2007-01-16 - Great Millitary Action-Thriller
I've read this book several times since I received the book, and have enjoyed it each time. The whole book is layed out nicely, and there are no rough edges to the story at all. Its an extremely easy read, but it is deep and interested nonetheless. I am definately a fan of Mr. Patrick, and look forward to reading his other works. Highly recommended

2004-11-07 - The Cover Up
An accident,a cover up and a AF officer takes the fall. The presidents brother is killed and the heat is on to place the blame. The news media is out to bury the Air Force Colonel who just happens to be innocent. Thats the way the news media reacts when they get a story from high up sources planted in their ear even if its false. A must read on a long flight- Author-The Day Of The Rose-Larry Hobson

2003-10-17 - I really like his style
As a woman, and a non-military one as well, I really like how Patrick Davis writes about military life - enough military to keep it on fact, but not so much that you cannot follow the story, knowing little of the words and phrases they use. Far too many authors do this, and for me, it fogs the story. Patrick Davis tells a good tale (we hope) filled with a bit of espionage and a bit of good raw human feelings for those they love and their past loves as well. His descriptions of the Colonel's former wife show intrigue, hate and still the love and admiration of another human being you've shared your life with, allowing the character to feel all of these things with no reciminations. And he keeps you guessing right up to the last sentence of the book. An all around excellent story! I'm now going to look for more from this great author.

2001-10-05 - The Passenger
This was my first Patrick Davis novel. I was really impressed by his style. This novel was suspenseful and very hard to put down. I am an avid reader (4-6 novels per week) and this one is among my favorites. I look foreward to more of his work.

2001-02-25 - Well worth the read
This book doesn't break new ground. It reads like an old familiar mystery-suspense movie that we've all seen at least once. The good thing is, it would have been one of those movies that had us glued to our chairs. What I'm trying to say here is, this is a good book. I give it 3.5 stars. The plot spins a nice web of intrigue that pulls the reader in. A lot is going on, but it all ties together nicely in the end. The characters play their roles well, and, for the most part, act in ways you would expect them to. And while I was afraid that the parts of the book dealing with the technical aspects of an airplane crash would bore me to tears, I'm happy to report that I was wrong. The technical details were revealed through dialogue between characters, which made them interesting and palatable. Besides that, the author gave only the details we needed to know, rather than trying to show off any technical knowledge on his part. A good choice. Finally, the story moves along at a pretty fast pace revealing details of the investigation along the way. And just when I thought the book was over, the author threw in a slight twist at the end. In sum, the book is good and I recommend it.
