Galt s novels have the scientific rigor of a Michael Crichton, the depth of characterization and intrigue of a John LeCarr
Fritz Galt has lived much of his life abroad while writing about his experiences in political hotspots around the globe.
Following graduate study in the MFA Creative Writing Program at San Francisco State University, Mr. Galt moved to Chicago and pursued a successful career in publishing. Mr. Galt has since lived in Belgrade, Taipei, Mumbai, Beijing, Shanghai, Washington, Brussels, Guangzhou and Ulaanbaatar. He lives with his family in Asia.
He has written 15 novels including highly acclaimed espionage, medical, financial, political, historic and techno thrillers and mysteries.
Far too many characters, in far too many locations, doing far too many things, with massive info dumps of dialogue along the way. A good editor or publisher would have cut in half the number of pages, characters, plot points, settings, etc…..Extra star for at least writing in complete sentences. Attempt it if you need a book set either in Comoros or Maldives.
A long book with quite a fantastic plot . Confusing at times . A few typos and loose threads . Some ridiculous conversations at midpoint . The usual rapid ending all while a little girl lies in a coma from malaria .
This is my second Fritz Galt book. A contemporary geo-political thriller, well written, with vivid decriptions of the uncommon regions where the action takes place. I was not too fond of the constant switching of perspectives, which becomes a bit tiring. This could be a four star novel, if it was brought down to half its size. I understand Galt self-publishes his books. A critical publisher would have forced the author to cut down the book. Independent publishing is great, but the bad side is that indie authors may use their freedom to neglect otherwise well-meant critisism.
