"Footprints of Thunder" is based on a really original...and imaginative... precept. Atomic tests of the sixties result is big trouble now.
I did find the characters to be a bit unbelievable and the action was sometimes not very realistic. As with so mant thrillers, dumb luck and unusual juxtapositions are a main factor in the good guys winning(more or less).
In spite of the shortcomings, James David has produced a pretty good and entertaining read which departs from the sometimes boring norm for thrillers.
The open ending leaves lots of room for the sequal but I'm not sure I really want to read it right now.
I do, however, plan to read some more of David's work, if for no other reason than his refreshing departure from the thriller norm.
