I posted a hell of a review to Amazon.com, submitted it on July 3rd, and it still hasn't come up yet. I'll try to "recreate the brilliance" ;) if the review doesn't show up by the end of this week.

Thanks SO MUCH! I don't know why some reviews don't show up there.

I have had a good 10-12 people tell me they have posted reviews and not had them show up. Email them and ask.

I have no idea what criteria they use in deciding ... if there is any. It could just be that they don't have enough people to review them all. It certainly isn't an automatic thing, I can understand that ... otherwise they could get some pretty nasty stuff out there and then authors would quit using, etc.

Anyhow, thanks for the efforts! I look forward to your "brillance" shining out there sooner or later.

I'm REALLY glad to have Vol. II out now and in the "system".

FRegards

Whoa! What a review you posted on Amazon!! Pardon me if I share with some others.

Man oh man, that review took my breath away ... and I wrote the book you are talking about! Made me want to read it myself again! LOL!

Here it is, and they have it up on all of the pages (Printed and both eBooks):

At the outset, let me say that I am not normally a fan of the political intrigue novel. I usually read horror fiction, but made an exception for this book because the excerpts I had read on the internet hooked me. Breath of Fire is every bit as intriguing as the techno-military parts of Stephen King's "The Stand", where the biological warfare agent gets loose, and world societies begin to unravel.

I DEVOURED this book in two days, taking only that long because of work and family commitments.

I have often believed that if America ever does fail, it will be because of our own short attention span. We set up technology transfers for our enemies, our politically correct society urges immigrants and ethnic groups to retain their culture, politics, languages, etc, rather than becoming Americans. We eschew God and morality and patriotism. Even after the cruel bucket of cold water the US got thrown in its' face on 9/11, we have already started to forget why we were mad, and get back to life as usual.

Jeff's book is all about this and more. It is about an America that had forgotten it had enemies, and realized too late(??) that those enemies had not been slack in their efforts to bring her down. If the scenes of paratroopers landing on American soil in the motion picture "Red Dawn" made you uneasy, this book will keep you awake all night. If the images painted in the novel "Warday" of nuclear devastation caused by a surprise attack on America disturbed you, Breath of Fire will have you putting nitro pills under your tongue.

The last 100 pages of this book are paced like the Concorde, and the American Eagle was well entangled in her enemy's nets, and bleeding by the segue into volume II.

Jeff's book will get into your head and you'll find yourself asking, although it is fiction, "Hey, didn't I hear something on the news about that??" It is THAT real.

Breath of Fire is every bit as addicting as Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and BOTH will hit you in the gut.
