Summary: Keep writing, Steve!
Comment: Many authors research their subjects. A select few, including Steven L. Herman, *know* their subjects. He is a journalist with extensive work and travel experience in Asia. The adventures of his protagonist are thus true to life, and yet the surprising twist of fate which befalls Lewis Cody shows the reader that Mr. Herman is a truly versatile author -- a journalist who knows his venue, and a compelling storyteller as well.

Summary: Great Book! Thoroughly Enjoyable!
Comment: I have just had the pleasure of reading "Last Assignment" by Steven Herman. I found it to be worlds above the usual, run-of-the-mill novels that seem to be currently flooding the market.

It's a bit unusual in some aspects, but I felt this actually added to its charms. I admit this is probably a bit of a "guy's book" but I found it extremely entertaining anyway.

I suppose I ought to explain what I meant by a "bit unusual." The author writes in an engaging first-person viewpoint, as though he is telling the story to you directly. I personally found that to be a bit unusual, since I tend to like third-person narrators a bit better. In spite of my personal preferences, I found myself enjoying the narrator's voice nonetheless. In retrospect, as I said, this actually added to the book's appeal.

Also, the book is a unique combination of an overriding plot along with smaller, "mini-plots." This, too, was unique and actually made the book more like real-life.

In the middle of reading this--because the author and publisher claim the book was based on real-life events--I checked on the web for some places where the story supposedly took place, and they really are actual places. I thought that was pretty cool, especially since he writes about some really out-of-the-way places. I felt like the author really knew what he was talking about and you could tell he's actually lived in the places he writes about.

Anyway, a great book! I'd highly recommend it to anyone!
