The videotapes arrive at television stations across the nation. Their chilling message: Al Qaeda has secured a rocket launcher on American soil. Their potential targets: U.S. civilians. Their ultimate threat: they will attack. Anytime. Anywhere. Amid national chaos, the FBI calls upon one of its best agents for a final desperate mission. But no one-on either side-realizes how deep or how far the sphere of influence has spread... Average Rating:
 Rating: - Well DoneSphere of Influence by Kyle Mills is sort of a relaxed thriller. There's suspense, but not too much. There's thrills, adventure and misadventure, but not too much, and there's Beamon who fits just right into a story about the things that can happen when all you want is out of this job. The writing is smooth and tight but the tension is not as high as most thrillers, letting you get a better feel for the characters. The story has a few unlikely twists, but the author keeps it all believable and ... Read More Rating:  - Kyle MillsAnother one that is just great. a great writer. Can't put his books down once you start them. A great read. Rating: - Great book dumb premise I loved the book, the characters, etc. I randomly grabbed this book off the shelf to read nad wasn't disappointed. I have 2 criticisms: 1. The whole concept of a rocket launcher shutting down the economy was (to my naive mind) dumb. Maybe it is a realistic option, but whatever. It didn't take away from the book at all. 2. Everything seemed to go right for the protaganists. But I still enjoyed it, and would recommend. Rating: - I love Mark Beamon and this book is the best one of his stories yet! I've "read" audios of several other books by Kyle Mills -- Rising Phoenix (2 tapes a bit too abridged), Free Fall (four tapes, great abridgment!), Storming Heaven (unabridged!). I've liked them all and marveled at the ideas underpinning the plotlines and Mark Beamon's brilliant strategies, but this is the best so far. I love Mark Beamon. I can see someone this intelligent lacking people-dealing skills and being mired in the bureaucracy. But when he can escape the box, can he ever think outside it! ... Read More Rating: - This is Entertainment !Although as stated in previous reviews, the plausability of this book does tend to be streched quite a bit, that does not subtract from the entertainment value of this book. Like his previous four novels, this book moves at a very quick pace, has engaging characters, and a plot line that will have you examining your morals and values. I wish Hollywood had the guts to adapt this novel to film as this would make a highly entertaining movie and would be very original as well. With the moral ambiguity of ... Read More
