Derrick Wiggins is an author to watch. Masters Of Fire is a very ambitious book with a large scope that doesn't disappoint. The pace is fast and cinamatic, yet Wiggins attention to detail and character gives the book depth and focus that are not found in many espionage books. On the surface Masters Of Fire appears to be your typical Tom Clancy or Micheal Crichton fare, which in and of itself is not a bad comparison, in fact it's a compliment. Yet Wiggings comes from a background and historical point of view that is very much his own, which breaths new life into the genre and gives us a perpective never seen before in this type of book or context. There's action, there's romance, there's science fiction there's intrigue, there's politics, and there's a message, but Wiggins doesn't stand on a soap box, even if sometimes his characters do. He's let's the story stand and speak for itself and what a story it is. This is just the beginning, I hope of many more twisted tales from a young and promising author.
