Narration Concering Books The Fifth Profession

This book started out great, mystery intrigue spying and bodyguard-ing. Then it took a left turn out of interesting into crazy town. Spoiler Alert* Their brains were messed with. So it goes on and on and on Matrix style with is this a dream is this a real memory or is this fabricated. Chapter after chapter as they are chased and chase people. Oh and then all of a sudden the woman who was saved is suddenly and inexplicably in love with our protagonist. Seriously there is hardly any meaningful conversation or emotional exchange and then it is all "I love you" and "I would follow you into hell" it would be way more believable and I would have not sprained my verisimilitude had she just wanted a quickie in the sack. But back to the is it real is it not problem. The author lost me about 3/4th of the way though the book. Perhaps I was not paying attention and speed reading because "oh no is this a dream or not let's chase and be chased" was happening. (never I) but I have no idea WHY the main character and his (Again suddenly and inexplicably BEST-EST friend in the world) had to have the same memory, that happens to happen later in real life? Really? So if any of you careful readers could drop me a line to explain it to me that would be great, because I am sure as heck not going to re-read this.

Critique Appertaining To Books The Fifth Profession
... a fairly light read, but a page-turner. The first half is a somewhat conventional action thriller, with a touch of James Bond gadgetry and world-hopping. The second-half, however, the novel becomes more sinister, turning into a discussion on the nature of memory while also expanding the scope into some commentary on Japan-US relations.The book is written in the late 80's, early 90's when America was captivated by the Japanese resurgence. This is around the same time as the original "Blade

It's been a long time since I've read any David Morrell and I had forgotten what a web of a story he can create. High octane page turning read!! By the time I got to the last few chapters I was just as eager as the protagonists to find out why and how the inexplicable happened. I always enjoy learning about other cultures and this book surprisingly took me there also through one of the MCs -Akira and part of the journey to unraveling a mystery is set in Japan. Savage & Akira are two

This is a dramatic reading of the novel conducted by several excellent voice actors. The novel itself is an entertaining adventure story of two protectors or bodyguards. They've had their minds messed with and they use their skills to solve the mystery of why they were so messed with. It's fairly well written and has a well constructed plot. Not the best thing I've ever read in the genre, but it kept me entertained, and so the five-star rating. By the way, I got this an introductory freebie from

This is the 2nd time I read this book. The first time was way back when I was in college. All I remembered was that I had found the book to be awesome then. Well after hundreds of thrillers later, thousands of life experiences later, a few paradigm shifts in my personal outlook towards life, I enjoyed the book but not THAT much. What I had once labelled as awesome has now fallen back into being a good "One Time Read" page turner.The plot is a bit far-fetched. It starts off in a furious and lucid

This might be the worst book I have ever read. It does have some entertainment value in being the WORST book I have ever read, but not even enough to gain it a half star.Morrell wrote this nearly 30 years ago, inventing computer and medical capabilities that do not exist now, yet alone then. Enter characters and an author obsessed with self disembowelment -- it is mentioned no fewer than seven times -- in the service of some billionaire. But that isn't even the stupid story.It is a story of two

or a moral, but it needs to be bloody, and it needs to be fun. This book is both of those things, and in spades.It is also deeply, and unintentionally, silly.It doesn't seem that way, at first. There's an intro about the importance and glorious history of professional protectors, in both Eastern and Western cultures. Then we get our hero, Savage, starting a new rescue assignment. Then we get a flashback, which starts very well...And ends with a moment so OTT it becomes splat-stick.Back to the

Started out decent but went downhill quickly. Painful to hang in to the end and finish.
