5.0 out of 5 stars Great characters, great chase, 27 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Skins of Dead Men (Hardcover)
Dean Ing returns to the style he does so well: a young, beautiful, independent woman, almost masculine in her strength; a strong-willed man of good character who wins her affections, and a young boy in peril.

The book races through Mexico and the U.S. Southwest as TC attempts to elude a gang of murderers and would-be kidnappers. The long and thrilling chase reminds me of The Pelican Brief, and I only hope this books finds as many readers.

3.0 out of 5 stars A fun read that drags in places, 18 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Skins of Dead Men (Hardcover)
The plot outline is covered well enough in the reviews above. This is a fun read, but not nearly as high-tech as claimed. The "high-tech" portion amounts to well-postioned spies being able to capture Visa purchases to track the movement of the heroine, T.C. and her charge. Ross McDonald, her good friend, has been badly burned in the same accident that killed T.C.'s son. His numerous skin grafts have caused him much grief, especially when he takes the accompanying medication, when he is then able to pick up the thoughts of the dead men whose skin he now wears. There is no further explanation and it fits vaguely into the plot, which suffers in the last half with a severe case of drag as the rather rag-tag group of protagonists attempt to martial their resources. It ultimately heats up again. The bad guys are certainly really bad, but one is hard pressed to say the same of their mission. In the end, it's really a toss-up on whether justice was served. If you like a simplistic thriller that pushes all the right buttons, then this works fine. If you think of ethical overtones, it is disturbing.
