Plot sounds interesting but the abundant violence and gore puts me off. Thanks for the honest review.

Great review on Bishop's War. I do agree that Mr. Hines' writing skills is comparable to bestseller authors of today. Dialogues are very well-written and while I was reading it, I was like 'hey, this could become a movie someday.' This book is indeed not for the faint-hearted words and scenes are brutal. But nonetheless, I'll give it a 4 out of 4 stars.

A veteran of war goes home and finds his enemies there also. He's like having brought home his work. This promises a fast-track action. An enjoyable read certainly. It is already on my shelf.

@a-tasana-williams, thanks for a wonderful review.

Thank you for the great review! I don't usually read this genre but it sounds like I might enjoy this, although the graphic violence may get to me.

This book is ... Dope..
Highly fascinating and I want to read this and it's even just $2.99. It's a book comprised of action thriller, completed with fast-moving plots, believable Acts and a compelling and believable storyline with comic relief. Scintillating and superb

what I would call a 'tough' book, I.e., very good and not for the faint hearted.
Good review.

Sounds like a dark story. I don't often read war stories, but this one sounds worth the read.

Oh wow. The summary! I'm interested to read this book, truly! Great review. I cant wait to unfold the story soon after finishing preparation for convocation. Definitely worthy to read after all hassles I'd overcome next few days. I've grab and download my copy. I'm excited and this is my first reading political action thriller genre.
