Search - Rules of Prey (Lucas Davenport, Bk 1)

This was an interesting one for me! I read it in high school when I was in a "Must read everything in site phase" My brother left it laying around and I was in between books...... Anyway, I read the whole series and was dying to go back and reread them. (They were on my Xmas list and when I didn't get them, I had to jion PBS!) But I digress...it took me a few days to start reading it when I got it, like I was afraid it wouldn't live up to my own hype! Well, it did. Two days and I can't wait to go on to the next one. Full of characters you love, while still questioning their choices and lifestyle. The antagonist is a truly scary piece of work, but the humor throughout makes it a book that truly plays on all of your emotios!

Berkley 1990 printing with a different cover. This is not a story for a quiet lonely night or a reader with a vivid imagination. There is a terrifying force to this writers ability to encapture the nightmare quality of criminal intent and the deadly force used by the inhumane against their weaker brothers. But if you want a gripping fast paced literary rollercoaster ride into heartpounding excitement, this is the book for you.

This is where Lucas Davenport started. Good start and introduction to a decent character. Many changes happen in future books--so far the series is worth reading. This books has an excellent villain, good tone and well paced. A good read but may seem a little dated to new readers of the series.

Started this series in the middle and have found each story stands alone also.

This story has more of character definition for Lucas Davenport than the subsequent ones. I think it is great.

Having started this series out of order, I was not as impressed with this book as I was with the later books. It was still well written and is a must if you're going to read the entire series.

My first John Sandford. Great writing with some gasping moments.Looking forward to continuing the "Prey" series.As a fan of Cornwell, Reichs and Patterson..This was comparable..a really good read!
