The Hidden in Plain sight series enjoys the benefit of Andrew Thomas insights into physics, and his easy to read common sense manner of writing.

Michael Thomas series is well written and was a pleasure to read. Spartan and Khan along with the rest of the cast makes good reading.

In his excellent style, Turow has given yet another great story in the Kindle County series.  Well worth your time.

This continuation of the Jess Williams series is another very enjoyable western novel by Robert J. Thomas.  I feel that this was well worth the purchase price.

Will Thomas puts together a winner in "To Kingdom Come", a mystery/detective novel set in the late 1800's in Victorian England.  The narrator of the story, Thomas Llewelyn, is a young Welshman apprenticed to Cyrus Barker, a "private enquiry agent" (a private detective) in London.  In broad outline, the story focuses on the efforts of Barker and Llewelyn to stop a group of Irish terrorists from blowing up half of London in order to win independence for their homeland.  Barker and Llewelyn, posing as experts in creating "infernal devices", infiltrate the group and the fun starts from there.  I'm not going to go into too much more detail, because I don't want to ruin the story.

Instead, I'll tell you why you should buy this book.  First, some authors just "get it", and Thomas is one of those people.  This is a tightly written story, with very little wasted effort.  Thomas doles out details only in measured amounts, which keeps the reader interested and wanting more.  For example, Llewelyn knows general facts about his employer Barker, but only learns specific details as the reader does, by seeing Barker in action.  Thus, Thomas adroitly has the reader guessing as to what will happen next or, more appropriately, "how in the heck are they going to get out of THIS jam?"  Although Llewelyn wants to trust his mentor, he has the uneasy feeling (as do we) that Barker would sacrifice the young man if it meant reaching the objective.  This creates great tension in the story.

Second, the background detail provided by Thomas sets a convincing scene and mood.  Some authors think that they can create a period piece by simply setting modern-day characters with modern-day sensibilities in a different era.  That doesn't work.  As Thomas shows, period pieces work by having the characters act, talk and think as characters would at the time.  For example, Victorian England was a very class-oriented era.  Although we don't know that Barker was a "gentleman born", he acts like a gentleman in the story, even to the point of refusing to eat with someone who Barker finds unsavory.  Further, Baker will not tolerate Llewelyn acting in any less a manner.  Although not as complete, Thomas's vision on London reminded me of Caleb Carr's 1800's New York in "The Alienist".

Finally, "To Kingdom Come" is just a good read.  A great opening scene, lots of action, interesting characters, seductive beauties and literally a bang-up ending.  While some might wish to compare Barker and Llewelyn to Sherlock Holmes (and Barker's name would seem to be a tip of the hat to Holmes' 221B Baker Street address), there is more mystery and fallability to Baker than there was to Holmes, Holmes' morphine addiction notwithstanding.  Baker is a dangerous man with a mysterious past and even more mysterious present habits, such as the locked rooms in his office and the identity of the woman he disappears to see from time to time.  But he is much more expressive in emotion than Holmes, and, thus, more "complete" a character, at least to this point.  But by not shotgunning everything out about Barker in this or in his first book with these characters ("Some Danger Involved"), Thomas has left himself wide open for many more adventures with Baker and Llewelyn.  Enjoy!

I have read all of the Thomas Kelly's books and except for Empire Rising (which was a slow read), all of them including Payback have been great. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a taste of what living and working construction in NY is like. Plots are good; characters are fleshed out well; and the ending is nice.

Andrew Grey is one of my favorite authors. The depth of his storytelling, his range of topics are amazing.  I anxiously await his next book.

I enjoyed this latest work by Dan Brown.  As usual he thoroughly researched his topic and wrapped that into a good story. It kept me interested throughout.

I very much enjoy Thom's writing. I bought his first book, No Flesh Shall Be Spared, and I enjoyed it immensely. I'm glad he's continuing to write and i enjoyed this, too.

A good read. Haven't read much of his work, but enjoyed this from the start. I though the ending was a bit predictable, but all round was pretty good.  Kept me interested all the way

I enjoyed being able to be united with  some of the characters from the previous series.  It was a very enjoyable read and I look forward to learning more about James Thomas's past.  This story  is a tasty mix of real life and wanting happily ever after.

another fantastic novel by Thomas...  He is one of only a few writers that I try to dread everything that he writes.

It is good to see more story plot than sex details in his latest books. I enjoyed the story line and revisiting some of the old characters from previous books. Good read.

I'm a big fan of the Thomas Covenant books and this one is as good as the others. I don't know what I'll do when this series is done!

I'd read another Chris Collett book and really enjoyed it.  This one was excellent as well.  I enjoyed the serial nature of the Tom Mariner based books.  The UK backdrop is interesting as well.

I really like the Odd Thomas series so far. He is compelling and I have enjoyed watching him grow as a person
