Reviews
“This book moves fast and doesn’t let go. It contains a mixture of missions — surveillance and rescue — that converge in a the tense climax. The action and peril here are always close. Even in what seem to be restful moments, the action is only a few pages away.”
“Buy this book. Read this book. Tell other people about this book. It’s good..”
Diary of a Hippie:
“Most books about medical procedures are written by doctors or other health care professionals. It’s always fascinating to hear the patient’s perspective. The book contains a lot of good information and can be very helpful for other patients considering hip replacement or scheduled for the procedure.”
