Summary: DROPBACK: A Great First Effort
Comment: This book is chock full of action, suspense and intrigue. From the opening pages you can sense that the author really knows his stuff. The sense of realism makes it seem like you are in the middle of the action. This book succesfully mixes the underworld of cocaine trafficing and the men who fight the drug war with the exciting world of Sportfishing. At first you wouldn't think this combination would be a natural fit, however Van Alder makes it work so well you wonder why this formula hasn't been tried before. The characters are horrifically realistic. In the words of the author, the main villian, Amado Carillo Fuentes "makes Pablo Escobar and the rest of the Colombians look like f...ing Boy Scouts!" Carillo's sidekick, Paco Herrera is pure evil. Reading this book is like taking a whirlwind tour of the best of the Yucatan Peninsula, but you see the sites from a perspective no tourist will ever get. You may even pick up a few fishing tips. I can't wait for the author's next effort.

Summary: Highly recommended
Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a masterful blend of classic intrigue interwoven with the glamorous high end sportishing world. Superb character development, keenly accurate details and location descriptions enhance the thrills of following the undercover agent through South Florida and Mexico. A real page turner!

I look forward to the continuing adventures of Dan Larsen!

Summary: Puts you right in the cockpit!!!
Comment: This is a great book for the one who loves the details about big-game fishing and large boats. Great, puts you right in the cockpit with the crew and on the bridge with the Captian. This was one book that was hard to put down.
