Negative Positive
Title: Hardy Boys gone fowl (sic).
Review: This is the second Ted Bell book I've read. The first was "Hawke." Perhaps I should have cut my losses. Bell's writing and research have improved but "Pirate" is still burdened with hollow characters and jarring implausibilities. In providing fast-paced action and a lively plot, Bell has sacrificed all else.Bell's target audience would seem to be 18-year-old military enlistees with time on their hands. As for myself, I cannot suspend disbelief long enough to enjoy a Bell novel.
