Kurzbeschreibung

Amazon #1 Bestseller for War Fiction, and Espionage Fiction.

At sixty-five degrees below zero exposed human flesh freezes solid within three minutes.
Retired Marine Master Sergeant Marcus Johnson returned to his family homestead in rural Alaska after twenty years chasing bad men. Now he wants nothing but to hunt and fish and run his trapline in peace and quiet, and no more war.
Lurking deep in a long forgotten bunker in the remote arctic hills is a decades old secret that could not be destroyed, and was never meant to be rediscovered.

"Basil Sands has a knack for blending action and intrigue in an all-too realistic setting. In Karl's Last Flight, the future is reminiscent of our recent past. I just hope there are heroes like Basil's heroes fighting on our side. "
-Evo Terra, founder of Podiobooks.com

"Sands is fearless in his storytelling, and tireless in his quest to connect directly with his audience. Big Publishing? Watch out for this guy." Scott Sigler, NYT Bestselling author of Infected, Contagious, and Ancestor


“Basil Sands is one awesome writer, penning stories pumped with enough adrenaline that you’ll suffer from insomnia until you read the last word. This is one writer not to be missed.” – Jeremy Robinson, author of PULSE and INSTINCT

I just finished 65 Below. It was a wonderful albeit wild ride. I look forward to listening to your other novels, God willing. I am a disabled vet and I found this novel both encouraging and inspiring. I can't get out so much in the great outdoors like I used to but I loved the imagery of it that you shared.

---
Wow. Where do I start. Just finished 65 Below. Once I started... I couldn't stop. I finished it in two days. I can't wait to start the next one...

---
I ... was riveted to each one (of your stories). I noticed that they all intertwined with one another, and I am very happy that I listened to them in order. Are there any more in the works, and will they be connected somehow to the others?

I am not sure how I found this author, I suspect it was a promo on the end of a podcast I was listening to. 65 Below is a action thriller based in Alaska, its set in a post 9-11 world and every second American character appears to be ex Marine or special forces. I hope no international terrorists read this as there is enough in here to give people ideas regarding how to kill off large population areas without damaging property or infrastructure. In fact its so simple and obvious I am not sure why it has never been done. Basil has given the Americans a new enemy. An action thriller well worth the read.

Good book but needs work 8. Januar 2011
Von Western Reader - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I am torn with this review. On the one hand, the scenario is intriguing, the location of the action happens to be in one of my favorite states, and the characters are well fleshed out. The Alaska part of the story moves well, but there are problems.

First of all, this book needs a good editor. There are so many formatting glitches that it becomes distracting. The erratic chapter numbering is confusing (at one time, Chapter 12 is preceded by the number 13). When product names are included, they should be spelled correctly (Ziploc is that ... no "k" -- it finally became correct the third time it was used).

Second, the flashback story reads as if it's a prequel dropped here and there throughout the book, and that too is distracting. OK, I get it ... Marcus has a lot happening to him while on detached duty, but his experiences really do not advance the Alaska story. In fact, it slows it down.

While the characters are, as I wrote, well fleshed out, there are times when the description of the surroundings gets to be a bit much, along with the detailed descriptions of what happens to someone when exposed to extreme temperatures. I wasn't reading the book to be educated on what happens to a body when exposed to minus-65-degree weather. As the adage goes, "cut to the chase."

Lastly, there seems to be something missing at the end of the book. Lonnie has been shot and left in the truck. When we next encounter her, she's on the porch of the house, holding the young girl. What happened? Did a couple of paragraphs get accidentally dropped? With all the detailed descriptions of everyone else when they were shot or dragged or frozen, etc., wouldn't it seem logical to have some sort of description of how Lonnie managed to get out of the truck and over to the porch?

It was a good story, but editing would have made a tighter and more readable journey, and would have deserved five stars.

"At its core, though, it is a great story." 12. November 2010
Von s0nicfreak - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Grammar mistakes REALLY annoy me while reading, so it says a lot that I kept reading this book. I tried to ignore the many misplaced commas, the few missing apostrophes, and the few other mistakes. For the first half of the book, the story - which keeps one begging to find out what happens next - made these things easy to ignore. However, after awhile even that was not enough, and I had to force myself to keep reading.
The consciences in the story - there just happens to be someone that speaks this language or that language in this small town, this guy just happened to meet this guy on the other side of the world years ago, etc. - are just too unbelievable. At its core, though, it is a great story. I hope that in the future Basil Sands enlists the help of an editor/proofreader, because while he is excellent at telling a story, grammar just doesn't seem to be his forte.

A disney version of the war on terror 19. März 2011
Von Bob - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I just did not find the characters believable. They're disney-like perfect. The soldier is saving the world, fighting bad guys who seem to want to kill for the fun of it. The cop is saving the world from drug lords. She seems to have never written tickets for speeding, seat belt laws, busting up a party, or any of the other 90+% things that cops do.

This is just a little to dogmatic for my liking. I really don't believe cops spend anywhere near the majority of their time protecting people. I don't believe soldiers are primarily saving the world from "evil doers". If there was some conflict in these characters, where they did things they didn't necessarily like, but overall believe in what they do, I could buy into that, but this was just child-like good v. evil. It almost read like a propaganda piece.

Still, the action in the story was good. I did find the science behind the terrorist weapon unbelievable. Maybe it wasn't explained well enough, maybe it's beyond me, or maybe it's just silly. The grammar mistakes were also distracting, but my bigger complaint was unbelievable characters.
