Comments from readers of The Zambezi Incident are beginning to come in. Here is a selection of some of the comments that the author has received for the book and associated articles. The names of the commentators are withheld to protect the innocent.

The problem with this book is that once you start it you can't put it down. It keeps you awake at night because you always want to know what happens next.  HK - Feb 2005
You just have to read page 13.  PLR - Feb 2005
I have been to Africa several times and the book's descriptions of the cultures and situations in Africa are right on. Your character development is excellent; better than in most novels. The sex scenes are PG 13. TGW- Mar 2005
I was impressed with your imagination in developing a complicated plot with a variety of characters spread over a lot of locations. It was evident that you did a lot of research.  YMS - Mar 2005
Your book was really good. It was so good my wife bought four of them. VRT - Mar 2005
I found it interesting because you used  the past experiences you had and places you have been—I could see it—that was fun. I will buy your next edition.  DMT - Apr 2005
I really enjoyed the book. It was exiting and fun to read. When will your next book be out?   JJ - Apr 2005
 I enjoyed reading the book. It was well written and an interesting read. The story held together quite well. It was just about the right length. TNW - Apr 2005

Your ability to relate the details of the hunt are fine tuned. Your prose is written in an intelligent, easy, matter of fact style that gets the reader involved without getting in the way. As it stands it reads as a superb memoir of an actual hunt.  Jim - Apr 2005

 The interplay of the hunter and the al-Qaeda characters was well done and it kept you interested until the end. The ending of the story was great.  CAH - May 2005
This novel is fast paced and very plausible. An exciting, easy read for dad at the beach or on the patio for his special day.   DE - May 2005
 enjoyed the long build-up. It was...well-written, and afforded me a glimpse of a world of which I have no experience. I have mixed feelings towards hunting, but in spite of (or perhaps because of) this I found my pulse racing as you reached the description of the hunt. A thrilling and compelling read. Thanks.  Sian - Sept 2005
This is a good story and I enjoyed reading it. It would make a great movie.  GG - Oct 2005
Just a quick note to let you know that I just read your book that I got from you after our pheasant hunt. I loved it! Please let me know when the sequel comes out.    MK - Dec 2005

The Zambezi Incident is a tautly plotted page-turner, well written, with insight, by author Jack Hagen, and more than likely symbolizes events going on in the shadows of the world today where cultures collide.  JW - Dec 2005

I passed your book on to son but he is still too busy to get at it.  When he does he won't put it down.  As for me, I am waiting for your next one.  JAA - Feb 2006

It was a really good book. When we visited Harare and hunted on the Zambezi last year, I could picture the scenes from your book. When will you have the next one?  KW - Mar 2006
Dang you! I got your book and was going to read it while I was in the hospital, but I started reading it and now I can't put it down! Fantastic reading - you've been there. You got to finish the  other one now. Again, great reading old dawg. You all come see us. We'll leave the light on for you. MJ - Sep 2006

Jack, I very much enjoyed your book while deployed. TM - Jan 2008
