Summary: Completely Original and Exhilarating
Review: This remarkable novel by Adam Connell is a fast-paced page-turner that grabs you from the starting blocks and takes you on an exhilarating spree of plot twists, sudden violence, and poignancy. In spinning this volatile tale of desperation, conflicted loyalties, and revenge, Mr. Connell uses an interplay between a variety of characters--some despicable yet humorously sympathetic, and others heroic yet tragically flawed--to weave a wonderful read that left the impressions of a true cinematic experience on this reader. Highly, highly recommended.

Summary: Action, Action 24/7!
Review: Yeah, you can feel there are themes lurking under the book's surface current, but I don't have time for that. I want to be entertained. And I was! Holy cow, this book, it's like stepping onto one of those moving walkways at the airport. You have to be prepared for the jolt. So let me prepare you. Counterfeit Kings is high conflict, rip out the breaks, non-stop action. Chases, dogfights in space, murder, betrayals. Blood, guts, and octane, as I like to say. There's depth if you want it, but only if you want it. Connell's not hitting you over the head with allusions and symbolism and blah blah. You can be like me...I rode this thing like a twenty-foot wave and it left me breathless. I want more! Let's hear it for a sequel!
