A bolt of lightning strikes a young man while he is out golfing. The event changes him in ways he needs to explore. The problem? The government wants him so that they can explore those changes themselves. Will he be able to keep them away?
For plot, so far, I give this an A+ (9). Why "so far"? Because this is obviously simply the first book in a series.
For technical score, an A (8). A number of small mistakes, but they didn't interfere with the story too badly.
For appeal, another A (8). Why not higher? To me, the sex scenes came along so often, and in so much detail, that in a longer story I feel it interferes with the story's progress. I simply found myself skimming through them at some point. Many people will enjoy this style, and I don't mind it on a shorter story.

Many of us were saddened to learn of the health issues that interrupted Phil Brown's superb 'Second Time Through' saga. Now we see him in much better condition and well enough to publish a new book.
'Lightning in a Bottle' is well up to the standard that we expect from such a good author. His characters are well developed, the plot is well thought out, it has some good twists and quite a bit of humour. If you like sailing, golf or cocking a snook at the government, maybe all three, this is a book for you to enjoy.
I'm not consciously in editor mode when I am reading for pleasure but typos, silly mistakes and grammatical errors all seem to leap out at me should they be present. I am pleased to report that if there were any in this book, they were remarkably well hidden! Seriously, this is a very well written book, which has benefitted from careful proof reading and shows the author's attention to detail.
It's a good, rollicking yarn, I am not giving any plot spoilers, just go and read it, then say, "Thank you Mr. Brown".
Be happy that part 2 has been written and should be with us before too long.
