Not all conspiracies are created equal.
 
Some are true.
 
Albert Ross, a cowardly bureaucrat stationed in a muggy backwater, spends his days smoking, boozing, and overeating until fate plunges him into the role of reluctant hero. In this fast-paced thriller, the reader is transported into the jungles of Panama, through the hills of Pakistan, and down the corridors of Langley.
 
Is the new world order linked to the Colombian cocaine fields and the war on terror?
 
Will an unlikeable slob save the world from hidden masters and corruption at the highest levels of government?
 
If you love L.T. Ryan, Michael Crumley, Daniel Silva, and A.G. Riddle, you'll be turning pages as fast as you can until the shocking conclusion of this roller-coaster adventure.

1,0 su 5 stelle Boring! One star is man excessiVe rating.

A poorly written and very confusing book. Problems (eg. Eating bad food) are brought up over and over,maps iF the reader didn't get it initially. This is a well- known technique termed "filler repeats". I gave up half way thru and will Never read anything by this author again.

5,0 su 5 stelle A thrilling page turner
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 14 febbraio 2014

Brilliant Author. Up to Blakes usual thrilling standard and questioning of political events and theories. Full of action and questionable conspiracy by US Government Agencies. A cracking read. Difficult to stop reading this book once started.
Also loved the colourful descriptive writing of life (& death) in South America.
Slowly going through all his works and can't wait to get started on the next one.

5,0 su 5 stelle Great Trip: From The Geronimo Breach to The Voynich Cypher
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 26 marzo 2012
Acquisto verificato
That's exactly how I did it---I read The Geronimo Breach, and it was so damn good, I went right to Blake's The Voynich Cypher, which, btw, I can't put down.

But back to The Geronimo Breach. Russell Blake writes a great `Loser as Wow: Possible Winner?' character in Al Ross. This guy is so going to seed there's no way out of the Panamanian jungle he's got himself stuck in unless he uses the desperados who are trying to kill him as tour guides. But why use killers when you can use a donkey? That's the kind of guy Al is. His dopey brilliance, his dulled as a marble conscience together with his sharp as a razor instinct are all he needs. Well...that and the gorgeous, exotic lady who got away.

Others have covered the storyline, so let me just say, with not a single reservation: Russell Blake is one helluva good writer who keeps those pages turning and that laugh-out-loud sense of humor intact to the very end. Blake's hero sneaks up on you with his split-second-too-late or just-in-the-nick-of-time awareness, and that's what keeps the tension up, the characters real and the plot compelling. Blake tells a good story, and he tells it in a way a reader will enjoy.

And something else--this is one author who knows what he's talking about. Panama, Columbia and the banditos (from North and South America...ahem) who run governments and programs, drugs and guns and all other kind of contraband are so true-to-life in The Geronimo Breach, I kept feeling as though I should duck and run for cover. Blake's precision with pacing and dialog carry the plot along a taut momentum continuum that moves you over terrain Al will surely not survive, and then pauses just long enough to let Al fall down in a grunting heap and you catch your breath. Every beat makes sense to the storyline---there's no gratuitous shoot-em-up just so it can be called a thriller. Not this writer. He's too good for that. He's a smart writer.

As you read along, you are positive that the hero is a dead-man walking and a loser at love, to boot. Worse, you find yourself wishing he could give himself a break. And then, just when you think something good might come of it all--well, let's just say if anything good happens, it would not be by virtue of any credit whatsoever to Albert Ross, biggest dope you hate to love.

Russell Blake is a star in the making, and his books are headed for the silver screen. Why do I say that? Two words: Albert Ross. OK, three words: The Geronimo Breach.

There is good and bad to the book. Its a solid 3.5 on Bob's scale of books, and gets a four from me because I got it for free. A pretty good premise and a throughly disreputable main character that I ended up rooting for made it worth reading for me.

Some of the early passages are just bizarre. I almost gave up on the book after the first few pages of really bad writing. It seemed like the author was going for lots of big words and impressive phrasing. It did not work. It almost convinced me to give up on the book early on, and I would have missed out on a book that while it has a lot of flaws, one that I enjoyed reading. This is a fairly typical passage.

The incoming fire escalated to a hail of screaming death. Rifle ammo depleted, they un-holstered their army-issue Beretta pistols and fired intermittently in the direction of their attackers, to no obvious effect. They exchanged panicked looks - this wasn't supposed to happen; just a routine patrol in a secure area with no reason to expect hostiles, much less heavily-armed ones intent on slaughtering them. It was supposed to be a cakewalk.

Just painful to read. However, fortunately the author stopped with the flowery and goofy prose after a few pages and mostly started telling the story, and the style change improved the story dramatically. Most of the rest of the book does not exhibit this flaw, although now and then it sneaks in.

The characters are often stereotypical. And there are lots of technical mistakes (like giving a Glock a safety).

The basic premise of the story is that a boozing and all but broken down low level US diplomat stumbles across a video camera that has video on it depicting something that the story claimed would bring the US government to its knees. The story eventually reveals what is on the tape. Pretty tame, and something most Americans would not care all that much about, as most of us understand that subterfuge and dishonesty is a necessary part of intelligence and black operations. That was a major disappointment in the book for me.

There are also some poorly orchestrated action scenes, and some way over the top things that go on.

But I rate books on whether I enjoyed reading them, and I did enjoy it, warts and all.

4,0 su 5 stelle Fast paced and funny.
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 26 settembre 2012

I read this book some months ago and loved it. It was nothing like I thought - the description was, `fast paced action...'. There are moments of galloping pace in the book and there are times when it slows down and you get to know the characters.

I loved the lead guy. It took a while to get to know him. At the start of the book I found him annoying, but as the book went on our `anti hero' was a real asset to the story. It takes a long time to understand why he is the way that he is and learning more about him adds a lot of believability and plausibility to him.

The action is indeed fast and furious. There are some twists and turns along the way to keep you turning the pages and the unpredictable way the author deals with some of his characters means you can never guess what will happen to them.

So, what's the story about? Well, you have to read right up to the very end to find out. I never guessed it, although I'm sure some did, and when I put the book down it was enough to make me stop and think. It could almost be true...
