“Val, in all honesty, I was blown away. I would read a few pages, put the book on my chest, and wonder how could Val weave so much into a single paragraph. I’ve asked myself “could I do it?” The answer was no. You really are very good.
“In addition to how well you write, the story was terrific. And, the characters became real. Congratulations, my friend you found a new vocation. I know you will continue to be successful. (It was clever to let us readers know, there would be a follow on with some of the same characters.)
“I predict the book will be a huge success and look forward to seeing you on the Opera Winfrey show.”
– Jack Chain, retired 4-star General USAF
“I am flat impressed. Your research is phenomenal coupled with your great imagination. The story line is superb and the lead-in suspense really keeps the book in the “page-turner” mode. The concept, which is so terribly believable, is certainly there as we speak.”
– Bill Goldfein, USAF Col ret.
“I’m finally taking a few minutes to tell you how much I enjoyed your book. Initially I planned to read it on the flight to Australia but I made the mistake of starting it a couple of nights before we left Palm Springs and by the time we left for the airport I was finished!
“Congratulations on a superb result. You had me right from the opening to the end. Your storyline with all the suspense and intrigue was gripping. You clearly moved in some fascinating circles during the last few years of your career and you very successfully wove that knowledge into a story that will, I am sure, keep all your readers up late because they can’t put it down.
“Best of all, your closing statement leaves the door wide open for the ‘next’ one. For Heaven’s sake let me know when it is available.”
– Harv Haakonson, MD, bestselling author
