Critical Mass

Steve Martini does it again!

After reading Compelling Evidence, I became hooked on all books Steve Martini. He has quickly become among my very select top 5 authors! Why? Because Steve can tell a story.a great story.but you THINK you know where he's going, but he goes somewhere you never expected. Critical Mass is no exception. I will admit, the story starts out a little confusing.but quickly Steve ties everything all together nice and neat and then you are a fast train to the end. I won't spoil the book for you.but trust me when I tell you that you will not be disappointed. I've yet to be disappointed by a Steve Martini book. This book is not part of the Paul Madrini series.

Great book !!!

Steven Martine has written great books (The List, The Judge, etc), however, this one tops them all... Great plot with a great twist for a perfect ending... Well done !!!

What a great book!!!

Once I started this one there was no letting up! I just could not seem to put it down. By far one of his most thrilling novel yet.

This book is one of my top five!

I agree, this book took a few chapters to get started, but it is one of the best books I've read. It is way better than Martini's other books, which are very good.

Worth the time

I just finished reading Critical Mass. In the beginning you may not be sure you want to read this book but hang in there! It's a thriller that you won't want to put down. It leaves the reader with the same feeling that the early Grisham's did. I can't understand the reviews that didn't like this one.

nuclear thriller that keeps your attention

Marvelous. Obviously, not for readers who take a narrow approach to politics or the law, but if you have an understanding of how the federal scheme works, and of the threat of nuclear terrorism, it is a top-notch read. I'm sorry that Martini has not returned to this genre. I hope he does. He's quite good. I have not read his other works, but, from what I've seen of them, he resembles the trite Grisham formula...and a Grisham novel is usually a disappointment, unless you're easily entertained.

Great Story

The book is great! Great Story with the great ending. I have when nobody dies in the end.

Not Worth the Wait

In Critical Mass, Steve Martini has unfortunately switched from storyteller to ideologue. The result is a severe disappointment to those readers who greatly enjoyed the novelistic skills displayed by Martini in his previous books. In Critical Mass, he is obviously more interested in government-bashing than in plot and character building; and his bashing is both heavy-handed and clumsy. Regardless of the nature of Martini's politics, one can only view with dismay their misdirected injection into what might otherwise have been an engrossing novel. One can only hope that, in his future books, Martini returns to doing what he is good at.
