Last Rights

Rating:
Summary: Great suspense book
Review: This is the first book I have read of Philip Shelby. I usually read Sci-Fi books, but I was glad that I picked this book up. The mystery that surrounds every character keeps you wanting to know what was going to happen next. There were good twists in the book aswell which added intrigue to the plot. If anyone has read 'The Firm' by John Grishman, they will like this book. As I found it better than 'The Firm'. Cannot wait to read another book by Shelby

Summary: Pure Boredom
Review: This is the second Philip Shelby book I have attempted to read, the first being "Days of Drums." These books were so dull and poorly written, I found my attention wandering. I was unable to complete "Last Rights" because it was so boring and returned it to a bookstore. I didn't even ask for my money back. I just dropped it off and "donated" it to them. I can never throw a book out...no matter how bad it is. Dull, dull, dull.

Summary: Good read in this political season
Review: This political / action thriller revolves around the murder of a Colin Powell-type successful black general that was staged to look like a plane crash. Army Warrant Officer Rachel Collins discovers a clue to the actual cause of the general's death while investigatig another crime and a nation-wide chase ensues while victims fall all over the place at the hand of the professional assassin "The Engineer."

It started out slow but the middle part of the book is really quite good. Shelby creates good tension and the main characters get banged up most thoroughly and realistically.
