Deep Story

I read The Medusa Stone by BuBrul about 4-5 years ago and picked this book up after I was done. It has been sitting on my shelf for a long time and just now got to reading it. I can see why I picked up another book from this author. This story is very deep ans smart. The action is good and the characters are likeable. The downside to this story is the length of the descriptions and the depth at which DuBrul writes. It takes a good while for the story to actually get going. I still would recommend this book but only to those who want a really deep story with heavey descriptions.

A Fun Book

No adventure fiction book comes close to a book you can believe (like Day of the Jackal) but I think these are better than the Cussler books.

Totally implausible, but very entertaining

There's only so many words for this book.

Read it!

As with Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino, there's a new dynamic duo in town, and one of them is older than the sun. (every pun intended) DuBrul does a fantastic job with developing the characters; their depth and frailities, charisma and understanding. The tale weaved, bested by the intense character exposure and interaction. Maybe DrBrul will write a christmas story one day as a follow up. Maybe even a short story. I have a feeling it would be one heckuva party! Medical doctors should beware, however, because there's an 80 year old, chain smoking, hard drinking hero that absolutely steals this book. I give DrBrul a "thumps up" for scoffing at the politically correct nonsense that has pervaded the current conscious. Harry - keep drinking, smoking and stabbing bad guys with your cane; it makes for an enjoyable read.
