Reviews (Excerpts)
- "One of my best literary escapes of late. I quickly became engrossed with the story, both a page-turner and a leisurely-paced (well developed) yarn that put me into its scenes.[...]" - Nigel Fields
- "One of the best mysteries that I have ever read. It was very easy to visualize where each event was taking place." - Karen S. Johnson
- "The Falcon Dirk takes the reader on a fascinating journey from Kansas to the halls of Trinity College, Dublin, as Matt West searches for answers to an ancient mystery. The narrative takes several unexpected twists along the way, which keep the reader guessing and wanting more. The action is fast-paced, the locales are bathed in local color, and the characters are realistic and interesting.[...]" - Scott Lippmann

Clark G. Vanderpool about his book: "The Falcon Dirk has been [...] well received by readers [...]. For every positive review on Amazon, I have had numerous emails and personal (unsolicited) comments about how much people have enjoyed the book and are waiting for the next one. I believe the only thing holding it back from a wide readership is the exposure that is so difficult to come by for Indie Authors. [...] It has a good deal of interesting historical detail in the plot and is just a good read."
