 Reprisal...... Oct 25, 2006
By Lynn L. Duckwall
"M. A. Duckwall"
"Reprisal is a sure-fire pleaser, meticulously plotted with wonderfully realized characters and exciting twists and turns. Well written, fast and tense. Clear your day for a single sitting as it is a page turner. Reprisal is a dynamic debut which only leaves one question - where has Vince Huntington been hiding?

A rare perspective Oct 11, 2006
By Barrett Tillman
To judge the Vietnam War's literary landscape, a reader would conclude that only grunts and airmen fought in SE Asia. Therefore, Vince Huntington's insightful view of the naval war represents a rare perspective. His officers and sailors are well portrayed, each possessing strengths and foibles that lend them human credibility. One suspects that "Reprisal" contains as much fact as fiction, and part of the reader's pleasure is speculating how much.

Hurray for underground novels! Oct 11, 2006
By Modern Fix
Reprisal, by Vince Huntington is truly all things to a book. A `coming alive' only to wish you were dead story - a fascinating account of traitors and spies, of strategy in combat, an enduring search for love and revenge for sabotaged love, of powerlessness to flawed authorities, of deepest beliefs versus conflicts of morality, of commitment, of the mismanagement of sexual power, of an affair which destroys a marriage, a marriage that destroys an affair. Whew! If this book is wrong i don't want to be right...

A one-of-a-kind mystery/adventure that will truly move you Jan 21, 2007
By Sheldon L. Dingle
REPRISAL - A NOVEL is a story with many threads, all of which are creative, surprising, strong, and sometimes gut-wrenching. The characters are very well drawn and you'll relate to them at a deep level - pro and con. When you think your mind can't be stretched any further, something in the tradition of the great mystery novels happens to shatter your preconceived notions. You'll learn a good bit about military life, the stresses of war on the individual and upon individual relationships. You'll encounter truly deep love as well as bitter hatred. REPRISAL is almost impossible to put down. I highly recommend it.
Conflict is more than war Jan 10, 2007
By L. Warren
"Avid reader"
Reprisal is an exciting and engaging book with a well modulated sense of tension and all the characters are exceptionally well realized. Plus--I really like the way the characters (including the baddest and most confused of the lot) experienced and tried to deal with love and friendship and the misuse of various kinds of power--a thinking person's page turner.
