2.0
I liked the story a lot: the suspense was well-paced, the characters interesting and believable, and the dialogue realistic. However, there were just too many editing errors to overlook. FIRE POINT contained several wrong uses of homophones (e.g. "breaks" instead of "brakes" and "pealed" instead of "peeled") and numerous instances of first-person pronouns appearing abruptly and nonsensically in a book written entirely in the third person.
According to the "about the author" note Mr. Smolens is a professor of English, so I would expect him to be far more particular about editing than he apparently is. I won't buy any of his other books.
