Tom Sawyer: Chapter IX
I'm talking to you I don't know your name, But i would love to Did seem to hear a knock knock, Who's out there at my door? The frightening thing is that the voice on the other end of the phone belongs to Nowaji Cristos a convicted terrorist that Jack prosecuted. Unfortunately for Jack, knowing the identity of his enemy does not help him in this case as he watched as Cristos was executed via lethal injection the previous year.
Cristos at one point says to Jack: Remember this, death is not always final, not always permanent; death is never the end. Is Jack dealing with a villain who can indeed cheat death or is he himself suffering from a mass delusion brought on by a brain tumor he has been battling? A fine job by Richard Doetsch as he once again has written a fast-paced thriller sprinkled with international intrigue and historical mysteries that keep things hopping until the very last page.
Reviewed by Ray Palen for Rebecca Reads Nov 25, Stephen rated it really liked it. Past paced thriller with a little bit of a disappointment at the end. Until one fateful night when their truck is attacked on a bridge. They fight back but Jack still in the truck is catapulted over the railing and into the river. Mia totally disappears and with the truck in the river, it is assumed that both perished.
However , they didn't! Jack is desperate Past paced thriller with a little bit of a disappointment at the end. Jack is desperate to find out if Mia survived but the headlines proclaim both dead! Jack senses that Mia has been kidnapped and somehow he knows it has to do with a case she was working on. She refuses to divulge the contents of the box because she doesn't want Jack involved in the federal case. And now the hunt is on, with the mysterious assassin, Christos Nowaji trying desperately trying to reclaim the box and it's contents.
Jack figures that it is better for him if he appears to have died in the crash while he attempts to figure out why Mia was captured and why this case is so dangerous. There are a fair amount of bodies thrown around but the pace is hectic and it certainly makes for an exciting read. There is also some mysticism involved with Christos and his origins in a small, ancient colony of monks living in the tiny country of Cotis , high in the mountains near India.
Plus there is the strange belief that certain of us can see the future and maybe? Jan 04, Timo Tiilikainen rated it liked it. A kind of strange book. A hard boiled pulp fiction kind of book with a twist of romance. Sep 29, Alex Telander rated it it was amazing Shelves: Readers will be left wondering and dreading what will happen next, and be physically unable to stop reading. Jack Keeler wakes up one morning to find that there are many things wrong with the world; things that were not this way the day before. He has a strange wound over his right eye that has been hastily and badly stitched together, yet he has no memory of ever being injured.
There is also a strange and intricate tattoo design on his forearm — written in an unknown script — which he has no recollection getting. He does not hear the sound of his beautiful wife, or his happy twin girls; his house is all too quiet. It is then that Keeler knows there is something very wrong with the world. It seems like one of those good mysteries that delivers answers as the story goes along, except Doetsch is looking to change this expected dynamic in Half-Past Dawn, providing unpredictable plot twists and startling discoveries.
In The 13th Hour, Doetsch used a device that seemed fantastic in nature; in this novel he takes on the human mind and memory — our most important asset — and yet when we start to doubt it, reality begins to be questioned. Stories this elaborately conceived usually have a weak ending, or cop out in some way; not so with Half-Past Dawn.
Doetsch has done his homework and research, linking with an Asian people out of legend, to present an incredible story that will leave one wondering until the very end. For more reviews and exclusive interviews, go to the BookBanter site.

Aug 29, David V. Received as an ARC from the publisher. I really enjoyed Doetsch's book The 13th Hour, and I expected to like this one too. I did enjoy it--fast paced, interesting characters, lots of twists and turns, and that's where I had a problem. I'd like to sit down with Mr.
Doetsch to discuss the ending, to make sure I understood it correctly. I had to read the last few pages twice, and I'm still not sure I got it right.

Knock Knock
The ending will certainly have me thinking about it for a while. Oct 17, Adrienne rated it it was ok Shelves: I was disappointed with this book. The fly leaf made it sound like a really good thriller, however it was a muddled action book seemingly written without a clear plot outline. The characters were all unnecessarily wealthy, upper-crust action figures. The plot twists were sudden and bizarre. The ending was just silly. The only reason I kept reading was that I am on vacation and I only brought a few books.
I feel like I was scammed. I got caught up in all the excitement in the little couple of paragraphs about what this book was gonna be about. Then it quickly started feeling like a body going down with a cement boot. I really, really, really hate when this happens.
This is not all that it's cracked up to be. Jan 12, Caro rated it it was ok Shelves: Starts with a bang, but the writing is so dreadful I stopped after 50 pages.
Apr 30, Lisa rated it really liked it. I discovered Richard Doetsch because he started following me on Twitter. Curious, I checked out his books and loved them. This is the 6th book by him I've read and not one has disappointed me. Nov 07, Roger Scherping rated it did not like it. This is the worst book I've read all year. It's the only book I've given a "1" to, and I'm not sure it even deserves that. This book is just a confusing mess.

It's impossible to follow, mostly because the rules keep changing. If you're going to set up an alternative reality, you at least need to be consistent so the reader can follow along. Instead the rules changed constantly, and even at the end absolutely nothing was clear. Adding to the confusion was the fact that the author kept the reader c This is the worst book I've read all year. Adding to the confusion was the fact that the author kept the reader completely in the dark. Every chapter ended with, "He opened the box, and he couldn't believe what he saw!
