Cobb has clearly done his research on multiple counts and, like Tom Clancy or Dale Brown, masterly intertwines military technology and behavior into a tightly plotted narrative in which every development follows logically and smoothly from what came before. This deft touch extends to the characters: . . . This first installment chronicling the adventures of Maj.

Well done! The story hooked me from the get-go and my attention never flagged. C.S. Lewis called Charles Dickens&#8217; <\/em>Bleak House<em> &#8220;a prodigality of invention.&#8221; I can never rise to the heights of Lewis&#8217;s critical powers, but as a lifelong reader of novels I can say the same thing about your book. Your characters really live, and they are vividly drawn. The dialogue also fits each one&#8217;s unique personality as you have crafted it, and the action comes off as credible. You truly do have a gift for narrative.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And I must say, you really did your homework. The technical mastery you displayed throughout the book was nothing short of dazzling. In that respect it reminded me of Tom Clancy&#8217;s <\/em>The Hunt for Red October<em>. Clancy got everything he needed from researching unclassified material.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I have tended to avoid reading &#8220;Christian&#8221; novels for the same reason I tend to avoid &#8220;Christian&#8221; films. They are often sentimental and corny. Marilyn and I used to enjoy reading aloud the novels of Francine Rivers and Karen Kingsbury. (I think Rivers the better of the two.) They kept my interest, as well as Marilyn&#8217;s, though I haven&#8217;t read either author since. The sad thing is that their work is published by an established book house while you have to be content with self-publishing, and though your writing is in a different genre, it&#8217;s just as good if not better than much of theirs.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I look forward to reading the other books in your series.<\/em><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>A reader in Greenville<\/strong>:\u00a0<em>I purchased the kindle edition of Falcon Down and Falcon Rising. Enjoying them very much! I read the Candidate over the winter season. Highly recommend all of them.
