Summary: Yep, Rocket Science meets Abused Heroine
Review: As an aeronautical engineer (rocket scientist to some), I enjoyed this book. Author is right on target with the technical areas. Also Hinze brought up some good points on domestic violence and the way it can effect a person that I had not previously considered. Good book.

Summary: Terrific book, terrible cover!
Review: Don't judge this book by its awful cover--the story is wonderful, full of suspense and a little romance, and all of Hinze's usual edge-of-your-seat elements. I never ever miss anything she writes. ... --I couldn't tell much about the cover ... based on Hinze's reputation for a consistently good read. If I'd seen it in bookstores, I would never have bought it. I'm glad I did! Too bad the publisher fell asleep when it came to art work. ... .

Summary: Exciting work
Review: Dr. Julia Warner-Hyde fled the Air Force when her abusive stalking husband Karl tried to kill her. Julia now teaches first grade in the Panhandle town of Grace, Alabama. Out of the blue, her covert past returns when Dr. Seth Holt arrives to ask her to help.An unknown enemy has stolen the Rogue Missile System that both of them worked on together. His latest work, Project Home Base, an anti-missile system that reverses the enemy launch returning it to attack its own home pad, is seemingly in jeopardy from an insider stealing the technology. Seth believes millions of lives are at stake. He needs Julia's help to finish the current project and uncover the identity of a traitor in order to stop a potential catastrophe from happening... When it comes to military romance, Vicki Hinze is a four-star-general. Her latest thriller ALL DUE RESPECT will bring the author more respect as one of the sub-genre's leading lights. The story line never slows down, as the plot seems to gain speed with every paragraph. The lead couple is a warm, intelligent duo who makes the tale plausible. With novels like this one, ACTS OF HONOR, DUPLICITY, and SHADES OF GRAY that blend a military thriller with a romance, Ms. Hinze has become a member of the sub-genre's Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Summary: Enjoyable Read has emotion and action
Review: For a book about rocket scientists, this was pretty dumb. The plot is incredibly uneven and drags on and on. I wanted this book to get the point, but it never does. The "mole" out to sabotage the missle defense system is obvious from the beginning, but does anyone do anything about it? No. Julia (the heroine) is being stalked by her ex-husband, does she tell Seth? No. She almost tells him about a hundred times, but drags it out forever. Her ex-husband shows up at her house and threatens her. She runs away, but then goes back home! I could go on and on. For rocket scientists these people were pretty stupid. This book was a waste of time and money.

Summary: Another MUST read from Hinze!
Review: I first discovered this wonderful author in a chat on America Online where she shared her wisdom with a group of writers. I read SHADES OF GRAY and absolutely loved the complicated twists and turns of the plot with the romance subplot going on at the same time. ALL DUE RESPECT doesn't disappoint. It's written with the same engaging style and intelligence as SHADES OF GRAY. Vicki Hinze's strength is her characters. I care about what happens to them. The plot is suspenseful and carries the reader along as well. I highly recommend this book and I don't say that often these days. Good job, Ms. Hinze! I can't wait for the next release.

Summary: Frustrating and annoying
Review: I just finished this and I can only agree with Jayzie1. I just wish I had listened. The only reason I even finished this was because it was the only book I had taken with me on a trip. Don't waste your time or your money. The plot was illogical and annoying. The heroine was supposedly a genious who had disappeared from her highly secure position three years earlier. She is then recruited back into the most secret R&D facility in the country?! As the boss, no less!! She is constantly agonizing over if she should tell the hero about her abusive ex-husband or not (a good third of the book seems to be devoted to this). This is definitely not worth your time or your money.

Summary: Enjoyable Read has emotion and action
Review: Ms Hinze is right up there with Ludlum, Kellerman, and Koontz (without the supernatural stuff). Her stories are edgy and exciting. The biggest difference is that she brings in a strong emotional element like the fact that the woman in this story was a victim of domestic violence. Someone looking for all action and no characterization might give this a 4 instead of a 5 but its the characters and what makes them tick that makes Ms Hinze's book extra extra special. I've already preordered her next novel and can't wait to read it.
