I wanted to like this book. I know the locale which is the Adirondacks and the premise of the story sounded interesting. However, I could not get past the first couple of chapters due to obvious mistakes. These included broadcasting the day's temperature in metric, having Mike earn essentially a British style university degree in the military (in three years), and other such mistakes. It is as if the author took a British story and imposed it on the North American landscape.Product details

Fireball eBook Peter MacAlan Reviews
I liked the book despite the European references. The author must have spent time here as living close to the setting, I recognize most all of them. I would have given it a higher rating if I wasn't left hanging at the ending, or is it?
Excellent book. Every page was filled with adventure. The author puts you there with each character.
Well written adventure tale, some issues, but very readable. However, it ended with an unannounced cliffhanger ending which I absolutely despise. Will not be reading any more by this author.
There were some errors in aircraft in the book...the aircraft that crashed did not have propellers that could be feathered, the author should have done more homework in this area. Also, the ending just felt wrong...unless the author is planning on a sequel. Otherwise the story was great, lots of plot twists and turns and more excitement than many stories. Overall a good read.
Very good read with strong action. My only complaint, which caused breaks in the reading is the author used too many non-american words. A US radio station does not give the weather forecast in Centigrade. The Fire Control HQ is a Center, not Centre. The saloon automobile is a station wagon. Every time I read one of these, it caused me to stop, breaking the narrative.
And WHY is there an F-15 Eagle fighter jet on the cover. Nothing in the book has anything to do with this aircraft.
I out and out liked this book and it rather surprised me that I did. There are some factual errors and obvious melodrama, but MacAlan follows less in Arthur Hailey's footsteps and more in Ken Follett's. He amps up the tension and keeps bureaucratic intrigue from becoming soap opera, leading to an engaging story of a huge forest fire and those who are trying to survive and slow it. Sure, there is a coincidence appleanty, but it didn't halt my enjoyment.
This book was very well written but I would expect that from the author, Peter MacAlan aka Peter tremayne. The problem was that there were just enough European measurements used to let the reader know that this was not told from an American point of view even though it occurred at lake placid New York with all the characters being American.
