Another crazy summer blockbuster-like ride with Scarecrow and team. Everything is so over the top it's insane and fun all rolled together. Seriously, a shark pit and a guillotine!I need a breather but I will be back for more my Scarecrow. :)The best yet of the Scarecrow series. The action descriptions paint an incredible picture and the non stop action is adrenaline pumping.
This piece of trash makes techno-thrillers just look bad. It feels like parody of the genre, but it's too insane to even be that.Crazy acrobatics, such as protagonist grappling from flying planes and whatnot aside, not a single scene is believable. Even worse is that author couldn't spend few moments to google vehicles, weapons and common laws of physics or country borders. So you get two characters somehow fitting into single seater fighter jet, then flying 5000km in the plane that can fly
One stormy night, a lonely college junior sat in his starkly lit college dorm room, deciding how best to procrastinate on all things "school." He had recently read "Ice Station," a novel about some badass military dude who shot bad guys, did acrobatic combat tactical !@#$, and killed Orcas like no other. And he did it all while wearing sunglasses, cause he had some sort of eye thing that made him have to wear sunglasses. Honestly, who remembers.That night, the lonely college junior decided to
I am literally in awe at how incredibly bad this book is. If I could I would give it negative stars. The stuff in this book is only slightly less believable than Star Wars. At least Star Wars gives the disclaimer that it happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. This reads like someone who has no grasp of military doctrine, equipment, or the most general knowledge of physics. I'm willing to suspend some belief when reading fiction but this got a little absurd. Several times throughout
Escapist literature gets a lot of leeway with me. I mean, its there for the sole purpose of passing someones downtime. Characters are usually walking clichés, and the plot revolves around something along the lines of: we only have X amount of time to do something or Y is going to happen. Im okay with this simplicity. But I do have a problem when authors of escapist literature think that their readers are a bunch of morons. I admit, I may not know all the technical details or the makes and models
