Query: For an escape from reality. . .

I've never read a novel by this author so I can't compare this book with his other novels.BLOWBACK is a fast-pace and entertaining novel. The author did his background homework, but there are times when the scenario wasn't very believable. You really have to let your imgaination run wild to really enjoy and accept this book as plausible (similar to the "Da Vinci Code"). Nevertheless, it's a good summertime beach book.
