Rating: Summary: Couldn't put it down. Review: One of his best books. I have been a Morrell fan for years, and the suspense and action in this book reminded me why. This book combines al of the things that makes Morrell a great author; it has loads of suspense, and action. Plus it has the human side; of love, and compassion which I find in many of his books.
Rating: Summary: A Page Turner From Start to Finish!! Review: This book by David Morrell is a winner! It combines all of the best ingredients of a spy thriller, a mystery, a love story and a police procedural. Morrell successfully combines several disparate characters to create an interesting mix of people who all contribute valuable pieces to the story and all of these different personalities are a piece of the pie that makes this book so enjoyable. Fans of Morrell's other well wrought and devised plots and characters will like the "good folks" they meet within the pages of this novel. The author's usual adeptness and pacing and creating tension are well honed in this novel as well. This is one of those thrillers that grabs the reader from the beginning and holds his/her attention right through the final denouement. Hardly a page goes by that the tension is raised to an almost fever pitch and then, in the interest of keeping the story flowing, is released somewhat. The good guys may get off the hook for the moment, but the respite is only temporary. The evil they face may retreat, but rest assured, it will return. This is a really great book for the reader who is snow-bound or on the beach. A great rainy day, housebound read, DO NOT start it late at night unless you plan on taking the next day off. With "Extreme Denial," Morrell proves once again that he is a master of this genre (really a combination of several) and at the top of his form. New readers of Morrell will also find this book a great introduction to this author and after reading this story, I am sure you'll want to hunt down and read all of the installments in his extensive backlist ...P> I recommend this book to all fans of thrillers and mysteries. Give it a look; you won't regret it. Paul Connors

Rating: Summary: WHAM! POWIE! - Gosh, what a guy Review: This book moves along briskly with plenty of short (2-page) chapters for those of us readers suffering attention deficit. I think that's how Mr. Morrell views his reading public; give us a hit a minute before we lose our concentration. I lost mine trying to believe 85 impossible things before breakfast. Steve Decker is ultra one dimensional, but hey, he's in technicolor! Good for a read at the laundromat.

Rating: Summary: Only Morrell can write like this Review: This is totally captivating from beginning to end. Those were the best two sleepless nights of my life. Thank you Mr. Morrell for your extreme insight into this tantalizing tale of Steve Decker- CIA operative, terrorist hunter
Rating: Summary: A bit predictable, but still unputdownable Review: This is what i love about David Morrell-unlike Nelson Demille, Micheal Crichton, or Tom Clancy, Morrell get's right to the point. From the very first page he dives you into the story and you're hooked. I read 200 pages in a row on this, is was so unputdownable. If you like Morrell, read this!
Rating: Summary: Excellent, fast-paced thriller, fast action, some romance Review: This was the first book I read by Morrell, and it compelled me to..order all his others!! The action is fast and the situations are realistic. Moreover, the main character is well portrayed and believable in his desire to leave his CIA operative lifestyle behind, and in his attempts to return to a "normal" life, only to be forced to revert to his much needed survival skills. I found the combination of fast paced thriller and romance very successful, since many novels don't blend the two well. I give this book five stars!
Rating: Summary: Another classic Morrell novel... Review: Well written, fast paced, and a GREAT plot. If they make a movie out of it, look out...it'll be a classic
Rating: Summary: faster than a speeding bullet Review: What a read! Excitement from the beginning until the final page. David Morrell surely can write with the James Bondish lines and believable content. His research is extremely precise, from his geographical facts, through his combat and covert knowledge. I will plan on reading all his novels and advise all to do the same.
