- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5'Unmanned', Don Fesperman's supposed fast-paced techno-thriller, lost me about halfway through when I realized its caricatured main characters and confusing cast of government, private, semi-government, contractor, and assorted other involved persons were creating a mess that was far from fast-paced. I didn't find the descriptions of the technology to be all that interesting, Fesperman's writing was tolerable but his dialogue was awful, the plot was OK at a high level but falls apart in the details, and the conclusion was totally unrealistic. Other than that, it was OK I suppose....I 'discovered' Fesperman via his recent 'Safe Houses' spy thriller, one of my favorites of this year, and thought I'd be able to reach back into his catalog for others of similar quality. So far, it's been hit or miss and Unmanned was a real miss.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a story of what a person might do if an act from him caused another person to die.This psychological novel tells of Darwin Cole. He had been an F1 fighter pilot in the Air Force. He was transferred to be a pilot in the Predator Drone Program. He's given the order to strike a home in Afghanistan. After Darwin sets the missile on its way, he sees a little girl running for her life, then the missile hits. The next thing Cole sees is the death and destruction caused by the missile.Cole has a daughter about the same age as the girl who was killed and he is haunted by his action. He looks for the man who ordered the strike and said it was a HVT (High Value Target) but the man can't be found.Cole starts to drink more than he had and becomes a drunk, he goes AWOL and is discharged from the Air Force. His wife takes their children and leaves him. He's left living in a trailer in the desert.One day a reporter arrives at the trailer and asks him to join her and two other journalists trying to find the person who ordered the missile strike to hold him accountable for his actions.Cole joins the team and speaks to a couple of people to get information of where the man is. At the same time, Cole is being hunted by a man who will decide his fate once he finds him.I've enjoyed Fesperman's other novels, in particular "The Prisoner of Guantanamo." The character's in this book and the drama were not up to the level of Fesperman's other works.I received this book in return for an honest review.
