This is one his earlier books and is quite typical Stuart Woods which is in no way a criticism. This one plays more like a John Grisham than some of his other efforts.

Jesse Warden, a former DEA agent, has been sentenced to prison after being wrongly convicted for the murder of his DEA partner. His ex-boss removes him from prison to go undercover in a very small town in the northwest where a man has turned the town into a cult. The DEA is not for sure what the leader's plans are and they want to find out before he can act. Jesse is a likeable but tough character; Woods does a pretty good job of blending his two personalities together. The action is tense and makes you want to continue reading to see what develops.

I am a fan of Stuart Woods and am glad I picked up this older book to read. Looking forward to more from him.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Heat is a great book
Review: This story, I agree played out like a movie. It was a quick paced page turner to the end. The character of Jesse was a character you could really root for. The Pastor made a great villain.

You could really feel the danger that Jesse was in throughout the story. I would not give the ending away but you'll see as you read the story that it will not be a predictable ending.

One of the best books I have read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Quick fast-read with enough action to keep you tuned in
Review: Typical Woods' book. Fast-action, fast-paced thriller. I liked it. Woods paints a real picture of this Idaho town which I could imagine easily. My choice for the actor to play the pastor is: Christopher Walkin. Jessie: Tom Selleck
