My latest book review Blogger News Network October 25th, 2007 by
Andrew Ian Dodge Palawan C D Williams A little under 250 pages with
a nice tropical scene on the cover might lead you to believe that
this was a fluffy little novel about romance in the South Seas. And
that is just the point of the cover, to lure you into this
rip-roaring thriller with Islamic terrorists and 'Nam vets. Locals
as diverse as the lush tropical jungle of the Philippines and Sin
City aka Las Vegas add to a nice mixture here. This is a great
thriller that never once drags anywhere. The pace is quick, the
novel is well laid out and the editing is better than most mass
market paperbacks. The fact that Williams has pulled off a timely
terrorist thriller with more pace and less verbiage than the mighty
Tom Clancy is to be applauded. This is a perfect novel for someone
flying from the East Coast of the US to Vegas. A perfect travel
novel that has enough to get you distracted but not enough to get
turgid. I highly recommend this novel and feel almost intimidated
that this is Williams' debut. The novel would make a perfect movie,
as long as Williams could make sure the baddies stay the same.
Methinks there is a great script right below the surface. Let me
assure you that it does not read like a script made into a novel.
If you are in search of a good novel to while away a few hours
before you sleep at night might I suggest Palawan? For more
