Description

Arthur Kerns, a former intelligence officer, returns with his most explosive Hayden Stone adventure yet.

"Kerns takes his readers into the shadowy world of international terrorism. Hayden Stone is a character worth rooting for, and Arthur Kerns is a talented storyteller." —Sheldon Siegel, New York Times bestselling author.

CIA operative Hayden Stone has his work cut out for him. Abdul Wahab seeks to make a power grab in the exotic land of Yemen and establish a terrorist base from which to launch an attack on Europe.

Wahab lures Stone to Yemen by kidnapping his partner CIA officer Sandra Harrington in Sicily. Stone comfortably operates in this world where tribal leaders vie for power with the central government, al Qaeda exerts its influence through murder and mayhem, and double-dealing among Bedouin and townspeople is a national pastime.

And the light from the merciless desert sun can cloak the most potent of weapons.

The cat and mouse game goes from the capital Sana’a, to the deserts in the far east of the country, and to the mountain villages in the north. Stone has a personal stake in this mission, but can never keep his eye off of the greater plot developing, the one that puts millions in peril, and that only he can stop.

John P, Reviewer

“The Yemen Contract” eBook was published in 2016 and was written by Arthur Kerns (http://www.arthurkerns.com). This is Mr. Kerns third novel and the third in his “Hayden Stone Thriller” series.

I categorize this novel as ‘PG’ because it contains scenes of Violence. Most of the story is set in Yemen. the primary character is Hayden Stone, a former CIA employee, and now contracting with them when needed.

Terrorist Abdul Wahab is both seeking power as well as the death of Stone. Wahab sets one trap after another for Stone, often using Stones friends as bait. Stone seems to always maneuver his way free, though not without serious injury.

Western Intelligence thinks that Wahab has been turned, but his efforts are far from helpful. Stone and Wahab tangle time an again.

This was a good read of just over 7 hours for the 242 page novel. This wasn’t the best Thriller, but I did enjoy it. Unlike some, it kept most of the action believable. While this was the third novel in the series, it read well on its own. I give this novel a 4.4 (rounded down to a 4) out of 5.

My book reviews are also published on Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/31181778-john-purvis).
