"A wall of water--the size of a three story building---hit the research ship broadside and sent everyone flying. The wave grabbed at Neptune's surface and exploded like a supernova up and over the ship in an attempt to pass straight through steel. Pushed to a forty-five degree angle--as it fought the laws of physics to survive--the Neptune's hawseholes shot water out the sides like fire-hydrants gone amok." From the Thriller Novel OMAR by Craig O. Thompson

OMAR is a well-written, well-researched, captivating novel. Craig O. Thompson has mixed politics, advanced technology, diabolically realistic characters into the greatest treasure hunt of all time. Intriguing, ingeniously crafted, excellent plotting all add up to a first-rate story." Janet P., CA  "WITHIN PAGES I WAS HOOKED... and anxious to see where the whole adventure wuld go...I didn't spend much time eating or sleeping for a couple of days. (Thompson is) faithful to the genre in which (he) wrote while asking the reader to give more serious thought to the ideas brought up...a smashing success." Earl B., NH "WELL WRITTEN, SUSPENSFUL THRILLER... After reading the first chapter on line I was hooked and could not wait to read more. I ordered one copy, afrer receiving and reading only the first two chapters, I ordered three more as gifts. I have read Cussler, Clancy, Ludlum, Bond as well as many others; Thompson is tough competition for these old timers. Omar is wonderful, it is a page turner, suspense so intense I read until I finished it at 5:00 a.m. one morning, I didn't want it to end. A well written, accurately researched, exciting novel; filled with surprises. With great anticipation I await the sequel." Laela H., Buena Park, CA "IT HAS TO BE MADE INTO A MOVIE... I'm telling everyone I know about (OMAR)." Chris L., VT "IN OMAR, THOMPSON HAS CREATED A MASTERFUL... suspense novel. His characters are fascinating in their depth and believability, with his use of flashbacks and plot twists. OMAR is a hard book to put down." Colonel Joseph H. (Retired, USArmy), AZ "...GOOD COMPANY DURING AN ICE STORM... I usually find that my reaction to a book I like is a feeling of wanting more, when I reach the last page...and that I want to revisit its characters...I had that reaction to OMAR." Michael R., ME "...I HAVE JUST ONE WORD FOR THE BOOK. WOW!!! I ordinarily read other types of genre, but I couldn't wait to come home from work to dive in." Evalyn C., MO "OUTSTANDING PAGE-TURNER... OMAR is an exciting, thought-provoking novel that Craig O. Thompson has painstakingly researched down to the last detail. The characters are multi-faceted, the plot is complex without being confusing, the action sequences are fast-paced and descriptive, and the details show incredible knowledge of the subject matter without being pompous. OMAR puts the reader in the story from page one. If you like the idea of the depth of Tom Clancy combined with the story-telling ability of Wilbur Smith, OMAR needs to be in your collection. I can't wait for the sequel! I'd suggest it to anyone who loves action adventures." George J., AZ "...IT IS A THRILLER!... What vivid descriptions (he) weaves. I would certainly place (Craig O. Thompson) right up there with Jack Higgins, Stephen Coonts, and Clive Cussler." Alan L., IN "OMAR IS ONE EXCITING THRILLER! I picked up the new novel about terrorism called OMAR by Craig O. Thompson, at the Arizona Book Festival. It is one of the most intelligent reads I've purchased in years. More than just the blood and guts that most publishers seem to throw at us, these days, "Omar" gave me thoughtful passages and carefully threaded stories to unite the plot (which deals with terrorism under the Atlantic and a very famous sunken ship)."
