Have you read any of John Twelve Hawks?

Question

After reading some reviews, I read "Traveler" and was quite disappointed at the poor quality of the research that went into it, the unawareness of modern technology (he has his bad guys using 50 year old technology for security) and the obvious reliance on the poor information in writers resource books. What was your impression? He/she/it writes pretty well, but I sort of object to the use of an American Indian sounding pen name for somebody who obviously isn't.

Answer 1

He "reads" well, but as you say could use a lot of improvement. Fairly good character development, though a little extreme.

What I kept wondering was how all those people manages to avoid satellite photography which can now read newspaper headlines from space.

Answer 2

Its just a book and fiction at that. The Traveler was quite good despite the lack of expertise in technological areas. Read the Dark River it was better than the first and added more intrigue and suspense to the tale.
