Have you read “The Protector” by David Morrell?

This book came out in 2004 at the height of the Booming Economy and smoking Real Estate Market. I bought the book as being a long time fan of David Morrell, started reading it and then discovered that after page 118 the book jumped to page 183. The publisher and the quality control were sleeping at the wheels. Since I was a long time fan and a book collector I did not see a big problem and immediately ordered another book with the all the pages.

Then life came into play, so with that said I just finally got to read this book. I loved it; it was such a page turner I cannot even tell you which other book of David Morrells’ I could compare it to. He did not disappoint me one bit. This was such a fast paced action book, that if I did not have to work and try to generate clients and keep Escrows in Escrow I would have stayed up all weekend to read it.

The Protector by David Morrell

If you have never read anything by him or cannot recognize the name, then think of “ Rambo”,” First Blood”, “Covenant of the Rose” I could go on and on. One of my all time favorite was Double Image. This is truly a fun and fast read.

If I was not a Realtor who is trying to keep Escrows in place and market listings and answer questions about all my listing, then I would have stayed up (like in the good old days) and read it from start to finish over the weekend. It is truly a page turner. Now with that said, this is not for everyone, if you prefer slow paced romance books that have no message, and then this is not for you. If you like action, romance, plausible “this is probably a true story camouflaged as a mystery” than this book is for you.

Endre, I have heard of "Rambo". I prefer less action, but I am considering reading a war book by a writer I admire that has lots of action in it. When I get to it, I'll let you know. I like your book review, great idea for a blog post!

I haven't heard of it but your description is intriguing.  I don't really like sweet and sappy, prefer books that make me think. Thanks for the recommendation Endre!

Thanks for the recommendation Endre! I will check it out! I am listening to Noam Chomsky's Failed States right now on Audible and just finished Overthrow by Stephen Kinzer. I would recommend both!!!

Thanks Endre, I love good mysteries that keep my attention. Don't recall having heard of David Morrell.  Sometimes you get stuck on one author or another and if it's a good writer I can really immerse myself and read through a good book in one weekend no problem!
