Mark Godwin’s third installment of his Black Swan trilogy is a fast-paced series of victories and setbacks for his impetuous hero-in-the-making, Shane Black. This is a no-holds-barred glimpse of how bad things could easily become in post US America. Better yet is that there’s no bad language or depictions of sex scenes.
Review from Black Dahlia Avenger →
I hoped this incredible story would have been told with much less ‘reading’ from police reports. With such an outrageous story, the book is boring and told in monotone.
Review from A Spy’s Guide to Strategy →
Like a lot of other reviewers noted, the content was very enjoyable and interesting, but extremely repetitive and just too little to be called a “book”. It’s more like a single episode of a podcast, rather than a book, per se… I don’t feel cheated because I was able to buy this on an audible..
Boyd’s work is quickly becoming some of my favorite in this genre. His straightforward and down to earth writing style is enjoyable to read and keeps you in the story. I appreciate how he gets into just enough detail without saturating the reader with too much technical data or specifications. There is enough there to..
Review from Precious Victims →
I was wondering why every cop was magically a precog and why a story that could have been told in an hour or two on a podcast with more life was told so dryly in 15 flipping hours. I stuck through it because I was doing inventory but hard pass on this one ever again…
Review from The War →
Louis L’Amour of the apocalyptic genre. Never really develops into a climactic ending. Too bad, good story, great reader.
Review from Carrion →
This particular Mark Goodwin novel he is a bit shorter than his previous works, but it is a real page-turner. If you like Mark Goodwin’s other books, he will probably like this one as well. The story is fast-paced catch and somewhat more believable than some of his other stories, in certain ways. A good..
Review from If I Can’t Have You: →
I had a hard time listening to this audiobook, both the narration and content seemed to drone on and on and I had a hard time maintaining interest. While I was interested in the content, I felt it was poorly presented and I found myself thinking “get to the point!”
Review from Turbulent →
Similar to Red Dawn. Good read. Good narration.Enjoyed this story. Will read the others as well. I may not buy them, most likely will borrow from library or buy at used book store. If you liked Red Dawn or other books/movies with this story line, you’ll enjoy this book as well. Fast paced, good characters,..
Honestly i don’t know where to start. Within a day of a terrorist attack in book one, cops are randomly shooting people at a truck stop. Within a week, they are emptying jails and implementing capital punishment without trial. By the time a few weeks go buy in book two, everyone (except our heros) is..
