Highly Recommend You Buy This Book NOW!

When I finished reading Rick Robinson's first book I knew the guy had what it took to keep his reader's attention.  When he told me he was already working on his second book, then I knew he was the real thing.

So I ordered his second thriller "SNIPER BID" in advance and received it from my Amazon account.  WOW!

If you don't have your copy yet, you better get one now.  And it would make a wonderful gift for Christmas which you can order online here: SNIPER BID AT AMAZON

But don't take my word for it, listen to what others are saying:

This year's November surprise is Sniper Bid -- a real political thriller

sniper-bid.jpgOn the very day the free world sees a change in leadership, thriller fans will see a new entry from a leader in political thrillers when Rick Robinson's Sniper Bid hits bookstores.

An Election Day release makes sense for this follow-up to The Maximum Contribution. This time Freshman Congressman Richard Thompson is thrust into the national spotlight on a major issue - performance enhancing drugs in professional sports.

Rick Robinson knows how to write like a political insider. His thirty years in politics and law include a stint on Capitol Hill as Legislative Director and Chief Counsel to then-Congressman Jim Bunning. Robinson ran for Congress himself in 1998.

In Sniper Bid, Richard Thompson presses Congress for new standards on the use and abuse of steroids. Someone wants him to stop, but don't assume the title means Thompson is in danger from a gunman on a grassy knoll.

"Sniper Bidis a term used by people who buy on eBay," Robinson explains.  "It's used to describe a bid placed on an item at the very last moment in order to shut out other bidders."

It comes up because one of the characters in Sniper Bidis obsessed with collecting baseball cards on eBay, and one of the players whose cards he's chasing is alleged to have a steroid problem. It's a great hook for a plot, and it's impressive that Robinson was writing this one well before the Roger Clemens scandal surfaced. Robinson says it was just the right idea at the right time.
 
I wouldn't recommend it to you if I didn't think you'd enjoy it.  Congratulations to Rick Robinson, and to the rest of you, get the book now before it's too late for Christmas.
