FREE eBOOKS FROM THE THRILLER GUY
Since publishing The Farm in April 2012 my debut novel has been reviewed by 25 reviewers. Twenty of these are posted at http://www.amazon.com/author/thrillerguy. Ctrl + Click to follow link. Many of these 25 are top Amazon reviewers. The Farm has never received less than a 5-star review from any reviewer anywhere, to my knowledge. I’m sure that some day I will find a review less than 5-star, but not so far.
My second novel, The First To Say No, was released several days before The Farm. I have seen 25 reviews so far, at least 20 on Amazon. 23 of these reviews rated this book 5-star and 2 rated it 4-star. You can read all of these reviews at my author site, http://www.amazon.com/author/thrillerguy. Ctrl + Click to follow link.

Last week an Amazon and Goodreads reviewer named Marilyn Rondeau posted this review of The Farm on multiple sites:
Five Stars AWESOME – SHOULD BE #1 ON A BEST SELLER LIST
Andy Carlson was a Navy SEAL but when he realized that representatives of the U.S. Government were secretly buying old Soviet tactical nuclear weapons for purposes other than disarmament, he did what any red-blooded American would do – he basically told the government to take their job and shove it! Resigning his commission and having been thoroughly disillusioned, Andy decided to settle down at his family’s Virginia farm and resume his career as an emergency physician. However, as he decides to take a chance on love, or a reasonable facsimile, he finds himself in the middle of a covert operation where he and a colleague (later found to be a female operative sent to ensnare him) find themselves caught between a Russian arms dealer and his own government.
*** Exciting and chock full of action to say the least! Wow, and double wow! I could not put this book down and read it in one sitting – I just couldn’t lay it down. (I actually tried to go to bed, but was so caught up in the story, I got back up and finished it). Author Charles Anderson has written an amazing fast-paced and enormously action-packed volume. I loved the way his hero (and mine), Andy Carlson used his intelligence and gifts of warfare, weapons, and medicine to create this action-packed tale.
There are many facets to Andy, and Charles Anderson unveiled them all. Having lost his best friend in the war, Andy not only suffered from PTS but seemingly tried to drink himself to death with binge drinking. Although, he only binged when he was not practicing medicine so that he could function brilliantly to save lives. And he also didn’t drink when his “ward”, a teenaged Saudi girl he just happened to smuggle into the U.S., was around. Other than his binge drinking, I could really go for our fabulously capable and fearless hero!
The plot of the arms dealing with Russians and our government playing games with one another to the detriment of our country was a real explosive and compelling story-line. Couple this with the author’s exceptional knowledge in the areas of weaponry and medicine, along with age-old secrets and glimpses of the author’s actual farm in Virginia and this turned into an absolutely stellar read for me.
Bottom Line: The Farm should be on a best seller list somewhere – I positively loved it from start to finish!

To be honest, I felt uncomfortable pointing out all of my great reviews until yesterday. One of my trusted advisors asked me why I didn’t post the fabulous reviews I have on my own blog and to online sites of readers groups and reviewers groups I belonged to. When I said that I felt uncomfortable doing this she replied, “Screw your humility! In this business you have to learn to sell yourself. Your reviews are too good not to be advertised. Now get on with it.” Or similar words to that effect.
I have completed the sequel to The Farm, and Andy Carlson is on fire in this one as well. Unfortunately, I can’t release it until enough folks become familiar with my hero to build a fan base. So you are welcome to tell your friends to go to Book Reader’s Heaven and load up.
