Fast paced action
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
The book was written in a easy to follow fast paced action novel. It's not complicated. It's just a fun read. The suspense is good, the action well packed. The concept of a prison break out of this extreme, is of course, fictional, but that is what a fictional book is all about. To entertain us. Not to convince us it could really happen. I really enjoyed this book and the simplistic writing style of Peter Collinson. I look forward to his next book.
first class suspense thriller
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
The small town of Gilchrist in the green hills of Vermont was dying until the townsfolk invited the federal government to build a prison there. The 312 unit Administrative Maximum Penitentiary houses the most hardened prisoners men who have no hope of release, parole or escape. The revenues brought in by the existence of the prison allowed the town to grow and prosper.After years of solitary confinement, the prisoners revolt and take control of the prison. With the help of loyal ex-cons, the prisoners escape and next take over the town, threatening to release a deadly toxin into two different communities if any counter offensive is attempted. It is up to the people trapped within the town to do what the federal government is helpless to do: seize back their community. Peter Collinson, a pseudonym for famous thriller writer Chuck Hogan, has written a first class novel of suspense. The thrill of seeing ordinary men and women fight for their freedom will send a patriotic shiver up the spine of the audience. The Northeast kingdom is a top of the line reading experience.Harriet Klausner
