Summary: Okay but not great
Review: Believe me I am a very loyal William Johnstone fan but this lastest installment in the "Code" series does not live up to the first 2 books. After reading the first one I was hooked, the second even more, and now this one--I do not think so. I think Mr. Johnstone needs just to set back and wait awhile before putting out the fouth book, because if it is as bland as this one I wont read the fifth.

Summary: Code Name: Death
Review: I felt the author was rushed into publishing this book - it was significantly shorter than his other two Code Name books and the story line was extremly weak.The situations the Team found themselves in were too predictable and the solution way too easy. The main villian was never used to his full potential - despite his relevance to the storyline he was a secondary character. It was disappointing to me that the author put more detail into the porn scenes and physical descriptions of the prostitutes than he did the battles and research work done by the Team. I probably buy the next Code Name book . . . I'll just try to read more than the back cover before I do, though.

Summary: "NO MORE FOR ME"!!!!!
Review: Read the first two Code books and they were fair, this one is just not good at all. Don't plan on reading any more. This one is about a teenage prostitute who is missing. Her very rich Grandfather hires Barrone to find her. She comes up dead, then the Grandfather hires Barrone to find her killers. There just never was any story, except the making of porn movies. There was no depth of character study. Not enough detail on things that were going on. I really enjoyed the Eagles Series and the EARLY Mountain Man books. I quit reading them because each book had several pages of flashbacks to previous books. Now I will quit reading the Code Series. Appears to me Johnston is after quanity and not quality. I know it will make not difference to him if I read another one or not but it give me some satisfaction.

Summary: Considering how stupid some of their plans are....
Review: The members of the Code Name Team seem to be as lucky as they are foolish. Lots of people get killed in this book, but the bullets always seem to miss the good guys. Neither the sex nor the gunfights in this book are likely to interest normal adults.

Summary: Fast, violent action, yep that sums it up!
Review: When I pick up a William W. Johnstone book I know what I'm getting into. I'm a big fan of the Ashes series as well as his horror novels and have also read several of his stand-alones. When I pull a Johnstone off the shelf I'm looking for a fast, action-packed read that I don't have to think about. Well, with this book that's exactly what you get: non-stop violent action. Johnstone doesn't go to much trouble building up his characters or building the setting, he dives right into the down and dirty action. Expect graphic sex, violence, and foul language. If that works for you this book is a great way to blow off some steam. This is the thrid book in the Code Name series. In case you don't know the Code Name team is a group of highly trained individuals brought together to operate outside the normal legal and governmental lines. This time they're contacted by one of their benefactors to track down his daughter. This leads them into tangling with the underground world of illegal porn. Once again this is non-stop action and Johnstone holds nothing back!
