Format:Hardcover
In his sequel to the "Balance of Power" James Huston provides a riveting extension of the driven political and military personalities in a complex south seas terrorist/Washington D.C. drama "Price of Power". Although the novel was chock full of military and legal details, Huston avoids the overload that often loses many readers. Instead, he provides a page turning, intriguing read that turns into an edge of seat experience. The sequel can be read separately but is most effective following the initial book. The only disappointment comes when you have to close the cover to depart the plane or hit the sack. I highly recommend it to those that like the legal maneuvering of a Grishom novel or the suspense Clancy provides. Huston puts it all together.

story carries on after the events of balance of power.admiral billings is court martialed for his actions in the first book,attempted impeachment of the president and the terrorist from the prior book returns.james dillon the hero saves the day.
james w huston is a world class author written an exceptional book well written easy to read and a good story.i recommend this book to anybody who like thrillers.
Format:Hardcover
Plot, action and love stories intermingled at a fast pace. Writing skills accelerated, so that Mr. Huston grew as an author before our eyes, developing into Wouk-Michener proportions.
Characters came alive and the dialog sang, so that the absence of explicit sex and four letter words only became noticeable as an afterthought at the conclusion and redigesting of the two books...
James W. Huston will be a writing irresistable force. Can't wait for his next efforts.

What a great follow-up to Huston's first novel. Pardon the cliche, but, I couldn't put it down. Fast-moving, plausible, and a true political thriller that weaves great action... Read more

Don't start reading this book at 10:00pm.
Exciting. Well written. Keeps one riveted to the pages. Was on vacation when I started it and had trouble putting it down. Can't wait to read Huston's other book.

Entertaining - Should make a good movie!!!!!
Kirkus reviews are way to analitical, they have lost the perspective of "Just for Fun". This is an entaining novel that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Read more
