Jag 2: Clean Steel

Having read the first TV Tie-In for JAG I was excited to continue on to the second. I was hoping it would be just as exciting and fast paced as the first. Thankfully, I was not disappointed. Again, I feel that Robert Tine really has a knack for capturing the feel of an episode of JAG. The characters were true to form and mirror images of the ones I've grown to love through the show. The dialogue was authentic -- funny when called for and serious when it had to be. Something I love about JAG is the tendency to jump from humor to drama and Mr. Tine captures that feel very well in this novel. As per the first novel, the plot was enthralling and intricate and kept me guessing and completely involved right up until the very end. This story line would really make an exciting episode of JAG! Again, I was well pleased with Mr. Tine's ability to capture the chemistry between Harm and Mac perfectly. Their banter was just as witty and captivating as that on the program. An added bonus in this book is the increased inclusion of Bud Roberts -- a character I've grown fond of and who adds much to the story by way of levity. Once again I was sad to note that a picture section had not been included in this book either -- I still say this would make a nice addition to these highly readable books! All in all, _Clean Steel_ was a superb read -- on the same par with the first book in this series. I was quite impressed with this book and will read it again. Once more I was able to picture the actors who play these parts while I read the story which is a exceptional accomplishment on the part of Mr. Tine -- he captured their essence so well. _Clean Steel_ was a first class read that I completely enjoyed. I certainly hope there are plans to continue with this line of TV Tie-Ins. I, for one, would definitely buy them!

This was definitely as good as the first novel. It's fast paced, the characters are clear in your mind, and although it does contain detailed parts, it doesn't distract from what's going on. Love the show...Love the book.

I THINK ROBERT TINE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH THIS BOOK. I COULD IMAGINE EVERYTHING HAPPENING AS I WAS READING. I FOUND IT HARD TO PUT DOWN WHICH I FOUND HARD TO GET USED TO SINCE I AM NOT A READER OF BOOKS AT ALL. THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK THAT I ACTUALLY FINISHED AND IT HELD MY INTEREST ALL THE WAY THROUGH. I CANT WAIT FOR ANOTHER BOOK TO COME OUT AND I AM STILL LOOKING TO FIND BOOK ONE AS I KNOW IT WILL BE AS GOOD AS THE FIRST.

I was just as pleased with the second JAG novel as I was with the first. It picks you up right from the start and dosen't put you down 'till it's over.There is no court room action this time, the story is based aroud and investigation, but it has lots of action none the less.I think this book was edited much more throughly than the last, although there are still one or two small mistakes that a deticated JAG fan would pick out :o) Though once again, Harm does not fly an F-18! Oh well maby they'll get it right in the next book, and I hope there will be a next one!
