I'm a fan of Coonts and I've tried to like this book. It gets off to a great start and the overall concept is good, but the writing takes an experimental twist that I can't warm up to. The reader...
I bought this to listen to in the car while I drive but have thus far not had a chance to listen to it yet. However, I did check it out to determine if the MP3 format would play in my car, as I...
I have never written a review before but i just had to so others would not feel the same pain. I have read almost all of Coonts other books and bought this with anticipation. What a boring bunch...
This was book was a page turner. Took me 2-1/2 days to complete it, it was the type of read that sucked you into the story. The characters were well developed, and the scenes had an almost "zen"...
This was the first Stephen Coonts book that I have read and maybe I've just been spoiled by reading other, better authors like Tom Clancy, Dale Brown, and Patrick Robinson, but the plotline of this...
Liars and Thieves accomplishes a great deal in the first 150 pages. The action is quick and the story moves along rather well. It deals with a CIA officer that is visiting a relatively secret...
How can we read fiction and know that it can surely be true. There is no doubt that if these things are not happening now we can be assured they will soon. Albeit fiction I surely hope we have...
This was a decent novel, but there just seemed to be too much going on. I actually lost track of all the subplots...two or three Islamic terrorist teams, one U.S. team, the good guys, the love...
There was a time when I enjoyed a Stephen Coonts novels. That time may have been before I read novels by good authors. I'm about one third of the way through Liberty, and I doubt that I will...
From the start Coonts gets your attention. The US Govt. brings a drug lord to America to stand trial. He uses Columbian tactics to be released. Everything from commando teams to an assassin to take...
I have read most of Coonts' books but if I had read this one first I would have stopped completely. This story is so unrealistic is doesn't even merit fantasy. The characters are stilted and...
I have enjoyed Coonts in the past, but this book was really bad. It was dull. The main character was not interesting, but worse- he was only marginally competent. Now I learn there is a series...
I rather enjoyed this book, but perhaps this is because I listened to the abridged version. In this version, some of the transitions are rather confusing, but I could still follow along just fine,...
Steven Coonts writes a highly improbable story about an American covert team (Deep Black) from the National Security Agency gathering data on a new Russian weapon. They fly around in an armed plane...

I won't bother with a synopsis of the book since one exists already so I'll cut to the chase. In a nutshell I thought the plot was confusing, character development weak, and the dialog was poor....
Today techno-thrillers are at the top of the heap and Coonts plus DeFelice pen them with the best. Add a triple threat voice performance by veteran actor J. Charles and you have a reading that'll...

A fine spy novel, and one of Coonts' best. The Grafton series in its beginning were military procedurals, about Grafton's early adventures as a carrier pilot in the Vietnam era. Later installments...
This book came out in 1989. Except that the U.S. Navy no longer flys F-14's, it's based on a storyline that is remarkably comtemporary . . . a rougue Arabic-Islamic despot makes a grab for a...
The final flight even thought I haven't finished it it seem to be a good book about the times of war and the guys who have mission and they explain how life was...

In "Under Siege" (1990) Stephen Coonts tells about a revolution in Cuba. The Cubans are fed up with Fidel Castro and rebel. "Viva Cuba! Cuba Libre!" they chant. "They shot Castro around ten o'clock...
While entertaining, this book is very predictible. There aren't any surprises, so you are left with Coontz's description of events to entertain you. He does a good job describing the action and...
America by Stephen Coonts continues the story of Jake Grafton. In this book, USS America is hijacked by terrorist. There must be traitors within the government in order to pull off a heist like...
Not bad for an abridged audio book. Since the book was abridged the flow of the story was not all it could have been. The reader did a good job with different voices and the sound effects added...

The great American novel this wasn't, but it was still an enjoyable adventure yarn, long on action and short on philosophical ruminations. It was a fun read for those times when you just want to be...
So good-naturedly, doggedly awful I can't savage it with a "Waste of Paper" one-star rating. Cartoonish at every level--plot, dialogue, characters, action.
I once wrote a story entitled "Saucer." Perhaps that's why I read this novel. Coonts' adventure/sci-fi tale was fun and entertaining and the scientific verisimilitude convincing, as far as I could...
Stephen Coonts served in Vietnam as a carrier based fast-jet pilot. Tom Clancy, so legend has it, sold insurance. My point is this: If you want real-time warfare, read Coonts. Without a doubt...
