Vick “ The Reaper” Harwood is back...From the dead, that is.
The Reaper’s new mission has been adjusting to the comforts and the new life he’s obtained since fleeing to Mexico. But, after discovering the mysterious government entity known as THE BOARD, an organization responsible for the murder of his girlfriend, Maria Constrera, and with dark connections to his past, Harwood is quickly forced back into a life of death and destruction. THE BOARD, standing for Broad Oversight and Research Development, was tasked with one mission—maintaining and influencing the global economic demand and those positioned at the top. However, they’re most distinguished by their proficiency in counterintelligence, assassinations, and covert manipulation. The agents employed by THE BOARD hold positions within the CIA, NSA, White House, and British Secret Intelligence, more commonly referred to as MI6. Highly qualified in their crafts, they achieve their goals by utilizing crime, drugs, human trafficking, and nefariously manipulating foreign and domestic governments.
It’s a cross-border race against time if Vick Harwood wants to dismantle and stop THE BOARD’s sinister plot against him and the country he’s sworn to defend from all enemies. Foreign and domestic.
It took me awhile to get around to reading Reaper: The Board by Nicholas Irving. I am glad he wrote another book about Vick Harwood. This is a high speed thriller that is hard to put down and even though Vick tries to get away in a 4 cylinder V6 I found the plot great. I don't know if there will be more books in this series but the ending leaves room for it. If you fans of military thrillers need something to read I can recommend that you try the four books about The Reaper. He has also written some non fiction stuff if you are into that.
