The first few chapters of The Da Vinci Code are as bad as anything I've ever read in commercially successful book.

There is nothing in Dan Brown half as bad as that Australian te thriller chap who’s name mercifully escapes me for the moment.

Matthew Reiyylee, mate!

from Wiki.

Reilly wrote his first book, Contest, at the age of 19 and self-published it in 1996.[1] It was rejected by every major publisher in Australia, leading him to self-publish 1,000 copies using a bank loan.

Gotta admire the self belief and perseverance...

Buck 'Book' Riley, Senior
One of Schofield's Marines, he was part of the reconnaissance team sent to Wilkes. Book was originally a Marine working out of the USMC Wasp aircraft carrier, and was one day sent into Bosnia under Jack Walsh's orders to retrieve Shane Schofield, whose Harrier had been shot down. The mission was somewhat successful, and after Schofield had recovered he joined the Marine's ground forces, and became friends with Book.

In Ice Station, Book is in charge of the Marine's second hovercraft, and his team investigates a hovercraft that goes missing from their radar, only to discover the civilians inside had been shot dead. Upon arriving at the station itself, Book was caught in the fight against the French, and his helmet's earpiece was damaged, which meant he was unaware of the fight in the central shaft when he was moving civilians. He attempted to keep a young girl, Kirsty Hensleigh, from falling into the killer whale infested pool, but also fell in.
