Summary: Dubrul slippage
Comment: Jack Dubrul's latest Philip Mercer adventure Deep Fire Rising shows some plot slippage analogous to his earhquake causing fault lines. In his latest novel Dubrul interjects far too much religious mysticism and romance into his usual scientifically based thrillers.
Mercer, a mining engineer/secret agent is once again recruited by deputy national security advisor Admiral Ira Lasko for a clandestine project based in the heavily guarded Area 51. Experimentation in the creation of a Star Trek-like transporter requires Mercer's subterranean mining expertise. This secret enterprise has created a seismic disturbance without the apparent occurrence of a volcano or earthquake. This anomaly comes to the attention of a group called the Order.
The Order is a reclusive group of Tibetan monks who monitor cataclysmic geologic events and are capable of predicting future disasters. A radical offshoot of the Order headed by young megalomaniac Luc Nyugen is bent on using its power for world domination and eventually butts heads with Mercer.
Nyugen's stunning and sensual sister, Tisa joins forces with Mercer to thwart her brothers murderous ambitions and becomes his love interest.
The plot briskly moves on as Mercer strives to save the world from destruction.
Dubrul, in his forward acknowledges that he strays from his normal format and requests reader feedback. I'm going to e-mail him to tell him to go back to previous successful style.

Summary: Fantastic story from a master of adventure
Comment: I love all of the Mercer books. This one is no exception. I was hesitant to start it because there were several people that said they hated the ending. I thought the ending was near perfect. I'll be interested to see what changes are coming for Mercer. I am now eagerly awaiting the next installment which is supposedly due next year....seems like a LONG wait. But, if Du Brul's history holds, it will be well worth the wait.

Summary: Tired of Clancy & Cussler?
Comment: Tired of the same old plots with the same old characters? Well, my friends Phillip Mercer is the perfect fix for all us action/thriller junkies. Mercer has taken over! More over Jack Ryan, Dirk Pitt, and Kurt Austin! There's a new hero on the block! He's kicking tail and taking names. Once again Jack DuBrul has raised the bar, kicked it into high gear, and let it all hang out. Enjoyed every page!! Keep 'em coming Jack!
