H.A.A.R.P.S FURY (Bryson McGann Novels) ReviewWhen I found out about the HAARP Project in Alaska, I was hoping someone would write a novel about it. Wiliam Beck has done that with exceptional style. A suspensful, intriguing mystery awaits the reader. Beck's style lies somewhere between Clancy and Cussler and it does not disappoint! Great characters and a believable premise won't let you put it down until you turn the last page. A potential for a blockbuster!H.A.A.R.P.S FURY (Bryson McGann Novels) OverviewHidden in the remote reaches of northwestern Alaska, the H.A.A.R.P. Project is now complete. Its true intent is known only to a small contingent of high-ranking military officials. When this team arrives to observe testing of the ‘black-ops' project, their unforeseen discovery yields numerous questions that offer no answers. The only clue left behind are four letters scrawled in blood at the mysteriously deserted compound. A decade later, Bryson McGann, employed by the National Earth Seas Science Agency, finds himself involved in an undersea mining project of an ore with great military potential. Ruthless Canadian businessman, Fletcher Durnulqc, holds the key to its extraction. An alluring woman, and a nearly fatal underwater accident, leads McGann unexpectedly to a chance meeting with Durnulqc at his estate.Threads begin to unravel, as abnormal and malevolent weather patterns emerge globally, unprecedented in their destruction and chaos. Could Durnulqc be involved and linked to the H.A.A.R.P. Project's demise? McGann finds himself pitted in a race against time that, if played out, will forever change the face of the planet and cost the lives of millions.

Beating the Babushka (Cape Weathers Investigations) ReviewI got fooled. Big time.
Tim Maleeny's breakout book, STEALING THE DRAGON, introduced Cape Weathers to the world of noir detective fiction. One of the more impressive elements of that standout work was his use of San Francisco's Chinatown --- the real Chinatown, not the wide avenues where the tourist buses run --- as a dark backdrop to his complex, enthralling mystery. When I heard that Maleeny's second Cape Weathers novel was to be titled BEATING THE BABUSHKA, my initial thought was something along the order of "Wow! That's great! It will be set in Russian Hill!" I used to live in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, and since occasionally and unfortunately I operate under the assumption that everything is all about me, I just couldn't wait to revisit my old neighborhood through the eyes of Weathers and Maleeny.
As things develop, however, the book's setting is not Russian Hill. Surprisingly enough, it isn't really set entirely in San Francisco. And that is only the beginning of the surprises that Maleeny plants here. He is a wonderfully strong and confident writer, and other than bringing a couple of supporting characters with him from STEALING THE DRAGON, this is a very different story from its predecessor.
BEATING THE BABUSHKA begins with Weathers being retained to investigate what looks to all the world to be a suicide. Tom Abrahams, who is in San Francisco producing an epic disaster movie for Empire Films, falls to his death from the Golden Gate Bridge. Grace Calloway, Abrahams's co-producer and former lover, is convinced that his death was involuntary. Weathers, though not entirely sure that Abrahams didn't jump on his own, agrees to look into the matter. His curiosity is aroused one hundredfold when a couple of very dangerous gentlemen with Eastern European accents bluntly tell him to disengage himself from the investigation, an instruction that naturally causes Weathers to dig his heels into the ground and begin nosing around.
Weathers has a small but interesting group of folks along to help him --- Linda, a reporter; Beau, a San Francisco homicide detective; Sally, an indispensable martial arts expert; and The Sloth. The Sloth is one of the most interesting supporting characters you're likely to encounter in a contemporary work of fiction --- his very nature keeps him from being used to carry an entire novel --- but Maleeny wisely uses him sparingly, though to great effect. It is worth reading a Weathers story just to encounter The Sloth, who combines a significant personality disorder with an uncanny computer genius.
Weathers and the reader learn quite a bit about the politics and financing of filmmaking, as Weathers's investigation begins to dovetail into a series of bizarre and grisly deaths involving some lesser players in the San Francisco underworld. Weathers literally will go cross-country to solve this case before it is all over, putting himself in deadly jeopardy, escaping with aplomb and wisecracking his way through at least some situations while tap-dancing his way out of others.
Maleeny is an entertaining storyteller who combines elements of noir detective fiction with occasional bits of humor to create a character, and a series, of wide, deep and far-reaching appeal. BEATING THE BABUSHKA goes a long way toward establishing Maleeny as one of the new princes of detective fiction.

Greasing the Pinata (Cape Weathers Investigations) ReviewCape Weathers is my Harry Potter. Just like my daughters so loved jumping into J.K. Rowling's world of a young wizard at Hogwarts I find the same joy slipping into Tim Maleeny's land of a wisecracking detective in Chinatown. My girls have Harry, Hermione and Ron in an old school outside London. I get Cape, Sally, Sloth and Linda in parts of San Francisco that won't show up on your AAA Guide. "A Cape Weathers Investigation" (as the series is called) is a place full of dark alleys and back rooms brimming with gangsters, good guys, codes and rituals. I have thoroughly enjoyed each book in the series and highly recommend Greasing the Piñata. Have fun. I know I did.Greasing the Pinata (Cape Weathers Investigations) Overview

Stealing the Dragon (The Cape Weathers Investigations) ReviewSan Francisco comes alive in Tim Maleeny's engaging and confident debut thriller, Stealing the Dragon, a dark but witty book that showcases a new talent that is likely to please many readers.
When a container ship filled with illegal Chinese immigrants runs aground on Alcatraz Island, the crew slaughtered like cattle, private investigator Cape Weathers decides to find out what happened. His motives aren't mercenary, but personal. He's afraid that his friend Sally, a woman with a shadowy, hidden past, might have been the killer.
Weathers' investigation takes him into Chinatown where he runs up against the Triads, a local leader with his eyes on the mayors' office and an exiled mob boss improbably named One-Eyed Dong. The colorful characters are just part of the fun in this fast-paced story. Even better are the flashbacks to Sally's life growing up in a Hong Kong school for assassins.
Stealing the Dragon is an entertaining story that combines a gumshoe mystery in the tradition of Dashiell Hammett with the exotic action of Trevanian. If the detective story isn't as interesting as the other aspects of the plot, it is still refreshing to see an author trying to do something different in the PI genre.Stealing the Dragon (The Cape Weathers Investigations) Overview
