Pollock successfully combines relevant issues of supply chain management into a book that reads more like a thriller than a textbook. While it doesn't fully accomplish either the intellectual endowment of a textbook or the heart-racing suspense of an exceptional thriller, the novel combines elements of each form in a unique manner to afford the reader an impression of both realms of literature. Whereas many other authors attempt to write one or the other, Pollock gives the reader a taste of each. While Pollock's work does have its shortcomings, he does what many novelists have yet to try. Perhaps his amalgamation of literatures will lead to a revolutionary kind of textbook, which will replace the monotonous readings students everywhere are currently facing. And, then again, maybe this is just one exhausted student's naïve desire.

My professor recommended this book and I'm glad she did. This book was a very fun read. It is action-packed and highlights the role of logistics and computers in modern society in an unforced manner. What did feel forced were a couple of the "romance" scenes but these are fairly short. I'd recommend this book to anyone. It definitely reads like a good novel, not an academic book, but does make you think about the impact of computers and logistics on society.

I really enjoyed this novel of logistics and intrigue. Taking a subject perceived to be as dry as logistics and bringing it to life in the form of Jane Akers was truly unique. I look forward to another book on such subject matters, written in the same fashion!

Reading this book will give you an in-depth insight into a mind which assumes it is the center of the universe and that all around it are either to serve or to be subjugated. This man approaches every encounter with others as only a competition, a fight, if you will. Every time in which he has the opportunity to engage another being and learn from that person's experience, instead he chooses to try to dominate that person. Most of us, when encountered by this nihilistic personality, choose to walk away, both saddened and bemused by the twistings of such a small mind.

It is apparent the Author would have you believe this tome' is a receipe for success, but if his tactics are attempted outside the bare knuckle underworld of timeshare sales and even worse, tort law, this man would soon find himself castigated and shunned. Lest he judge himself by the company he keeps, he needs to ask himself what friends he will have left when the money runs out. The answer is very few. Joe, most of us that work with you look upon you with feelings of pity tinged with disgust, and this book only confirms these opinions.

This is a great book, good job uncle joe

In this powerful book, Joe explores the difficulties and prejudices often faced by immigrant Americans (in this case, Italian), as well as the devastating effects of irresponsible, sensation seeking press can have on the lives of hard working, honest people. Based on true events with which I am familiar, Mr. Martori has crafted a real page-turner. His gifts for description and humor add texture to a plot which, ultimately, is a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit and intellect. I recommend this book to anyone.
