The genre of this book is “intelligent thriller”. It is not of the NewPulp variety in which I write—meaning there are no sex scenes. This book taught me things I didn’t know. That’s what I liked about it. I learned about the oil business, offshore drilling and how Texas corporate tycoons battle in the courts and elsewhere for the same prize—one to get it and one to keep it. The author’s life experience certainly qualifies him to be our teacher.

The characters are rich and colorful. The story is a good one, although it does get a little complicated and somewhat unbelievable. But it isn’t a big distraction. At the end, there are short, choppy scenes with too many scene switches for a book. However, that doesn’t detract from the excitement and suspense that the author creates. Moreover, this book would make a great movie—better than the book because there is a lot of action that only the camera can solidify. The book is an entertaining read. I recommend it.
