Summary: Like the perfect wave it takes awhile to get going
Review: Just finished Icefire, and thought that the action sequences on the Ice in the beginning were very good, but the suspense building moments in the Pentagon seem to bog the story down in a barrage of initials that even i lost track of their meaning. The Wave is portrayed in a truly frightening, and awe inspiring light. The sequence on the airstrip in Hawaii, and aboard a submarine was very moving, and scary. The hero Mitch Webber's ability to fly everything under the sun is explained, and I thought that the talent was an ingenius way to introduce to the reader ALL sorts of different aircraft. The last third of the book is excellent, but yes it does take a little time to get there. overall i say go ahead and buy it, but please be patient with it. Guys I still Love your work!!

Summary: Trite, far-fetched, and riddled with errors
Review: Let's see - the hero and heroine broke up 5 years ago but just happen to meet again in Antartica as nuclear weapons are exploding; the hero, a Navy Captain, can fly everything from choppers to harriers to the SR-71; a two-star general at the Pentagon subordinates warning people about a killer tidal wave to his own ambition. Go on, make a ridiculous movie out of it, but don't pretend that it has any credibility as a novel. While the plotting is somewhat compelling, the characters are shallow and the dialogue is trite. I cannot judge the feasibility of the tidal wave creation by nukes and the ensuing carnage, etc, but their clumsiness with other details such as military rank and yields of nuclear weapons destroys one's confidence in the rest of their material. (They twice refer to a weapon as 5.5 megatons, but then call it 550 kilotons and they get the relative strength of a 20 megaton bomb and the Hirshima bomb wrong, also by a factor of ten.)

Summary: Icefire - A study in acronyms
Review: The plot of "Icefire" presents an interesting concept that was exciting and not unbelievable but bogged down with countless references to real or imagined acronyms. It seems that at times the story line was contrived just to accomodate the use of obscure military/civilian communications and surveillance systems. There was also an excessive use of commas throughout the book.I enjoyed the book and thought it was an above average techno-thriller but it could have been better with more emphasis on characters and less techno babble.

Summary: Prepare to lose some sleep.
Review: The war game scenario that was used in this story is so improbable that you know somewhere there is some study that has been done, sitting on some general's desk in the Pentagon. Hollywood, stop messing around with those Japanese lizard movies, here is your next big disaster film for the summer.

Summary: Great Techo-Thriller! Extremely Fast Paced!
Review: The writing style is very much like that of Tom Clancy. The characters were very interesting and believable. For me it was important not to try and remember what all the military and communication acronyms meant. The authors explained the origins of a soliton very nicely. They also provide very clear description of what the wave does to the islands in the Pacific ocean. I look forward to reading the next novel by this great team.

Summary: Gripping
Review: This book is one of the few that I just could not put down. The story is interwoven with such high-tech equipment and so believable that once you are in you can't let go. The military equipment mentioned in the book is on the edge of fiction and fact. A must read for anybody who is into a militaristic fiction plot that seems based on quite alot of fact.
