DESCRIPTION:
Those kinds of realizations are pretty scary to me.3. Not so. His first tasks were tograpple with "impossible-to-conceive" scenarios, much like the DefenseDepartment had Tom Clancy consulting on. (I haven't read a best-seller in a long time where Ididn't think, 'that could have lost 100 or 200 pages and been evenbetter.') So, as to novel length, I prefer shorter and less diluted. It chugged and churned and eventually I had the beginning of my plot.Q: How is your book different from every other spy book out there?Let me explain things as I see them.1. Yes,ideas can be scary. I was livingin LA then and had the radio on whenever I was on the road, which wasoften. My villains are basicallynormal people, as in business owners, property owners, or low level FBIagents, who just do horrible things, which makes them more real and farworse, in my opinion. I had an early reader of
It's the hard nose way of handling up-and-coming competition.Hugh can't convince anyone in authority to believe him. He wants vindication.Hugh turns to the people he met at the Merit Group and asks for their help. His construction skills, and his background he doesn't talk about much, attract the interest of a shadowy think tank called the Merit Group. Hugh Brier is an average guy with above-average troubles. He thinks he's clear of all trouble when his day job almost kills him. The apartment building he's spearheading partially collapses while he and his people are inside.When Hugh wakes, he's in the hospital, three of his employees are dead, and the police and prosecutors are eyeing Hugh hard.Hugh's insistence on his innocence seems to make him look more guilty. Hugh has to commit to a year's contract working for them in exchange for a plan to bring about Andrew Pallin's fall.Hugh knows how heavy his current troubles are and signs up. Under the darkest kind of cloud, he begins piecing together the facts of this disaster. They think he's clever and want to hire him, though the terms of his employment are worryingly vague.Hugh manages to tell them 'no' in a way they understand. What's left? Prison, no. He's also pulling strings to ensure Hugh's prosecution. Once he steps into the shadowy world of think tanks and private spies, his real t
James writes offbeat mysteries and appreciates the emails and book reviews you write.. Maybe it was inevitable that he leave rural Montana to study literature in the big city, work briefly in the pie-and-sky world of technology, and get bitten by the writing bug. James Schubring grew up on Willy Wonka, James Bond battling SPECTRE, and Columbo reruns
"Hard to classify high-quality page turner" according to E. Ensley. I have spent some time trying to figure out how to characterize this book. At first I thought it would be best classified as a political thriller, but the central character and organization aren't political, or at least the organization doesn't seem to be. There's also no murder attempts or daring chase scenes. The "action" is almost non-existent. Then I realized the author himself says he writes "offbeat mysteries" which brings to mind "who-dun-its", but in this case we know who dun it; we just don't know what they have done or how. The story is told almost entirely through a series of mental exercise case studies, which sounds really borin. I would have liked to know what happened to Hugh in more detail Beth I received this book in exchange for my honest and fair review.Clarity Hunters is the type of book I can see becoming a movie. My only complaint is that it ended kind of abruptly, I would have liked to know what happened to Hugh in more detail.This is a story of a pretty ordinary guy named Hugh, who makes some decisions in life that cause him to spend some time in prison. When he gets out of prison he just wants to get on with his life and new business. He takes an invitation from The Merit Group, out of curiosity, and his life takes an interesting turn. Think good guys, bad guys and Black Swan theories. I would recommend this book.. I’ll have to read the sequel in order to understand the main plot better. Other than that Dani D I’ve been putting off writing a review for this book for a bit trying to work out what to say about it, because it’s a bit strange. It starts off with a side story and by the time we get the main plot thread that begins to tie everything together the book ends. Course it could be that what I thought was the main plot is actually just a side story in which case the book is too short. I’ll have to read the sequel in order to understand the main plot better.Other than that, I found myself loving the various thought experiments that were introduced throughout the book. There's really just such wonderful creativity flowing throu
