For PANIC: 'PANIC is a ride down the roaring rapids.

Format:Paperback
Miles Kendrick, an ex-private investigator who is now in a witness protection program, is undergoing treatment for PTSD. He believes he killed his best friend, Andy, and is being helped through the ordeal by Allison, a psychiatrist. She then dies in a bomb-blast and attention turns to a conspiracy involving the discovery of a potentially new drug called "Frost", which is thought to offer assistance to PTSD sufferers.
So Miles tries to find out what is really going on while at the same time trying to deal with his issues, including Andy speaking to him all the time.
There are good and bad guys all over the place and it is not difficult to become confused by who is doing what as the body count increases - and not a policeman to be seen anywhere! All does move forward at "breakneck" speed, however, as the book cover suggests. And there is a twist.
Abbott has taken a lot of licence in creating the story, but he does highlight a rather important medical issue in the process. The book was just too much of an "over the top" chase for my liking though. 7/10

Having started with PANIC, I have since not been able to get enough of all his titles, although there have been differences when reading his Poteet mysteries, I have found every single one to be gripping to the end, this is the only author that I have not skipped a few pages here and there.
I now find myself on the eight book with 100 pages to go, I am now in panic mode as I have to wait until July 08 for the next one!! I can't wait.

Fear is an ok book, but it feels it has a few missing chapters in parts especially towards the end.
I have given it 4 stars because it is good and its better then 3.5 stars but not 5 by no means. It is a book you can put down and come back to in a few weeks, or read in partnership with a few others.
Should you buy it, maybe in a sale otherwise go the library.
It's not as good as panic.

Not good ...
I read both Panic & Fear, they both are a little irritating, too many characters in Fear, the story is confusing all the way through. Read more

Not bad at all
This for me was a book purchased to waste a few hours on a training journey. But to my shock once you've got through a very slow start, It wasn't a poor read at all. Read more

Action thriller with a twist
I suspect Mr Abbot has always been a solid and inventive author, but improved marketing is now bringing him to greater public attention. Read more
