Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Fuhgedaboudit
Review: They can't all be gems. This one wasn't. In fact, it was boring. See "Spanish Gambit" to prove to yourself that even Stephen Hunter can write two turkeys.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: No Work of Art
Review: This book fits in the category of "highly improbable thriller with lots of action and little else". Also, much is made of the fact that one of the main characters is Jewish. The vivid description of this person's lack of character and his cowardice leaves one wondering about Hunter's feelings generally about Jews. This is particularly so when his behavior is contrasted with virtually all of the other characters in the book. Overall, this book is mildly entertaining and has nothing else to offer.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: NOT UP TO THE USUAL HUNTER STYLE.
Review: This book was a book where yo were just waiting for it to end. Why did a publisher even put this back in print? You can tell it's old in the lack of experince in the writing.

The book itself is about a hundred pages to long.t.It started out with a great action scene but then slowed down to a halt. All the characters were poorly portrayed but one, miles lanahan, the only character that actually was three dimensional.

One thing this book has is timing. The end, you must wade through gallons of crap to get to it, is exciting but with complete lack of suspense.

I love all of mr.hunters books but this one. Learn from you're mistakes mr.hunter

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than Bob Lee...
Review: This is the second novel by Stephen Hunter that I have read. The first being, "Time To Hunt". "The Second Saladin" is a better written, more intelligent novel. I found the characters to be more complete and interesting than the characters in "Time To Hunt". This may be the result of reading the last novel in the series, before reading the preceeding novels, missing some background information, etc...but, overall, the plot, action, pacing..."The Second Saladin" is a better overall novel than "Time To Hunt".
