Gun: Newton's Law
VANCOUVER: Cities are dangerous places for cops trying to do their jobs against a new breed of vicious criminals armed with assault weapons and with no compunction for who gets killed. Outgunned, police have to get creative to survive.
In GUN, Vancouver cop Riggs Becker engages in a life-and-death chase with a psychopathic Russian mob boss. After his family is brutalized and his beautiful partner kidnapped and bound for a slave market, an enraged Becker seeks retribution. But stripped of gun and badge, he's alone and exposed.
He gets unexpected help from an eccentric genius billionaire with an agenda of his own and from retired special forces types who know how to even the playing field. The nonstop action climaxes with a showdown on a 9-11 scale and in keeping with Newton's Law of life and physics: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In a world where the law moves too slowly and often not at all, men sometimes have to make their own laws. In GUN, transgressors will pay, and the price is high.
GUN is ripped from today's headlines, making the fiction indistinguishable from facts: nearly 12,000 people are murdered with guns each year in North America -- that's 33 people each and every day. A cool new feature for enhanced eBooks is the ability to include live web links in the storyline. In GUN, just by clicking links, you can see the guns in action that the mobsters and police use. There's also video footage about real-life shootouts caught on camera, and articles on gun violence, the global sex trade, and more.

Gun violence is a hot topic in the news and while it's known everywhere that the U.S. death rate from guns is astronomical (31,500 people dead each year = 85 per day), this book looks at gun violence in Canada where gangs are becoming more of a problem, in this case the Russian mob. This book is pretty much nonstop action and less educational than Bareham's former PROGENETER series. But the writing and scene sequencing is every bit as good. Great read for those who like intelligent police/crime stories that are more than shoot em ups.
