One Way

Just when will I get my breath back? The action just never stops. It all revolves around one tenement building in which Sam archer is almost accidentally involved. As he sits enjoying the warmth of the sun, he becomes aware of a rather disturbing situation, and, being a member of the NYPD, he becomes involved by trying to help a group who end up holing up in the previously mentioned tenement building. The whole building is assaulted by an armed group whose purpose may not be as clear as it would seem at the beginning. Survival is the name of the game, and all Sam's skills are called upon. Some of his abilities may appear to be almost super human, but it does make for a thumping good read. I found it so difficult to put down that I was show more almost out of breath to know what would happen. On to the next one! show less

An absolutely fabulous read which kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The action centres around a group of US Marshals who are guarding a little girl who was a witness to a mob killing of her entire family. Sam Archer accidentally gets caught up in a fight to take out one of the US Marshals who could take down a squad of dishonest policemen. The book was brilliantly written, fast paced and I'm now looking forward to reading book six in the series.

I wanted to like this book, but it opened in a nondescript, non-attention-catching way and segued into a bunch of history that I found boring. I chose to stop reading and probably didn't get through 2 chapters of it.

It's possible that had I read books 1-4 in this series prior to this one, I might have had a better grasp on what was going on at the beginning of this one.
