In The First Rule, Joe Pike is the flight leader while Elvis Cole (and another new Pike buddy, Jon) are wingmen, supporting Joe's effort to find out who killed his friend and in effecting justice.

I happen to love Joe Pike and his stoney detached nature because Crais created a full person in Pike, one with a tumultuous past and a caring hidden heart. With The First Rule readers go deeper into his world and armed with a more intriguing plot line, they are in for a wild ride.Read the full revie...
