CFBA tour -- Island Inferno
This week, the CFBA is touring Chuck Holton's ISLAND INFERNO. Below, you will find the CFBA's official blog, showcasing the book and the author. But that's not why you're here. You came by to decide, to buy or not to buy. Well, the answer is clearly, TO BUY.
Chuck Holston (former Army Ranger) writes with an authenticity that only an experienced man could provide. Sure, I've read some great stories written with pure imagination before, but Chuck's writing shows that knowing your subject matter can make a tremendous difference.
Besides writing with an insider's voice, Chuck employs a pace that will blow your mind. If you've never heard the phrase "page-turner" then pick up ISLAND INFERNO and you'll join the ranks of the enlightened. Fast paced writing mixed with a suspenseful story make for a fantastic read.
In addition to the pacing and writer's insight, there are some very good writing elements in ISLAND INFERNO. Chuck maintains Point of View well (which only helps move the story along) and infuses just the right amount of romance to give his well-rounded characters more depth.
Every summer has its blockbuster movie full of action and adventure. Well, ISLAND INFERNO might just be the equivalent for the summer reader. The only thing I can encourage you do do more than read ISLAND INFERNO, is to red the entire series.
If you're still up in the air about this, visit the other blogs listed in the CFBA blogroll to the right (toward the end of the page, I can' seem to get it back to the right as a sidebar).

As the global war on terror heats up, the U.S. deploys a team of highly trained special operators overseas to locate and neutralize threats, bringing EOD expertise to dangerous missions that have no room for error.
A DEADLY EXPLOSION
A new specialty explosive is on the black market: ITEB looks like water, but when it's exposed to air, the effects are lethal! The United States government is frantic to keep it from our shores. Staff Sergeant Euripides "Rip" Rubio knows how destructive ITEB can be. He has already risked his life to thwart a horrific terrorist plot involving the chemical. Now Task Force Valor heads to Panama, on the trail of an arms dealer who plans to use ITEB to make a killing...literally.
AN ADVENTURE ABROAD
Fernanda Lerida is a University of Florida grad student who jumps at the chance to join a biological expedition to a mysterious former prison island. But the snakes, bugs, and crocodiles are soon the least of her worries as the group stumbles upon something they were not meant to see. To Make matters worse, Fernanda soon finds herself alone and being pursued by an unseen foe.
A RISKY RESCUE
When Rip's path collides with Fernanda's, they find themselves caught in the midst of a brutal turf war. Can they use the chaos to their advantage, or will one false step set the entire island ablaze?
"Island Inferno is a boy-meets-girl story. But in Chuck Holton's world, boy meets girl in the middle of a jungle at 25mph. hanging under a parachute with an assault rifle strapped across his chest. You'd better plan on reading this in one sitting. And once you're done, you'd better give yourself time for your pulse to calm down."
