I haven’t read any of the Prosecution Force series until now. I am a bit disappointed, as I love the Mason Sharpe series, where the focus is on one man, & thought this would be the same. This doesn’t have the same intensity, this series moves between 3 groups, with many people involved in each. The characters aren’t as well developed as the Mason Sharpe, which has much fewer characters. Also it feels like there are little details which are missed. I had a much harder time feeling invested in the story. It does have a bit action. This is still a decent suspense/thriller, well worth reading just adjust your expectations to a different level of focus. #FireStorm #NetGalley
The premise of this book is both true to life today and terrifying. We live in a world where concerts, trips to the mall and occasional outing can lead to death by people who don't even know who you are. When the stage explores at the concert Reed Montgomery is once again faced with this reality. With his wife in the hospital and her life in the balance. Reed Montgomery, retired and disgraced, must once again search out the perpetrators of the crime. Bringing members of the Prosecution Force out of retirement, Reed uses all the skill and resources of the team to find and track the killers. This is my first time reading this author and series. Not knowing the background from the earlier works did not hamper my ability to follow the story and can be enjoyed by anyone first coming across this author and series. I enjoyed the story very much and will be looking for other works by this author.
This was such a great entry into the political thriller genre. The tension builds with each successive chapter, with action packed sequences blended in with political maneuvering and character building. This is the first of the Prosecution Force series that I’ve read, but this book definitely made me want to go back and start the series from Book 1!
The writing in general is good, the characters are excellent, and the plot is good, but the first half of the book is almost all descriptions and no action.
Genre: Thriller
Review: This was a well written thriller that had some good movement. It was just predictable and somewhat boring. The characters were patterned after most movies where time is running out as terrorists implement their evil plans. Throw in a president an Ice cold CIA Deputy Director and an international caste of spies and Bingo! a movie is born.
Hard pass on this series.
Rating: 2.5/5
Reed’s just gotta be Reed. It does make any difference if the Force has been officially disbanded or not. When America is under attack, he has to take control—and once again he does. The faces of the opposition may change, but Reed’s determination and skills are once again put on display in this high octane, fast-paced action thriller..
