 The Kingmaker, 2007-02-26
Brian Haig is a new author for me and I am very impressed with his style and the character of Sean Drummond. I look forward to more of his books. For those of you who may not have tryed Brian Haig, I would describe him as a cross between Nelson DeMille, my favorite author, and John Grisham. Keep up the great work Brian, I plan on ordering all of yours books.

Kingmaker is yet another Crowning Accomplishment for Haig., 2007-01-09
Kingmaker is another in the Sean Drummond series that has enough reality mixed in that it could be "ripped from the headlines". So action packed that it was difficult to put down to go to work or go to sleep. works as a stand-alone story, but even better if read in order....

 Don't Waste Yor Time!, 2006-12-08
I've enjoyed some of Haig's othe books but my strong recommendation to you is to skip this book. While the basis of the plot is established very early on, the plot mostly drags and drags and, oh yeah, drags. By the time I made my way through two-thirds of the book I was getting progressively weary of the main character's (MAJ Sean Drummonds's) non-stop wise-cracks and little of interest occurring at a fast enough pace to maintain my attention. It seems that Haig used The Kingmaker more as a vehicle to show how clever/amusing he can be through the main character, moreso than to create a fast-paced entertaining thriller. This is a similar problem I had recently in reading Nelson DeMille's Wild Fire with his wise-ass main character, John Corey. I found myself going from reading every word to skimming through the pages. While it pains me to say it, The Kingmaker may be a dealbreaker for me in regards to reading other books by Haig. Although things do eventually happen, I found the plot to be predictable and too slow-moving. The main challenge I associated with this book was to see if I had the determination to finish it. Ultimately, however, the book got the better of me and I had to give up on it about three-quarters of the way through. There are just too many books and not enough time to read them. Do yourself a favor -- don't be duped (as I was) by the other favorable reviews and skip this book.

Must Read, 2006-07-21
This was a very enjoyable novel. The pages just seemed to fly by. JAG Major Sean Drummond is asked to defend a Brigadier General in a high level treason case. It seems like a totally hopeless cause. However, Drummond with the help of his assistant
Katrina Mazorski begin to dig deep. There are several attempts at murdering them. There is a highly placed mole feeding vital information to the Russians. The case is solved rather dramatically and Drummond's client is exonerated. A delightful action packed read.

Excellent!!!!, 2006-05-06
I have read a few of his books and have enjoyed them alot, but the Kingmaker was just awesome! The story was so entertaining and brilliant. I can't believe I am saying this but this author has just moved ahead of Vince Flynn on my must read list.
