Messing with G?d and war... still a MASTER!

First of all let me clarify something. There's clearly a campaign in Amazon against this book. You have hundreds of dismal reviews based on one thing only: Child messed with WAR PROFETEERING creeps! and the usual fascist monkeys came out to oppose this book. Pitiful. Specially from the ones ...
  
  











  



  
Crippled Dreams & Love and Madness1 review
David Rehak

CreateSpace, 2008

long-ago settings, timeless themes

These two novels in one now re-published are already separately reviewed a bunch of times, probably far more effectively than I ever could manage, but I just wanted to add one thing. I'm amazed by the economy of words, never is a word wasted on unnecessary prose. The plot moves the story for long ...

BLUE SMOKE MURDER

Excellent, well written, keeps you involved from the beginning to the end. This is one book you can't wait for the ending for what happens yet you really don't want it to come that soon. Also, very little romance. good suspense and action....rich

Pendragon's Last Stand

After Pilgrims of Raine I was very excited when I heard that another book was coming out. Raven Rise really delivered. The characters were dramatic yet comical.

Girlfriend made me read it...

+ Amazing!
+ Not as good, but needed

I started this series at my girlfriend's recommendation. I was afraid it would be like those Danielle Steele books. But it was surprising. This particular book in the series starts tying up some loose ends and I have already bought the 4th book in the series to read next.

best of the four

+ Just perfect
+ A Born Entertainer....

I really liked this one. I think it was the best of the four author stories that Gibson has written. It is like everything conspires against her but she remains somewhat sane. I mean how sane would you feel if you thought you were cursed? I really liked how the past abd present flowed so I did ...
