Fan-Tan ReviewYou're supposed to be willing to give every book 50 pages or so before giving up on it, right? I seldom give up on novels and usually read the whole thing... usually there is some enjoyment to be had even in a below average book, ya know?
Well, Fan-Tan threw me on the mat and made me say uncle. I can't believe anyone published it. It's like the product of a hundred drunk monkeys with typewriters.
Let me treat you with a portion that really blew my mind.
"His memory was a mess, as full of giant holes as an old sock. Scotland was an accent he loved. On the other hand, he thought a lot about the future. "That is one of my characteristics, Lorenzo," he said firmly to the bum of a Portuguee who occupied the bunk above, all aswamp in his noisome reflections."
You may believe I have taken that passage out of context and this is a great book. You may think I am a simple minded fool who can't handle stream of consiousness writing.
However, I think it is a crime againist humanity that those sentences happened IN A ROW. Also, "on the other hand" needs to have what was in the first hand in the general proximity of the phrase.
I couldn't get very far in this book.Fan-Tan Overview

Target Lock ReviewIt would seem that Mr. Cobb has not learned that there is a time to stop a series. While I'm sure that the technical merits of the hardware involved in this book are accurate, the merits of the characters are not.
I must say that I have enjoyed the other Amanda Garret books immensely. Which is why this was such a huge dissappointment. Amanda Garret was/is tough but fair, easy to be commanded by but the sort of demanding boss that gets her troops to work well for her. Until this book that is. Now Ms. Garret is reduced to a simpering puppy-love struck school girl who just can't help but fall into bed with her adversary. The sexual scenes involving Garret, and her pal Christine Rendino, do not add to the book. In fact they read almost as if some editor looked at the manuscript and said, "hey, we need some sex in this thing".
And that is just the way it reads. The sex is an add-on which contributes nothing, the characters were doing so well up til this point. Some of the characters we'd like to know more about, but don't get the chance. These include the admiral in charge and the helicopter pilot who seems to be quite a character in his own right.
The plot contrivances are stretched so thin you can see right through them. Need a secret base? Poof, one appears as if by magic. Need to track the heroine? Poof, suddenly the National Reconnasence Office can task a satellite right where it needs to be. Need a new country to act as villian? Hey, Indonesia looks promising. And so on.
The only feeling I got from this book was that I was making a mortgage payment for the author. His heart seemed to be elsewhere, this being written only to fullfil some type of contractual agreement. There was no zest in this book. Nothing like the first in the series.
My reccommendation: Don't buy it. Save your money.Target Lock Overview
