Callsign: Queen - Book I (a Zelda Baker - Chess Team Novella) by David Wood, Jeremy Robinson
fotoshopguy52's review against another edition
4.0
I find it interesting that Mr. Robinson is a fan of James Rollins, who is one of my favorite authors, as this Novella definitely mirrors many of the aspects of Rollins' stories and characters. While I did find it enjoyable and a fast read, the author's penchant for more brutal violence, which is also quite graphically described, was somewhat of a turn off, and a little more than I needed or wanted.
The story was interesting, but also somewhat more unbelievable than Rollins' tales, so while I would have given this three and 1/2 stars if Goodreads allowed it, I upgraded my choice to four stars because I felt three was too low, and do see potential in his writing.
The fact that I bought it for a buck or so with a coupon did not hurt, but if you're a fan of this genre, it's probably worth the $2.99 price.

My favorite of all the Chess Team books so far. Love Queen, but loved that it was set in an old abandoned amusement park. Gotta love that! Good one. On to Rook.
