For those of you who have read prior Stephen Hunter novels, this one is another one that can be summarized as follows: testosterone-filled; awesome gunfight scenes; and, Bob Swagger! The one addition to this novel is the NASCAR angle.

The main down-side is the over-emphasis of the stereotype of the southern Baptist hick portrayal of some of the characters.

This is another novel that is lacking in character development, but high on action and plot. Trying to solve the identity of the bossman is not really difficult, but fun to piece together early on.

If you haven't read Hunter before, I highly recommend starting with "Point of Impact" - his best novel yet.
