Summary: Reisig- Story Teller par excellance
Review: Reading Michael Reisig books is similar to listening to the oral story tellers of old. You quickly forget you are reading and fall into the spell of the story being told to you. It's a grand thing to find a writer like Reisig who's narrative leads you deeper and deeper into his story and it's characters. "Hawks" is a masterful book. My copy was dog-eared from my two readings, and is now back on my shelf after three friends insisted on reading it. Long live the Hawks of Kamalon!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Top 'o the Line Story
Review: Reisig is one of the best story tellers around. "Hawks" is a real true adventure story .. but mixed in is love, both for country, mankind and between man and woman.

This book should be on everyone's "must read" list. And with it should go his "Madrid Run."

I'm totally sold on this writer - this story teller. He does it with both finesse and boldness, never leaving a reader hanging in the air wondering what the story is all about.

Summary: Reisig is emerging as a fresh and original master of SF
Review: The best prose is born in poetry, and the best poets know the depths of the heart and human spirit. Michael Reisig, with his first two novels, is forging a legacy that the best may one day strive to match. Reisig demonstrates amazing insight into that which lies deep in all of us, which can move us to the highest acts of love, courage, and heroism. He paints familiar and foreign landscapes with the sensitivity of a poet, then blazes those landscapes with non-stop, heart pounding action! Reisig's first novel, The New Madrid Run, was a page-turner that kept me awake and surging with adrenalin till dawn. Yet it was just a warm-up for The Hawks of Kamalon. Michael combines bold, heroic action with authentic historical detail. He knows the flying qualities and capabilities of a P-51 Mustang as well as Bob Hoover, and spins an adventure-morality tale with an audacity worthy of Bob Heinlein. With these two books Reisig shows he has embraced the art of the action thriller, and that he can carry drama, plot, and high-strung suspense from the first page to the last. But more, the serious student of writing would do well to study the powerful subtlety of Reisig's mastery of metaphor, which is skillfully crafted and evokes depths of association that strike one chord after another within the reader, until a symphony of emotion resonates within by the end of the book. Using the poet's art, Reisig has taken The Hawks of Kamalon one step beyond a great read, to a stirring epic. Great fun! I wait anxiously,confidently, for his next offering.
