BrightPub@aol.com WHAT OTHERS
HAVE SAID... "Craig O.
Thompson's OMAR forecasts tomorrow's
headlines. The proliferation of nuclear, chemical,
and biological weapons, materials, and know-how is
the number one national security threat to the
United States. This well-researched fiction is a
timely window into potential disasters for
unprepared nations." U.S.
Senator, Richard G. Lugar Henry H.
Shelton, "(Omar)
provides an interesting depiction and a realistic
account of activities that readers will
enjoy." Thomas E.
White, "....I
found that this book really stayed with me....The
fact that (Thompson) predicted such terrorist
attacks gives (him) legitimacy as an expert, and
the way that (he) wove the facts with the Jeffrey
Marks, Rich
Gotshall, "...a novel
that reads extremely well...marvelous climax
...bravo!" Robert
Gover, "Undersea
salvage, the wreck of the Titanic, and
diabolical terrorists bent on nothing less than
total destruction of the western world collide on a
stage of global proportions in this page turning
action adventure from newcomer, Craig O.
Thompson....Written before the 9/11 attacks, this
book is chillingly accurate in its depictions of
terrorists, their actions, plots, beliefs and
ruthlessness. Thompson's writing is top caliber,
immediately putting him on a square playing field
with the genre's top purveyors. The detail, put
into the technology and background, is woven
seamlessly with the narrative that lends it
credibility and adds to the plot, without bogging
the reader down with incessant techno-babble and
vague concepts. An extremely engaging read that
firmly establishes an exciting newcomer in the
genre." N.M.J, "Deep ocean
adventure in the tradition of Clive
Cussler." Charles
Pellegrino, "...a story
of this magnitude is mind boggling...I can't wait
to see it on the big screen!" Captain Jim
L. Willsey, Arthur J.
Bachrach, "I am
impressed by (Thompson's) strength of his
storytelling, command of dialogue, and ability to
evoke a scene...the text has been brought to a high
finish...to a degree that one does not often see
these days." Joseph
Foote, Past President, "OMAR,
by Craig O. Thompson, is a highly professional
piece of writing by a first-class writer and
storyteller...he has created a suspenseful,
mesmerizing thriller. I am sure he will keep armies
of readers up all night racing through the
pages." Isolde
Chapin, Former Executive Director, READ
THE PROLOGUE AND FIRST CHAPTER OF
OMAR
© "...a
literary treasure...with high regard reserved for
only those few writers who show brilliance... this
work is clearly of this caliber." Dr. John
Maestas, "...OMAR
draws the reader into the story right from the
opening paragraphs...(with) the usual twists,
turns, and surprises that readers look for, know
are coming, and--in the case of good
writers--somehow are caught off guard. (Thompson
writes) in the tradition of Robert Ludlum, Clive
Cussler, Tom Clancy and others." Reverend
Paul Wharton Craig O.
Thompson "...writes so well! I read OMAR and
was hooked...The way he opens is masterful. There
is a sense of the mythic underlying what's to
come...in the hands of an author who would excite
and intrigue me. I was captured from the
beginning." Timothy
