Cris De Niro and The Watchman Agency return to rescue one of their own. Scipio has been taken prisoner and is being held in the notorious Iranian Evin prison. With the U.S. and Iran on the brink of war, only De Niro himself can save him, but not without the help of an adversary. Complicating matters, De Niro also learns of the existence of top-secret plans, code-named “Project 111,” outlining the placement of a nuclear bomb inside an Iranian missile. De Niro & company must find a way to free Scipio, snatch the plans from the North Korean embassy in Tehran, and escape with their lives.
At home, an old Korean War hero vows to avenge the death of his granddaughter at the hands of a ruthless gang leader. ARCHANGEL is sent to the tough streets of Chicago to protect him, but they soon find that a man’s courage and valor do not diminished with age.
I absolutely loved this book. There's a lot of action and a great plot line. Honestly, the writing style of this book reminds me of Clive Cussler's book Plague Ship which is another favorite. The characters were well written and I loved the way the characters warped things as they went along, flying by the seat of their pants to get out of jams. There was only one part of the book that I did not enjoy but I won't say which part. Don't want to spoil it.
Gerard De Marigny is a great political thriller author. Project 111 as well as the previous three books in this series did not disappoint. He draws you in from the beginning and you can't put the book down until you have finished. Unfortunately I can't begin the next book yet as Amazon is a little slow right now. This time I have ordered books 5, 6 & 7. Can't wait to get them. I promise you will not be sorry you started this series!
Following on from Rise to the Call, Cris de Niro and his watchman agency are back, when one of his own men has disappeared, de Niro is worried and has to call in a lot of favours from prominent statesman to achieve his goal. De Niro also receives a call from an old Korean War hero to help protect his granddaughter from the hands of a gang leader .
Again the master story teller has the reader enthralled and involved in the novel . The author knowledge and research is evident thorough out and adds spice to the adventure .
The characters resolve show that through the trial and ordeal, friendship and survival are the most important things in every one lives. The contacts de Niro has to use show when you do someone a favour on it's return it comes back twofold.
In the book the different ideologies that the main protagonists have shine through, but as you make an enemy a friend it shows that respect and tact can win the day.
Another masterpiece from this author. The way the characters are growing is amazing but you also develop your own personnel attachment with each one .
There is more emotion felt in this book as you really find out what a true leader Cris De Niro is and what he feels about all the people who work for him are worth.
This author is now on my reading list along with Lee Child, Peter Robinson and Ian Rankin.
As I posted on Amazon website, this was a great entertaining book with a great paced story that has plenty of thrills, suspence, and action. At the end of the book, I was left wanting more of the story. I look forward to more of de Marigny novels. Even with tough times with money, I still manage to budget a few books each year and Gerard de Marigny is top of my list.
