Kurzbeschreibung

BESTSELLING THRILLER BY EDGAR NOMINEE PAUL LEVINE

"BALLISTIC is 'Die Hard' in a missile silo.  Terrific!" - Stephen J. Cannell

OVERVIEW

A Nuclear Missile...

A Band of Terrorists...

 And Only Two People Who Can Prevent Armageddon.

When a doomsday cult captures an U.S. Air Force missile base, it's up to a lowly sergeant and a female psychiatrist to prevent a nuclear holocaust.  That's the setup of BALLISTIC, the chilling new thriller from the Edgar-nominated author.

 If you like the action adventure thrillers of Tom Clancy, Dan Brown, Stephen Coonts, or Vince Flynn, you'll love BALLISTIC from Paul Levine, winner of  the John D. MacDonald fiction award, and nominee for the Edgar, Macavity, International Thriller, and James Thurber prizes. Available in both e-book and paperback formats.

TRY THESE SIZZLING THRILLERS, TOO!

TO SPEAK FOR THE DEAD: Linebacker-turned-lawyer Jake Lassiter begins to believe that his surgeon client is innocent of malpractice...but guilty of murder.  (All proceeds go to the Four Diamonds Fund for pediatric cancer treatment at Hershey Children's Hospital).

RIPTIDE: Lassiter chases a beautiful, deadly woman and stolen bonds from Miami to Maui.

IMPACT: A law clerk seduces and extorts her boss - the newest Justice on the Supreme Court - to win his vote in a multi-million-dollar air crash case.  The results are lethal. 

THE ROAD TO HELL: A Kindle 99-cent special.  Four thrilling short stories: "Solomon & Lord: To Hell and Back," "Development Hell," "A Hell of a Crime," and "El Valiente en el Infierno."  A hellishly good read.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Heart-Pounding, Page-Turning Thriller 19. März 2011
Von Loves Suspense - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
I've read all of Levine's legal thrillers and never expected a military action/adventure story from him, but I'm glad I took a shot with this one. Most genre fiction writers stick to familiar ground, but this one is far afield of the Miami courtrooms where Levine's Jake Lassiter roams. In fact, it's a nuclear missile silo in Wyoming that's attacked by terrorists.

Then, I read Levine's bio and realized he wrote several years for the military TV show "JAG," which was often set on aircraft carriers, submarines, etc. So, maybe it wasn't that much of a stretch. Either way, Levine has written a lickety-split, heart-pounding page-turner. A lowly Air Force sergeant has to overcome his own fears and shortcomings to stop a bunch of religious zealots from being able to launch a nuclear missile.

Levine makes it believable, scary, and fun.

1.0 von 5 Sternen Horrible 25. September 2012
Von W. Kime - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I always thought that a writer should write about something the writer knew about. Mr Paul Levine has ABSOLUTELY no knowledge of the Peacekeeper missile, the missile systems within the USAF, nor the USAF missile command structure. He also has a disparaging and contemptuous attitude toward the military and military personnel. It was a good thing that the Kindle edition was free when I obtained this piece of trash, otherwise I would be a very upset reader. Unfortunately, I must rate this; however there are no negative stars so I must (under penalty of not having it published) rate it one.

3.0 von 5 Sternen If made into a movie it would be "Direct to DVD". 7. Februar 2012
Von David Dalton - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As a long time action/thriller fan (movies and books) I was looking forward to reading "Ballistic". One reviewer labeled it as "Die Hard in a Missile Silo". That's the ticket I thought! Seeing how "Die Hard" is my all-time favorite movie ever. I have a beat up paperback copy of Nothing Lasts Forever (The book that inspired the movie Die Hard) by Roderick Thorp. I plan to get this book in Kindle format as well. With that background behind me and having read the four 5-star reviews posted, I jumped into "Ballistic".

To me, it was an "okay" book. I would call it "Die Hard Lite". I am sure the author can write suspenseful novels featuring a former football player as a lawyer, but action just does not seem to be his thing. And certainly NOT military style action. My biggest gripe would be the casual relaxed (good ole boy) attitude that ALL the military characters displayed. Almost as if they were all civilians who dressed up occasionally as soldiers/airmen and just pretended to be in the military. Yes, I understood the story would be a little over the top, but I never sensed the military discipline or dedication in any of the characters. I think a 5-star rating is way too generous and even a 4-star rating would give you the wrong indication of how I feel. I think 3-stars just about sums it up pretty good. This is an average action story that if this was a movie, it would be a low cost "Direct to DVD" type movie.

To see where I am coming from, check out my other reviews and see the types of books I enjoy reading and the ratings I have posted.
