Customer Reviews

Simply Fantastic! What else can I say?

This is what I want a thriller and mystery should be. The twist of the plot never loosen up and as heavy as the 10-ton gold bars Broker digged up. If you enjoy this one, just grap C.L.'s new 1998 creation: "The Big Law" and you won't be disappointed.

Tightly written, intrigue with complex characters.

I read, at least, five books a week and once in a while, buy one I've read before. This was the case with Chuck Logan's, "The Price of Blood." I must admit, I was delighted to find I enjoyed it even more the second time around. The beautifully fleshed out characters, the plot and search for hidden treasure, the contrast between brutality and compassion, along with subtle, but titalating love scenes can do nothing but cause you to turn pages with a longing for more. The ending is up for grabs until the last page and makes you hunger for his next book.

WOW!!!

I had a hard time getting through HUNTER'S MOON, but I knew Chuck Logan had to have a good book in him, and believe me, this is definitely a good book. The story is thrilling, the characters are believable, and the ending is top notch. Way to go, Chuck Logan. Now that you've figured out how to write a great book, let's have more.

Adventure, Gold, Love, what else do you want?

This is an excellent adventure/thriller. Logan has crafted a story that is exciting as any I have read. Excellent character development and a surprise end to the story. I recommend this book to all adventure lovers.

Top-notch thriller.

Where has Chuck Logan been? This is a highly recommended, top-notch thriller. This book is like James Crumley in Vietnam instead of the West
