You are reading Vertical Run, a lightning paced non stop action thriller from Joseph Garber.



If you love books with an excellent villians, and awesome, MacGuyver inventions, then Mr./Mrs. this is the book for you.

How there is a lot of action in such a small book. It plays out like a Die Hard movie, but that is the only comparison you can make, for this is on it's own level.

The reason for wanting him dead, it seemed a bit strange. The ending could have been a bit more fleshed out.

Go out and give it to anyone I knew would read it.

All pumped up with adrenaline

Joseph R. Garber



He sure does know action and it shows in his writing.

It is an amazing read and I think that they should make a movie!! You hear me Hollywood...MAKE THIS A MOVIE!!!!!

There is a few flashbacks to Nam' but they are well done and integral to the story without taking you away from the action.

You should also check out the audio book, it is even better then the book.
