Cold Weather Review

I am a fan of Alistair MacLean; however, this book is average at best. The cliché of Texas oilman and Americans in general is readily available in this tale. The story could have been above average when drawn in with better narration. The fake “Southern Drawl” is only surpassed in audible agony by the “Northern” accent used throughout. Timing and cadence were either off, or poor editing is the culprit for this disaster.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
