Chillingly realistic.

Very well done. Vividly written. Ms. Knapp does a remarkable job bringing one of the less-considered faces of alcoholism to the reader.

Oh how I loved this.

The set-up is deceptively simple: a young boy, who is the son of a police officer, learns that his father is potentially involved in a shoot-out gone wrong. His friend who went through something similar lost his father because his friend's father was without backup at a crucial time.

This boy knows where his father's spare weapon is kept, and decides to ensure that his father has backup.

The whole tale keeps you on the edge of your seat, and despite its brevity, the tension rises to a fever pitch before ending. Obviously, I'll not spoil anything, but if you've got a moment and want to see someone capture the voice of a scared - and very brave - young boy determined to save his father, no matter how dangerous it is.

An extremely chilling movie. One thing I did not understand is why did the rescue team not have a longer rope? They knew Toni is stuck somewhere very high up. If only they had not tied two ropes with a knot, probably Toni Kurz would have been alive today to tell the account of their climb from horse's mouth!

Nevertheless, the movie is made in a very realistic fashion, and I had chills while watching it (more chills than what I get when watching fake horror movies)!

A well-thought out tale of a future society not so hard to imagine. I won't reveal the cause or provide any arguments against it but it's certainly plausible. And that is why it's doubly frightening. I think it's very enjoyable and has the plot and characters that will keep you absorbed.

Very realistically presented.  Present the probable effects of an EMP on various sectors of the community in addition to its effect on the primary characters.  Characters are likable

Although it claims to be based on a true story it is a hypothetical film/novel about Nazi medical experimenter Josef Mengle in Argentine. Having used death and concentration camps as his laboratory, it was believed he fled to South America after the end of the Second World War and was believed to have died in Brazil. There is evidence to support this but not sufficient to state so categorically. This however, does not detract from what is a chilling film about the doctor's intrusion on a German-Argentinian family through their young and small in size daughter. The subterfuge is credible and seductive. The myth of the scientist as detached but God. It is also scary for its portrayal of a German enclave in remote Argentine in the early 1960s. Beautiful cinematography and settings make this film a satisfying watch. Creepy and well acted.

A realistic view of how one would react to unrealistic events.  A character trying to cope with the unbelievable and un explainable while trying to maintain a shred of sanity.  The internal struggles are as interesting as the external foes.  I anxiously await the next episode.

So real and yet so unreal. I cannot imagine teamwork at the level under such difficult conditions. Well done Sea Wolf!

The very believability of this book makes it scary as all get-out. It will really get the reader thinking about our current state of technology.

The writing is engaging, detailed without being boring, and quite readable. Flows beautifully. Characters are believable and one becomes attached to them.

Well done!

Chilling and scary at the same time. You won't be able to put the book down. I look forward to reading other books by this author.

Very engaging tale which seems lifted from tomorrow's headlines.  So realistic it's unsettling.

Jose is a very believable boy, forced to see things he'd rather not see, to cope with a situation adults would shrink from--because there is no one else to turn to and others are depending on him.  A harrowing story--made all the more gripping by the fact that, while the characters are fictional, the background is real.  Terry Trueman does an incredible job of making us feel we are right there.

Chilling, realistic, and entirely plausible. Wake up people. Portable nuclear devices and emp's are the next nightmare for our country.  Great book. Looking forward to the sequel.

On the edge of your seat movie that makes us sad that this is so believable. Based on a true story.

A right fine tale, full of current realism, namely a plane crash and a murder mystery. The two are linked but in a sly way because it is slowly revealed how this could be the case. Our initial drive in reading is to learn something of the lives the aircraft disaster has affected in a direct way. The murder, seemingly senseless in the truest sense of the word -- and wasteful. After all, the victim is a young Support Officer, a natural nurturer where called on. That she would be brutally murdered seems unreasonable. Until we are shown the motivation, which though not exonerating the killer, makes sense at least as ultimately one of  the direct effects of the tragedy born by others who were directly killed by the disaster. While still unseemly, it still makes sense inside the parameters of this story, all so authentic and real.
