Review by Syson Dolph -- Conflict on the Yangtze
[Following is a volunteer review of "Conflict on the Yangtze" by Greg Kater.]
While discreetly collecting information on the activities conducted by drug dealers, a shoot-out took place. Commander Stafford sustained an injury and was taken hostage. Though Stafford was captured, Lee Drake with whom he was, escaped. Lee relayed his findings to the other operatives of the M16. During this particular period in time, there were full scale battles between the Kuomintang government, the Communists and many bandit gangs for example the Flying Leaves, the Green Phoenix Rising, et cetera. The Opium smugglers in China were part of the syndicate, which extended further into the United States and Australia.
The unfolding took place in 1946. The days were not stated, but the months, dates and time were talked of. The periods that is to say morning, afternoon, evening, or night were also mentioned. The writer through descriptive writing, gave a vivid image of what the environment was like for example the appearance of the buildings, motor vehicles ridden, meals consumed, and so on.
The author told us about the physiognomy, physique, traits, and how the stars felt throughout the course of this story. The book was professionally edited. The writer added information which was contained in the previous editions. That explained why particular persons and actions were highlighted in the plot of this story. I loved the way Greg narrated about the sense of humor of characters like Jamie and Jacko. I wondered: was Stafford rescued, about the ordeals he encountered; or what other facts he discovered concerning the drug dealers who had held him captive. That aside, I genuinely loved the story in entirety and rate the book 4 out of 4 stars.
Curiosity killed the cat, there's no accounting for taste, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, seeing is believing, the end justifies the means, enough is enough, when the going gets tough the tough get going, many hands make light work, where there's muck there's brass, these things are sent to try us, one good turn deserves another, and all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. These are some of the moral lessons I picked up, while I read Conflict on the Yangtze by Greg Kater.
The first statement that pertained to profanity was, 'bloody hell'. This is at location 101 of 490 paragraph two. The sentence says, 'Bloody hell!' he cried just before backing out. I noticed only three erotic scenes.
For persons who love detectives stories and reading in general, I recommend this story. There were drawing of the maps of the areas, where the story was confined, plus a portion of the article about that same area. This is at the beginning of the book. For persons who love finding out more information about China, this fact you will love.
