Critical Mass by Steve Martini
Exciting Without Doubt
When a handsome stranger walks into Joss Coles one-woman law office
on a sleepy island in Puget Sound and slaps down a hefty retainer to
incorporate a fledgling electronics business, the burned-out ex-public
defender has a hunch things arent exactly as they seem. And when Dean
Belden, this strange new client, comes back a few days later with a
federal grand jury subpoena he swears he cant explain, she still doesnt tie
it into the bizarre illness suffered by her other major clients, a group of
commercial fishermen. Then Belden skips out on the feds and dies before
her eyes in the fiery explosion of his float plane. Or does he? Within hours
there are two attempts on Josss life--clearly someone thinks she knows
more than shes telling. Later, a nuclear fission expert shows up on the
island tracking two missing tactical nuclear devices stolen from a Siberian
storage facility, and the Geiger counter starts ticking. When Josss
fishermen start dying of what is clearly radioactive poisoning, the outlines
of Beldens shadowy past get filled out in a tense thriller as topical as
todays headlines. Steve Martini ties it all together with a fast-paced, well-
plotted story of homegrown militia groups set up by Americas enemies. He
tosses in a hint of romance--just enough to show off Josss vulnerable side

without slowing down the action. Martini fans will swallow this one whole,
while those who havent discovered him yet can catch up with his several
other thrillers on the paperback backlist, including Compelling Evidence,
Prime Witness, and The Judge. --Jane Adams
Personal Review: Critical Mass by Steve Martini
I am not a novel reader by nature, but someone gave me this book and
along with some other S Martini books, found it riveting until I finished the
book, then I was disappointed that I finished the book. Now what I thought,
it was so good, I didn't want it to end! good thing is, I still have lots of
Steve's books to read...
