New Review of No Rules Of Engagement

My newest work received three star's from Amy on her blog site, but she openly admits right up front that this was like nothing she had ever read before, and way out of her normal genre that she reads and reviews.

Here is the point, that knowing that going into the situation I would have asked her to not review it, but keep the book and I hope you get some enjoyment out of it.  As it is my overall rating of the book will drop a notch towards an even three.

She also states in her review that one of the characters cuts another characters finger off, which is incorrect.  In fact two different characters break a persons finger.  Still upsetting but it is supposed to be upsetting.  I don't think breaking a finger is quite as bad as cutting a finger off. 

In the immortal words of Donald Trump, "Even bad press is press!"  So I am putting the link to her site so my readers can read what Amy has to say about my book.

It isn't a bad review, but I think she may have rushed through it, didn't get the point, or had trouble getting into the story.  As I said earlier, we all roll the dice when we go this route for reviews of our books.

Newest Review of No Rules Of Engagement!!

Review

Overall Feedback: Unbelievably well written story. This is a hold on to your seat, rampant ride into space military action. The action is non stop and Thomas has really done well to grab a hold of the reader and not let go until the last page. 

Point of View: You will be following young Hawk as he realizes was he is born to do.

Voice: It seems to me this is more about realizing the truth of yourself rather than the truth people choose to see in you.

Character Development: You will get a real feel for the main character. I do think that the supporting characters could have used a little more polish.

Plot: Twisting turning action packed space military adventure. Need I say more.

Dialogue: Believable and natural.

Pacing: The writer will run away with your imagination leaving your heart racing and you breathless.

Setting: Perfect and adds to the imaginary real to this story.

Continuity: A couple issue in the beginning but nothing that will keep you from enjoying a great story.
