4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant plot, will grab and hold your attention throughout, 23 May 1999
By A Customer
As a Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts, Larry Bond & Dale Brown fan; Richard Doyle had strong competition if he was to impress me. He DID ! It's a great novel, I have been recommending this title since I was half way through it.

5.0 out of 5 stars BREATHTAKING, 24 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Executive Action (Hardcover)
I read this right through in a day. It is tense and exciting and really gripped me. The plot is highly original and the pace never lets up from the start. I particularly liked the character of the President's secretary and the way her conflict of loyalties was presented. Also the difficulties faced by the Secret Service in trying to prove who was the real president were very realistic. The author has done a terrific job on his research, I felt like I was living in the White House by the end. In fact the place almost takes on a character of its own in the book. I bet there are hundreds of us with doubles out there in the world just like the author suggests. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great thriller!, 8 Mar 2000
By A Customer
This book looks intimidating because of the number of pages, but it is a fast and riveting read. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. You'd never guess that the author is not American.
