Rick Friedman's Review of 'Intrepid - The Two Storms'

Check out this review of my novel 'Intrepid - The Two Storms', by Rick Friedman of Goodreads;

'As is often the case with debut writers, the reader is often hesitant when he/she reads the second book in a series. The old "Sophmore Jinx" is a common fear. I am happy to report that this is CERTAINLY NOT the case with The Two Storms (Intrepid #2), master writer Steve Stone's follow-up to his brilliant first sci-fi/thriller Intrepid.

'The Two Storms (Intrepid #2) is like reuniting with old friends, Colonel Lance Tucker and Gen. Jack Nelson are back, and a wonderful welcome to them! Combining two genres, thriller and sci-fi perfectly, is the sign of a superb writer, and Mr. Stone is most definitely that.

'All the excitement, thrills, plots and extremely well drawn characters from Intrepid #1 are - if possible - even more refined in this second book. I was taken from the very first page, and the action, twists and intrigue did not let up until I read the very last word.

'In creating a villain such as "The Chinaman", a ruthless yet far from stereotypical assassin, Mr Stone has once again shown that he has the ability to fine tune his villains as well as his heroes. It is very easy to make a "bad guy" bad, but to go far deeper into such a character as to make him so very complex is a testament to Mr. Stone's writing acumen. This is a villain the reader will not soon forget!

'The plot, which includes time-travel, with the goal of preventing an assassination - as well as all the sub-plots and myriad of twists and turns are so deftly handled that the many parts of this most unique of books come together to form a very satisfying whole. As this is the 2nd book in a (so far) projected four book series - the only negative thing I can say is that I will now have to wait to read the third instalment! This series is THAT GOOD!'

Review of 'Intrepid - The Two Storms', by S.J.Wist (Fantasy Cookie).

Check out the review of my novel 'Intrepid - The Two Storms', by Fantasy Cookie's S.J. Wist;

'The stages for The Two Storms are set. One is a political one when the Russian and American Presidents are shot, the other is a devastating hurricane.

'As with reading any sequel I always set the bar higher, and for this one I wasn't disappointed. The characters all fall into place and are easy to keep up with. Confronting a hurricane with a neutron bomb from a B-2 Spirit gets serious cool points as well. Going against mother nature comes with an awesome sense of class this round. But first the Intrepid crew will have to survive another attempt at time travel to get behind the storms with enough time in their hands to prevent them.

'After that, saving the world from a Cold War comes down to taking on street gangs to get to bottom of who The Chinaman is, and just as importantly, who he is working for. I was left right up to the very end trying to figure out the mysteries of identities here. I will read on to Intrepid - Revelations.'

My car radio nightmare.....

I thought I would share this funny personal story with you, that has a weird connection with my novels;

A couple of months or so ago, I finished writing 'Intrepid - The Two Storms', the second novel in my four-book series. Amongst other challenges, my protagonist Commander Lance Tucker has just twelve minutes to solve a riddle and obtain a four-figure code, or face certain death.

Just after the novel was released, I took my Rover 75 Classic to the garage for its British M.O.T. test. During the test, they disconnected the battery for safety reasons, thereby cutting power to the car radio. To hear the radio again, I had to input a four-figure code - but have lost the piece of paper the code is written on.

I'm currently trying to remember the code, and have had many attempts at inputting it. I know the code has a 4 and a 1 in it, but can't remember the position of these figures, or which way round they were.

Isn't it weird that I now face the same challenge as my protagonist? No riddle to solve, of course, or certain death outcome, and I have a lot more than twelve minutes to find the right code....

Review of 'Intrepid', by S.J. Wist (Fantasy Cookie).

Check out the great review of my novel 'Intrepid', by Fantasy Cookie's S.J. Wist;

'If you ever dreamed about being an astronaut and seeing the stars, in 2017, Intrepid is the space shuttle to take you there.  But when Lance and his crew inadvertently become part of the reason for a devastating nuclear war on Earth, there stands one chance for Intrepid to set things straight and save a lot of lives.  It includes time travel, but it's not going to be easy and the cost of what they will have to sacrifice is set high.

'Steve Stone adds a vivid touch to detail in this story and real characters you want to follow. He brings this ride right along speculative fiction, making you feel as if you're right there and a part of the thrill of it all.  Lance will do what is necessary against the weight of his conscience, while keeping hold of it as well.  With the help of the teenager James, both will keep you emotionally bound to the humanity of it all. Even as their mission is ultimately turned into that of playing god to save a lot of people.

'The second book, Intrepid - The Two Storms, looks to be an equally good read that I will be looking into in the near future.'
