Neil Yingling of Amherst, Ohio is an industrial counter-terrorism expert and member of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers.  He had this to say about Palawan:

 "I love the way you pieced in the author's cameo appearances in the novel.  Hey, at times it was hard to put the book down.  I read it cover to cover over the last three days.  Excellent work! I truly mean it.  On par with Vince Flynn's terrorist novels.  When does the next novel come out?"

"Good plot.  Good characters.  Smooth writing.  Easy yet exciting reading.  I could sit there and just visualize it all.  Frankly, it would make a good movie."

Linda H. Carlson, a homemaker and writer from Seattle, WA made the following comments:

"Hold on....you're in for some action in this book!  It was hard to put this book down.  From the very beginning there is danger, excitement, and romance.  The characters, both male and female, are unforgettable.  The details about the locations as well as the medical and weaponry information made me feel like I was a part of all the action.  It would make a great movie."

Jack Miller, of Las Vegas, NV and Author of the novels Master Cheat! , All Crooks Welcome and Cold War Warrior says:

"Grrrrrrrreat!  I read it!  I thought I was living it with the characters.  This one is the novel I wish I had written.  All three parts, the beginning, middle and the ending (Wow), were excellent.  From the moment she leaves the coffee shop and he leaves for a swim the excitement builds.  Great action description and as I said the ending, well, that is how it should be.  C.D. for your first book my congratulations.  Now, get busy and write another.  Jack Miller, envious author."

Keith Bettinger, of Las Vegas, NV and Author of Fighting Crime with "Some" Day and Lenny said:

"Palawan by C. D. Williams is a modern day action thriller that must be read.  Williams draws on his many years in the US Coast Guard to travel to destinations most of us will never venture to.  His good guy characters are the salt of the earth and his evil doers are terrorists affiliated with our modern day scourge - Al Qaeda."

"I'm really, really, really, enjoying your book, ‘Palawan.'  I would like to have you on the show, if you're game!  Your story-telling is fabulous.  Your job is to write - which you've done well (I can't Stop reading!!).  Your book is very engaging and I would like to talk about it with you on the show.

Congratulations on a very decent book.  I picked up your "Palawan" a few days ago in the local library and could not put it down.  Your characters are indeed very captivating and it is extremely easy to imagine living in their world.

I just finished reading your book "Palawan" and I must say that I enjoyed it very much.  This is one of the few books in which the terrorists get what they deserve.  The heck with "political correctness."
