Dark Alliance

Wow another cracker from the Master author in these series and if you like these titles I reckon it would not be possible for you not to like this one. Unusual format in these titles where the opening section is maybe a third to half way through the actual title and the focus of the title constantly moves from the past to the present until it regains sequence. I actually enjoyed this type of format which has not been done many times at all in these combined series. Excellent reading here folks where you WILL be rapidly drawn into the storyline and be wondering what the overall plot actually is but it is only slowly leaked by the author to keep the suspense going. As usual excellent characters introduced with the Drug Baron probably the stand out but SO MANY others to interest and captivate that you will actually remember each and every one of them before the Big Guy takes them out. The title reads like silk (as usual) no flicking back a couple of pages here to try to recall what happened previously or who a character is that is being mentioned. If you like these titles and wish to read a title which will captivate you, blow you away and give you an insight into how good some of these titles can actually be look no further. One minor whinge whilst the Big Guy has the cannon on his hip constantly he never uses it once through the title but not enough to deduct a star. The author has been doing these for a while now and notice the difference compared to other long term authors who ran out of ideas years ago and release crap that we the readers are expected to accept even though it has been done so many times before. NOT here brilliant title WELL DONE Mike another blockbuster and HIGHLY recommended reading from this reviewer. Do yourself a favour and grab this one.

The usual solid read from Linaker. This one was a bit different in that it jumped back and forth between past and present, leading up to Bolan's capture. A change of pace, but it worked well. Action scenes were high quality, and I enjoyed the return of the hitman Capstone from War Drums. The only thing I thought might be different was the Maggie Connor character. I thought we might get to meet her, but alas, not to be. Did want to know the manner in which she was killed, but info was very vague.

This one was Great. I really liked the jumping around with the timeline in this, it was really refreshing to read. Eh Kay says "check it out!"
