"Frames Per Second is [Eidson's] fifth novel and
easily his most complex and ambitious. Eidson is reaching for a
lot here and he comes away with enough to make even the great John
D. McDonald proud." "Eidson's fifth and best concerns a likable news photographer
and the scheming scoundrels he disenchants....Good guys to root
for, villians to hoot at--both sides refreshingly believable—in
a story that bristles with action and deft twists of plot. With
this one, Eidson turns a corner." "Plot twists involving mistaken identity, sexual blackmail,
white supremacists, the mob, and multiple assasins with political
ties feel fresh and believeable amid the author's fully formed characters.
Eidson covers a lot of territory with polish and economy, and his
characterization of Ben as a family man, artist, paparazzi, and
hero all in one is refreshing and nuanced." "Frames Per Second is an exciting, well-written
thriller that proves Bill Eidson belongs within the upper echelons
of the sub-genre. The action-packed storyline never slows down for
even a page. The characters seem real with interesting motives that
make sense. Fans will embrace Ben as well as Mr. Eidson who has
written his best tale to date." "Eidson includes enough shooting, bombing, and burning to
give action fans a bang-up time." "Eidson is fantastic at drawing rich characterizations in
delicate moral crisis and leading us breathtakingly to their seemingly
natural conclusions. But the tension and fear along the way is palpable.
I am always so relieved to get to the end so that I can go to sleep
but sorry because I know I won't be revisiting these people I have
come to care about again. I want a sequel! (5 cats)" "Frames
per Second reads like a bullet shot from a gun. Full-bodied characters,
an intriguing, real-life situation that sets your hair on end. This
book has it all." "Damn Bill Eidson. He cost me a night's sleep. Open Frames
Per Second at your own peril and don't say I didn't warn you, because
this book will grab you by the throat and defy you to put it down.
Clean, crisp writing, utterly believable human characters, and more
plot twists and turns and wrong-way streets than the entire city
of Boston. "Frames per Second is a fast-paced read with guts and heart." "Bill Eidson's recipe for success: take three competitive,
talent people, trying to work out a blended family. Add a couple
of right-wing bombers. Add a mobster with impulse control problems.
Add a dash of politics, seductive babes, suspicious cops, and damaging
photographs. Put the whole thing on speed. Clear the decks and prepare
for a great read." "Eidson writes like a prize-fighter--hard, fast, full of
surprises and hits just keep coming." "Bill Eidson's thrillers always deliver a ride that's wilder
than any action movie at the multiplex or any cop show on TV. There's
also more tension, suspense, and sheer entertainment. Frames per
Second is Eidson's best, a novel of menace that will keep you awake
and sweating through tomorrow morning." |
