Format:Paperback
I bought Snowblind after reading a portion of one of the chapters in a "Rebel Inc" sampler. The story is gripping, you want to know exactly what Swan will do next to expidite his smuggling activities and the intricate nature of his schemes don't disappoint. There are lots of characters introduced, some of whome leave the scope of the book quickly, others are there right til the end ... all are essential by their relation to each other. I love it -- the first time I read it, I got to the end, and turned right back to page 1, it was simply that good. I'd give it 6 stars, if I could.

Format:Hardcover
This book is simply impossible to put down. Sabaag writes with a very sharp but dry wit that enhances the tale to perfection. Quite simply the best book I have read in years. Whatever your opinion is on drug smuggling etc, take time to read this book.

Format:Hardcover
The story seems simple; a drug smuggler on the loose doing what he does best and how he gets away with it. Snowblind writer Sabbag takes one mans adventures into the drug trade and traces the line of biography like no other. This is the only book on the crime & Cocaine business that you'll ever need to read. Faster than the rest, smarter than the best, an utterly truly fantastic read.

Old & out of date
I was looking forward to reading this, but I found it a really hard read & quite boring. The events take place in the seventies, and don't give a realistic picture of the cocaine... Read more

Interesting, But Dated
I enjoyed this book, but it was a slow read. I thought it was interesting how Swan smuggled in the 70's, but I'm sure none of these techniques would work today--if for no other... Read more
