It is not often I have read an authors works in the order he/she has written them. I am enjoying that fact and I must admit I enjoy his writing style and would pick up and read a novel written by him without hesitation.

Things I enjoyed about the back jacket blurb:

• The idea of four mates retreating to the wilderness for 2 weeks of hunting, fishing and camping (say no more).
• Armed only with a bow and arrow and their survival skills they take on a crazy experimental laser weapon (talk about Robin Hood and MacGyver rolled into one).

From the get-go this book is action packed with the usual Liparulo twists as this thrilling plot unravels. I enjoyed the character development, as it went deep enough to draw you in without derailing the roller-coaster ride that is this book. I was really rooting for the goodies to come and take out the baddies – what a wild ride.

I have to agree with Burton about parts of the plot being a little unrealistic, but the adventure and moral content shine through nevertheless.

Looking forward to reading Deadlock (Deadfall’s sequel).
