Review "Just finished reading 'Impasse'. Excellent. My preference is for mystery/thriller genre in which the protagonist discovers unused/unknown strengths. I hope for more along the lines of Impasse." - Tony, New Fan
“A tale of betrayal and revenge, Impasse has been rightfully compared to The Count of Monte Cristo, as it deals with the themes of transformation and vengeance. Impasse also has an enjoyable streak of black comedy. Buckingham brings a generous amount of humor to the table, making Stu a likable, if hapless, everyman. What's fascinating about the story and about the character is that despite every Jack London, "To Build a Fire"-type moment Stu endures in the wilderness, he continues to lack the killer instinct he ultimately needs to triumph. It's the journey to discover and unleash that instinct inside him that drives Impasse, and leads to its most satisfying moments.” ―MYSTERYSCENEMAG.COM on IMPASSE
“[A] heart-pounding modern legal thriller of survival – action packed suspense with humor, adventure, betrayal, and delicious sweet revenge...Wow, what a ride!” ―Judith Collins Must Read Books
“Buckingham spins an equally tense but thoroughly modern thriller of survival and revenge in which a man is forced to confront both deadly peril in the wild and a sadistic manipulator and unfaithful wife at home. Highly recommended for those who enjoy men's adventure tales.” ―Library Journal
“A fun, energetic thrill-ride…a modern take on The Count of Monte Cristo.” ―Jeff Abbott, New York Times bestselling author of Adrenaline
“Buckingham keeps readers' pulses pounding.” ―Kirkus Reviews on The Dead Boys
“Buckingham has written an enjoyable novel that is both scary and laugh-out-loud funny…. Fast-paced and full of action and suspense.” ―School Library Journal on Demonkeeper
“Thrilling, terrifying--and funny.” ―Tacoma News Tribune on Demonkeeper

North to Alaska, survival not guaranteed By Barbara McLovich Other than graphic sexual scenes, which one could certainly visualize, and graphic violence, pertaining to animals being captured in the wild of Alaska, I found this story-line to be quite entertaining. Stu Stark, man of the world, suddenly finds himself out of a job after losing a prominent court case. He and an old friend, Clay, start their own law practice and, again, things spiral out of control. Clay, being the so-called "nice friend", gifts Stu with a vacation to Alaska for his 40th birthday, laying it on thick with a promise of a wonderful cabin awaiting him, etc. Clay then backs out of the trip, leaving Stu to fly to Alaska on his own. Things rapidly fall apart with Stu's arrival in a desolate Alaskan wilderness. No cabin, no food, no transportation, no nothing. Stu has been conned by Clay, who in turn is betting that Stu will eventually fall prey to the Alaskan wilderness. Six months pass and Stu, suddenly smarter, stronger and being a survivor in Alaska with the much needed help of a grizzled trapper, Blake, makes his way back to Massachusetts with revenge on his mind. A good story, with some laughing points thrown in. Stu certainly turns out to be a survivor, after all. A nice cast of characters from good guys to bad guys, including a good lady-friend attorney and not-so-good wife.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Impasse By S Riaz Stuart Stark is a Massachusetts lawyer, who finds that his career has stalled after he is sacked from the DA’s office, after a case which he should have made his reputation. Although he helps convict Raymond Butz for murdering his wife, he is warned against a case where there is no body and, indeed, Butz later walks free from jail – causing the DA embarrassment and costing Stark his job.Stark finds himself in low-rent premises, in private practice with the gregarious Clayton Buchanan. Clayton and Stark’s wife, Katherine, are hoping that a personal injury case will help their luck turn. Both Stark’s wife and his business partner are selfish, money obsessed and see Stark as rule abiding – the nice guy who never makes it to the top. Katherine is resentful that their income no longer matches her intended lifestyle and Clayton uses her ambition for wealth to help him bring in richer clients.When Stark reaches forty, Clayton buys him a surprise present – a trip staying in a remote cabin in Alaska. Stark is not keen, especially not when Clayton drops out from the week of hunting and adventure at the very last moment. Dropped off in the wilderness, Stark finds that the trip is even more dangerous than he thought – there is no cabin and nobody comes back to collect him…This is, of course, a modern day re-working of “The Count of Monte Cristo,” and the author creates a thrilling and exciting adventure. A modern day lawyer left to die in the wilderness, who survives against all the odds and returns to wreak revenge. The events of this novel will change Stuart Stark from a mild mannered husband and lawyer, who always does his best for his clients – even against his own interests – to a man forced to face the fact that he was left for dead by the people he cared about and who he thought cared for him. This book never lets up the pace and is a very exciting and enjoyable thriller. Lastly, I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via NetGalley, for review.
