5,0 su 5 stelle Absolutely Fantastic!

Patience County War is a story you don't want to miss!

The small town of Patience, MO is a quiet rural town where everyone knows everyone else. Small town America.

Sam Trunce is the Sheriff. He's a retired Detroit Detective and a former special forces soldier. His best friend, Nathan, is a 7 foot something, 500 pound Masai Warrior. The proprietor of the local french cafe is a former French Underground assassin who slices and dices more than just her French cuisine. Sam's dad is a former Army Colonel who fought in three wars. His best friend, Cecil is a former RAF fighter ace.

Members of a Mexican drug cartel decide to start selling meth in Patience. As you can imagine, this turns out to be a really bad decision because, there is NO crime in Patience!

The characters are full and dynamic. The action is non-stop. The storyline is 'Walking Tall' on steroids. I haven't had this much fun reading an action novel in a LONG, LONG time!

Buy it. Read it. Enjoy it.

Patience County War is a well written sort of book you'd normally take to the beach or the cottage. Taken as such, it is a decent enough book. Unfortunately for me,I found it too unbelievable to give it a higher rating.

Most obviously, there is the time frame problem. The main character's father, John, served in WW2, Korea and Vietnam. Cecil, the pilot, served in the 1940 Battle of Britain. That would have been OK if the story was set in the 1980s or, at the latest, the early 1990s, but not in the era of cell phones. The idea that 80+ year old men, no matter how strong their military background was, could act decisively and quickly in battle as if they were in their 20s or 30s is absurd. The idea that a similarly aged woman, once a resistance fighter for the French in WW2, could kill two trained soldiers, is similarly irrational. Maybe it all comes down to the old adage they say about bad Hollywood movies: ''Bad guys can't shoot straight.''

The story centers on a rural county sheriff, Sam, who was once in the Special Forces (of course)who fights of drug gangs and eventually a platoon of experienced military Cuban mercenaries. About half way through the book the story strays from Sam's perspective to concentrate on the military prowess of everyone else involved and the weapons they wield. The attempt to bring it back to Sam at the story's conclusion is weak and too late.

The idea that a law enforcement officer would shoot a druggie then casually dispose of the body without telling anyone is unbelievable. Thankfully the world does not yet work like that. Finally, the outbreak of a full scale battle in a quiet rural county doesn't seem to concern the neighbours or other law enforcement officers.

The cover of the book should be changed as it gives away the story.

5,0 su 5 stelle Seven Stars from me!!

Oh boy! I did so enjoy this red-blooded tale. I stayed reading long after my partner had turned off the light and gone to sleep because I just couldn't put it down.

There's a great set of characters, and tough action. You know from the start and the title that the book will climax in a battle, and it's the building anticipation as a Sheriff in a quiet backwater and a drug cartel come to that point that makes you gallop through the book.

Unusually there's a goodly number of elderly characters - I reckon at the most generous they are in their very late 80's but more likely 90s - that take a very active part.

There's community and friendship, love and relationships well described, and all the people of Patience want to do is live life quietly and peacefully in their idyllic corner of America. But when the bad guys come along they make a stand with the sheriff to defend their homes. And since many of the old guys have had considerable combat experience and are well armed, they are not the useless defenceless old codgers that they are taken for.

The Sheriff is a tough ex-special forces man, who after being shot and nearly killed as a police officer in Detroit, moves back to his home town. He likes to say `there's no crime in Patience', which he achieves by persuading those that want to blot the record to move elsewhere and coming down hard on those that don't move.

The characters are larger than life and the story reads like it was written for Hollywood. I can see Arnie, Clint, Sly and Bruce Willis all fighting to play the Sheriff's father.

I loved reading this book, it's a real holiday read for men, fast paced and exciting. I'm now looking to download this authors other books.

Kindle formatting is fairly good with nice graphic Chapter Titles. However it would be better with spacing before a paragraph that starts a new scene. I was also confused at times recognising who was being talked about, there are two Carls and one Carlos, and two Smiths. Another character, Junior Williams in Chapter 20 becomes Junior Carter in Chapter 24. There were some typos in the latter part of the book, and lack of capitalisation of proper names, including Patience itself. All easily fixable.

Seven stars from me.

Patience County War brings the Madeleine Toche trilogy to a close. Another thirty years have passed by. Now in her eighties, Madeleine can no longer play the lead, so don't expect to see much of her. The protagonist this time is Sam, Sheriff of Patience County and younger brother of the Tracy she rescued in the previous story.

When Sam clashes with a Mexican gang who have the audacity to cook and push meth (methamphetamine) in his county, they send an assassin to eliminate the gringo. It is the assassin who dies, and the ensuing battle soon escalates into a full-scale war.

The story has its exciting moments, some very exciting, but much of it is slow and its setting is not one of the worlds I always love being transported to (like WWII France and the Israel/Palestine conflict). That said, if you enjoyed the other two books then you really should round them off with this sunset, passing-on-the-baton-to-the-next-generation tale.
