To quote Ephraim Clark on his review of The Defect, "Exciting from beginning to end. The bad guys personalities were developed as much as the good guys and girls personalities. The minute details and timing in the countdown to the attack are the glue that holds the reader's attention. It takes a nuclear reactor expert to even know that some of these security measures exist. I like the way the bad guys get tripped up on little details as well as the way that the good guys and girls use knowledge of the details to detect anomalies in the system and what could be causing them. This is a strong, straightforward, manly writing style that keeps the temperature up and the pages turning. Maybe the Feds will come after Jeff Bailey for outing some deep secrets of the nuclear trade. Then he'll have material for his next book that I will be standing in line to read." Thank you, Ephraim.
