James Huston (1) (1953–)

I had the book in my possession for two months, and delayed reading it, thinking it'd be "ok", but probably just another military action adventure like so many others. Now, I regret the delay. It ended up being a very good legal thriller, filled with courtroom drama, a likeable ex-marine lawyer defending a French helicopter company in a wrongful death / fraud lawsuit, an easy to dislike opponent who was an unethical class-action lawyer, no superhuman hero character, some suspense and show more intrigue, and a smattering of international politics. I think if you like the style of Scott Turow and John Grisham, you'd like this book too. show less

Expecting a book about flying adventure and helicopters, I got a legal drama. Despite the book's wrapping in the banality of the legal process, the theme and exciting plot continued until the very end. I thought that a couple of the lawyers ought to be taken out back and shot, but that is the talent of the author coming through. Teased with innuendo and crammed with facts, the book is a winner. Read more Huston!

I enjoyed this one--exciting and the action never stops. Primary character is crafted after the author, who seems to have more experience than normal. Author is clearly passionate about the subject and it shows.

Great Action & Thrilling Story! Listened on Audible Audio. The story begins with the crash of Marine One Helicopter and killing the President. The court drama to indict World Com - a French manufacturer of the helicopter with a high power NY class action attorney representing the First Lady & the widows of the Pilots & secret service also killed in the crash against a small D.C. litigation Attorney representing the Manufacturer. Excellent Narration and Story Line - in this day in age even show more more conceivable and believable! show less
