Summary: Get an Editor!
Review: I have read all of Steve Martini's books and this is the worst (by far). The writing is very sloppy and could have used several re-writes. There is a reasonable plot here, but the writing is so bad that it detracts from the story. The dialogue is so wooden at times to be almost laughable. I have noticed that when Steve Martini wanders out of the legal drama genre, his writing seems to deteriorate. Stick to what you do best Steve and get a better editor!

Summary: Critical Mass...Should be a movie
Review: CRITICAL MASS is an excellent book that is filled with lots of action & excitement! There is not a place in the book that will ever bore you. If you have seen the movie HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, you will find these two stories to be alike. When a story is dealing with nuclear weapons and a huge chase to stop a person from detonating a bomb that will cause mass destruction, you know it will be a good book...one that will grab your attention so that you won't want to put it down. CRITICAL MASS fits these discriptions and truely is an exciting book!!!

Summary: Good but his earlier works were great
Review: Martini is one of the top fiction writers in the country. This doesn't hold up to his earlier books but is still better than most of what is out there. Also I recommend checking Bob Mayer's thrilers-- I've searched for new stuff by him but haven't been able to find any, but his old books are really good.

Summary: Compelling Story Ruined by Sloppy Editing
Review: I just picked up Critical Mass, my first Steve Martini, attracted by the storyline. I'm about 200 pages in, and while I like the overall story so far, I must say that reading it has been very disappointing. One reason, the major one, is the very sloppy editing. Some sentences run on, some are incomplete, some make no sense whatsover, and a lot of necessary punctuation is missing, which is very distracting to the flow of reading. I should have known there would be a problem when the book jacket spells the protagonist's name Jocelyn, but in the story it's Joselyn. The other reason is that so far, the characters aren't all that sympathethic, and there hasn't been enough background on the main character of Joselyn Cole.Hope it gets better as I go along.

Summary: thrilling... ought to be a movie!
Review: This was my first Steve Martini book, and I loved it. It accelerated as the plot unfolded, and I found myself wanting to read more and more. I can't believe someone in Hollywood hasn't gotten ahold of this yet. (Or maybe it's in the works.)
