I liked it. It is my first book by the author and I found it well written and enjoed the read.

It's hard to keep up with PI Warshawksi's energy in this new mystery that takes us back in history to Nazi Germany and atomic bomb race of the 1950's in the US. As usual, the characters are quirky and fun. You won't be disappointed in this latest book.

Interesting concept but confused at times about who was who. I'd recommend it to action seekers.

Normally not the kind of book I'd read (I think I got it off my dad's nightstand after he passed away) but I really enjoyed it! It's a page-turner and very entertaining.

good read

I didn't care for this story.

Not interesting at all!!

A fast-paced page turner. I liked this one. I cared about the characters and liked the writing.

It has been some time since I have read any of Mr. Martini's books and this one was a pure thriller, not the usual courtroom drama that he is known for. This is a story about an act of domestic terrorism with strong implications of underwriting by foreign enemies. A nuclear weapon of mass destruction is to be detonated in an American city which will result and tremendous casualties and destruction of the greater part of a large metropolitan area. It also has much to say about failure of politicians and an inept bureaucracy to deal with the impending crisis. "Critical Mass" was written in 1998, before the horrible terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, but many of the same problems exist in our recent history with bombings, attacks on our nation's Capitol by domestic extremist militia groups, and politicians more focused on keeping their jobs than doing what they were elected to do.

Well I mistaken Martini for Martin, yet the book keep me digging to find out what the out come and where it would be. I did not like the ending in that it left me a little incomplete but would be a good set up for a sequil.

This book started slow and was difficult to follow character development. Each chapter moved to different situations so it was difficult to maintain interest. Then things began to tie together and the last half of the book was a real ride.

I like Steve Martini. Law background combined with a good story.
