D. R. Evans (1)

This is a fairly obscure little book which I sought out due to its very high rating on Tristan Cooke's Internet Top 100 list. I would characterize it as "fantasy-lite, very well done." There is nothing particularly new about its simple story of good and evil, which concentrates on a young woman who is magically transported from the real world to a fantasy world, and ends up working with a small group of likable characters she to defeat a great menacing evil. But the plot is well constructed, show more the story moves along, and the writing is generally quite nice. In a world of fantasy authors who seem determined to outdo each other in creating complicated, convoluted, never-ending sagas, a well-written quick read like this is refreshing. show less

A Superb Read

It's the story of one man and his quest for vengeance. It's also an exploration of whether or not it can be justified. The story weaves interesting characters in a technical environment with thick plotlines that span global locations.

If you enjoy Tom Clancy novels you’ll find yourself right at home with Reflexive Action. Although somewhat less of a "techno" book than some Tom Clancy efforts, a superb read none the less.

The plot is quite good, and probably somewhat more show more realistic than the world wars that act as the backdrop to most of Clancy’s novels. The action sequences are excellent, and as the tension builds toward the end of the book you really will not want to put it down.

All in all this is Evans at his best, and is well worth a read, even if normally you wouldn’t touch a Clancy type of book. show less
