A Craving for Blood

 (3 customer reviews)

I don't read much militry sci fi - but this one kept me hooked from the start! The way it's written made me feel like I couldn't wait to see what happened next. From the mech warriors to the assassins - I could "see , think and feel" with the characters- understand why they were doing what they did. I wanted to be in the middle of the action!

The book hooked me immediately. This, even though I felt that the characters and story line could have been filled out a little more. There was so much going on, that this book could have easily have been 100 pages longer and should be part of a trilogy. But this attests to the enjoyment of the book. Fast and fun to read. Lastly, I felt that the writing style became better towards the end of the book, more descriptive and colorful. But this could also be, because the story line changed more into a descriptive battle mode, a topic which Mr. Walker seems to excel at.

As a First Cavalry Soldier in a mechanized unit, I truly appreciated the book. I was hooked by the story and the characters, and found it very easy to relate to it.

It has very good twists and turns, and is a smashing good read. I do like the mashing of Science Fiction, with the modern tactics of tank battles. The characters were well rounded, making you care about what happened to them. Good prose on the writer's style.I only hope the Author continues to write, as I look forward to more of his books.
