Every once in a while a conspiracy theory political thriller seems to hit the spot. Major Vin Cooper, a newly divorced USAF Special Investigator suffering flashbacks from Afghanistan, is sent to Germany to investigate the death of a 4 star general killed in a gliding accident. Or was it an accident? Turns out there are questions about the death, and about the death in Iraq of the general's son a year earlier. The descriptions of the scenes in Afghanistan and Iraq, and at the NATO base in Ram...more
A military investigator Vin Cooper looks into the Murder of an Air Force general and his son...Cooper has the cockiness and skills of both Brian Haig's Sean Drummond and DeMille's Paul Brenner...a fun read, but I get a little tired of the Deus Ex Machina plot device of the government/industrial conspiracies of some of these novels...it would have been 4 stars if it wasn't for that
The death of a U.S. Air Force General pulls investigator Vin Cooper into something that may be more than he bargained for. Lots of action with a good story line to carry the mystery makes this a very good book. For those interested in military conspiracy novels this one is a hit. I am already looking forward to book #2.
This book was a pleasant surprise. Many twists and turns and a great ending. I now will read the whole series, Vin Cooper is a hard hitting main character that will carry many more novels in the future. If you like series as I do you could do far worse. I urge you to give David Rollins a chance to win your loyalty as a reader.
I've read a couple of his other books, and they were OK, but this is a whole lot better. It's like he'd read all of Nelson de Mille's books before writing this one.
My first Rollins book and I'm off to the library to get the next. Plenty of action, likable characters; plot a bit far-fetched and involved.
This book read like a made-for-TV movie. Each chapter left you on a cliffhanger or filled in one more piece of the overall mystery.
Very exciting! If I had read it rather than listened to the cd, I would call it a "page turner". Lots of twists and turns in the plot.
I've had the good fortune to meet David; what a fun guy! Vin Cooper books are action-packed fast reads.
Great book! Interesting plot and I lone Vin Cooper - a Jack Reacher with a warpped sense of humor.
Great airplane read. Easy, brainless, fast, entertaining. Action at it's best.
Loved it. Funny, dark, unpredictable and satisfying.
I really enjoyed this book. Great bit of escapism.
Premise is good; the strategy was decent, could be a little better.
And here I was thinking I was in for another tedious flag-waving bit of neo-con porn a la Vince Flynn-made me think about passing on this book. Glad I read it because I actually found a thriller with a great set of characters that are nothing like Mitch Krapp.
Was a bit of a stretch believing the motivation behind the crimes in this novel but a good read all the same.
Looking forward to reading the other two books in the series.

This is a book about a US Air Force investigation into the accidental death of a 4-star general. Non-stop action and adventure makes this a real page-turner. Oddly, it's by an Australian author.
Not Rollins best work.
