SELECTED COMMENTS FROM READERS FOR THE O TRILOGY   So Tense. I have just finished Off The Edge. What a story, I could hardly bear to read the final chapter. The book has really alive characters who you can imagine, and vivid descriptions so you can really visualize the landscape. I can’t wait to read the next. I remembered a lot about the land and wilderness, and I could just feel it as if I was there. So, so Good! Gayle Comeau   Really gripping. With many novels, you have to read a bit to get into them. With Off The Edge, the prologue kind of hits the reader...like a fish biting on a hook.... All the action really sustained my interest. I also liked how the subplots intertwined and came together. Very interesting characters. This has to be a series! Ginny McCuen   Wow! I really got into the complexities of plot and simply couldn’t put it down. Read well into the very early morning. It’s an edge of your seat suspense thriller with a complex plot that unfolds with seemingly unrelated events in multiple locations. It presents unique challenges for the cast of heroes to discover and solve in order to rescue and save innocent lives that are in mortal danger. The ending appeals to even the romantic female reader, which is unusual for most plots in the thriller genre. Jeanne Rex   This is one of the most exciting books I have ever read. I couldn’t put it down. I had to know what happened next as I got caught up in the search by Jim and his buddy Brush, first to find the Pasayten Killers and then to work out how to stop the spread of the virus. I liked the parts in the wilderness. I’m not a scientist but I found I was gripped by the science. Then when we got to a wild car chase through Seattle followed by a great g*n battle and helicopter chase. The end left me wanting to know what happens next. Doug Dunlop   This book had me gripped from page one. I like the variety of characters & the ways they find of dealing with a whole host of difficulties & experiences. It's nice to meet some old friends from Off The Edge & see them change & develop but Over The Line stands on its own. As always with Randall Perry one of the most intriguing aspects of the novel is the way in which very different worlds are woven together in one exciting narrative. Jan Good   I really hate that Najma. Betty Rhodes   Having enjoyed Perry’s first book Over the Edge in his series about the secret missions of Jim Johnson, Assistant Head of the State Department’s Biological Warfare, I looked forward to reading his second Over the Line, knowing it would be good entertainment during the 6 hour train ride ahead of me. I was not disappointed. In his inimitable style, Perry hooked me at once with his prologue (just as he had done with his prologue in Over the Edge) and I read the book in one sitting, unable to put it down. I was unprepared however for the attachment I would develop to his characters. There is depth and feeling in this second book as Perry carefully develops and crafts his characters further. Throughout this book, Perry allows us to live in the shoes of his characters, to involve us in his soul-searching study of good and bad and to discover what makes people do what they do. Catherine Fosnot   Cleverly written, and with a detail few could match, Perry provides a riveting read with his Jim Johnson series of action stories. The characters are developed logically and realistically, and the landscapes are brought to life with a clarity of one who knows them well. In addition, there is much educational value - not only do I now feel knowledgeable about the Pasayten Wilderness, its geology and how to survive there, (in spite of never having set foot in the remote mountain wilderness or even America), I also learned snippets of astronomy and microbiology. Additionally, my understanding of aircraft and how to fly them has increased tenfold. Perry seems to write about what he knows - which adds a worrying level of fear to the scenes of violence! Jenny Lyons   OMG! Are you serious?? Just kidding I just finished reading Out of Time today...That b***h!... Please let me know when your next book is out.... Karen Hill   After reading Off the Edge, I was eager to see what Perry’s cast of characters would do in Over the Line. The action got intense right from the start, with more new and unique characters interacting with the familiar heroes and villains. Perry’s scientists behave like scientists (including following a science-inspired impulse to travel where normally cautious people wouldn’t go), and he describes military operations as if he has personal experience with weapons, hardware, and tactics. The end of each chapter was only an artificial division, with action flowing into the next chapter. Do not start reading this book unless you plan to read it all the way through in one sitting! Anita Gale   Ecuador is a spell-binding yarn. RS Perry has yet given us another Jim Johnson thriller replete with terror and adventure, illness and death, warm-hearted emotion and the sweaty intensity of a military esprit de corps. In the sss, an alarming outbreak of a virus threatens the lives of innocents. Meanwhile, Jim Johnson and his team combat sinister machinations in the Americas. Pestilence, intrigue, and romance, and fighters. The armed exploits, political adventures, and tender courtships provide the reader with enough conflict – and resolution – to satisfy even the most demanding bookworm. E. L.
