Reader Reviews:
..."Mr. Ellis has written an epic spy story in "Nea Makri." The strong cast of characters and his ability to crisply portray the local and foreign residents, the minute details of the city of Nea Makri and the U.S. Navy´s installation, make for an intriguing and suspenseful story. I truly enjoyed it and look forward to his next novel . . . Alfred M. Albers, author Of Ghosts and Magic."
..."Hi Mike, Just received and finished Nea Makri. I love your writing style - 4.0. Hope you´re busy with the next Rig adventure. I read about 20 to 30 novels a month and yours are the greatest thing since 7UP. Thanks, Ron Schwab, Former NST sailor ´69 & ´70."
..."Just finished reading Nea Makri ... outstanding. You have a very unique talent. Since you are writing full time, when can I expect the next Rigney Page story to appear? There wasn´t as much sex in this one, but still outstanding story. Again, congrats on another winner. A loyal fan and reader, Ron Biswell, U.S. Navy Ret."
..."Mike, I enjoyed Nea Makri. I´m looking forward to the next sequel. Keep up the good work. E. "Jim" Poff, RMCM, USN RET."
..."That was a good book. You know how to toss a mean salad of characters and action.
I hope you know, you´re going to leave your readers in suspense until you publish another one.Todd, North Carolina."
..."Mike, Nea Makri was a very good story. Brought back many memories, even though your book took place in the 60´s, and I was there in the early 80´s. I´m going to go out on the net and get your other book - Apollo Rises. Great story and great detail. I read the book in 4 days. The story had excellent background. Kevin Enlund (ITC Retired)"
