Reviews:
“EMP Honeymoon” by Dorothy May Mercer was rather enjoyable. There were a few developmental plot points I didn’t find too believable, but nothing that took away from my overall experience. As such, this book deserves a 5 out of 5 star rating.
This is the second of the Mike McBride books I've read, and I do enjoy them for the easy flow of story and somewhat campy nature. The protagonists make defeating terrorists seem a lot easier than in reality, and it's quite refreshing to see. In this story, there was far more suspense and a sense of danger for several of the characters, both pro- and an- tagonists. The performance by Scott Ellis is pretty solid, though the overlay of the same voice for group singing numbers wasn't as enjoyable as the rest of the book. On the whole, a good solid modern fiction with fun characters and some decent parodies of world leaders.
