Windfall
To all appearances, Seth Tatton is a middle-of-the-pack attorney just keeping his head above water. But he has a side job, killing people for shadowy cabal of politicians, billionaires and military leaders. With each assignment, he learns more about their plot and their aims, and he grows more intrigued.
Even in his secret life, things are not what they seem, because there’s something inside of Seth. And it has big plans for him, plans that it and others like it have nursed for centuries. But when Seth is assigned to watch a troubled young woman, all of those plans fall into question.

This is just a weird book. In my opinion there is just too much going on.
There's the political aspect, with a bunch of politicians and other legal types gathering together to kick-start another civil war.
There's the thriller aspect with the main character being a lawyer by day and an assassin by night.
There's the supernatural aspect with said lawyer assassin also being possessed.
The author should have gone with the civil war thread or the possession one. Including both is just too much strange. The book was too long and I was just barely interested by the end. I just read it at night before bed to quiet my mind. The author attempted to make both the lawyer and the spirit sympathetic, but I didn't feel bad for the spirit ever and I didn't start to kinda empathize with the lawyer until about 90% through.
The spirit was pretty disgusting and I never once felt an ounce of sympathy for him/it. Great chunks of the book are devoted to telling the spirit's backstory and a lot of detail goes in to the various people it has possessed and what it did to them, or what it did to random people on the street. Again, it was too much weird, on top of being really gross and off-putting.
I would not recommend this one.

The paranormal part was not my cup of tea,but I enjoyed the Political Thriller. I would have given 4 or 5 stars if the paranormal was deleted!

Windfall is an intriguing tale. It's unusual, one thing which recommends it, in addition to the author's writing style which is direct but gripping. The plot kept turning! While it is about possession it covers a much broader swath philosophically not to say theologically than the usual tale about the possessed person who is released (or not) by a professional shaman or exorcist. This tale explores a more contemporary (yet ancient) version of possession for the reader to try on for size: does this shoe fit? The protagonist doesn't seem to struggle with his captor but goes with it no matter what he has to do to keep it happy. However, he struggles from seizures during which he does who knows what - he recalls nothing. Did "the devil make him do it?" Or did he just want to? The story proceeds to explore the price one truly pays for evil and how one might escape it. A brilliant novel, I liked it very much and look forward to reading more this talented author's work. Highly recommend!

Windfall.
Very complex. The brokentooth was tough to read and the political plot hard to figure out. However even with all that, I enjoyed reading it.

Contrary to some of the other reviews, I rather enjoyed the intertwined genres. Intrigue, adventure, supernatural, interesting explanations for historical events...good stuff.

Definitely a nail biter!
This is a fast paced novel about Seth, a divorced lawyer, who becomes a very well-paid "fixer" for a powerful cabal of ultra-libertarian politicians and billionaires hellbent on fomenting civil war for fun, profit, power and glory! Seth has gradually come to realize he has been "possessed"since his early teens, by an ancient evil spirit who longs to be restored to the glorious days of his former existence as a minor pagan deity. The demon, who can slip into the body a troubled soul and influence their decisions, was displaced from his own corporeal existence eons ago by advent of the "new religion" of Christianity. As people gradually forgot the old gods, the demon drifted through time for many years, occasionally occupying other humans, but eventually losing its "hosts" when they died off, or managed to force it out of their bodies. Meanwhile, Seth becomes more and more suspicious of the bigwigs' political plans and hatches a plan to foil the cabalists and save the country. If you enjoy action-packed, political thrillers with a twist, (like Grisham's "The Firm," then you might just want to check this one out. I read it non-stop; just couldn't put it down!

Demons, Conspiracy, Murder
You won't be able to put down this book, nor figure out what is going to happen to the main character, Seth. This novel contains an intricate web of demon possession, anti-government intrigue, along with murder. The reader finds himself or herself tossed back and forth in a loathing for, or compassion for Seth as he winds through the complex situation in which he finds himself. A must read.

An intriguing story
Seth, a lawyer, gets himself into a scenario of murder, conspiracy and ambition. He is being employed by an ex Senator to cover up the murder of another Senator's girlfriend. Both Senators are on a quest to take over ultimate governmental power because of their foreknowledge of a way of extracting oil from shale thus giving them the opportunity to set update a virtual new country totally under their power.

Seth Tatton is a "middle-of-the-pack attorney" struggling to help his suburban family keep up with the Joneses. Through his firm, he becomes a fixer; he gets things done no matter what the job entails. He's clean, methodical, and a stickler for detail. The opening of Windfall introduces us to Seth and his accomplice, William, while out on a job. Seth is clearly in charge and instructs William to wait in the car while he approaches a target that can help cover up a murder committed by a client. Posing as a police detective, Seth conducts the interview with aplomb. His knowledge of the law enables him to play the part, extracting all the information from the target for Seth to construct the perfect coverup.
Seth's boss is part of a cabal of the wealthy and political elite who are scheming to take control of several western states and secede from the Union. Culled from the political chatter that's out there now, I wouldn't be surprised if it went down like this. The cabal recruits governors, senators, CEOs, assorted VIPs and military figures with the promise of them becoming a cadre of new Founding Fathers. Unburdened by D.C. debt, this new country will be prosperous thanks to an unusual shale oil discovery. All they need to do is put the right people in positions of power and arm the militias. But secret organizations need skilled specialists on the ground to make things happen and that's where Seth comes in.
As Seth completes each assignment, he picks up bits and pieces of the cabal's plan. He's drawn deeper inside the organization and meets the key players and listens to their plans and dreams. Part of him is on board with the plan; part of him questions whether it will lead to a bloodbath.
While it might seem that Seth is a cold-blooded killer, he isn't. He buries his guilt deep down inside with the help of alcohol and something that dwells within him. It was this paranormal element that drew me in and makes this thriller stand out from every other political thriller out there. This entity is his steadfast companion. It suggests courses of action and prods him forward on an amoral path that will see Seth rise to greatness.
Seth is assigned to keep an eye on Sarah, the plaything of a powerful Senator in the cabal. She's a mess and Seth falls for her, much to the chagrin of the thing within him. She threatens to unravel the Gordian Knot that has kept his conscience in check. Dodds could've played the old devil on one shoulder, angel on the other bit but doesn't. Instead, Dodds sends Seth stumbling along a hazy path of morality with a malfunctioning compass that takes him through a maze of airports, hotel rooms and casinos in search of his identity.
While the novel's focus is on Seth and his mysterious companion, Dodds gives us an interesting bunch of characters. Even those that have a bit part to play are well-defined, leaving the reader to wonder if they'll be back for more. But the crux of the novel is the relationship dynamic between Seth and the thing that dwells within him. Through a series of flashbacks, we learn about Seth's companion from its point of view and how the two came together. Rather than relying on some cheap cardboard cutout of evil, Dodds crafts a unique being with an intriguing origin story.
Besides some comma issues, my only real complaint would be with the climax. There are three figures that Seth needs to deal with on his journey, but he only handles two of them. The third is taken care of by someone else. I would've liked to have seen him handle all three, but the way the story unfolds it would seem that the logistics weren't possible. While I would've liked to have seen how that went down, considering what that character shared with Seth, I still found the ending satisfying. I don't want to spoil it, but Mr. Dodds and readers of Windfall will know who I am talking about.
Windfall is not your typical political thriller. Dodds deftly weaves in a solid paranormal thread that explores ambition, myth and morality in an indifferent America without resorting to pulpit thumping or cardboard villains. His protagonist wanders through the amoral battleground of the American political class with a spirit guide whose theme song could very well be "Sympathy for the Devil".

Big Money and Big Ambition
Seth is an attorney, a divorced father of a girl, and becomes adept at moving around between cities where he finds his acquisition of killing skills very useful.

There were things to like about Windfall, but in the end it tried to do too much, and in so doing, left me feeling disappointed.
The book starts as a crime novel where a lawyer has moved into being a “fixer” for a dark organization. Then, it moves to fantasy with a group of ancient humans who have become disembodied spirits who have possessed people and caused wars and conflicts through the ages. Finally, it is a political thriller about a group of people looking to foment a civil war in the modern US. Any one of these stories would have been worthwhile, and the writer’s skill in storytelling for them would have made them worth reading.
However, the fact that he jams these three plots together is jarring and, in my opinion, doesn’t work. The early chapters are confusing and the switch from plot to plot is jarring, making it so I put the book aside more often that I like to try to digest what was going on. It’s one thing to build up suspense with a mystery, but the different elements clashed making me confused as to what one section had to do with another. I would get caught up in one part of the novel only to have the plot veer off into another direction and derail any interest I had.
Something like this can work if the conclusion pulls all of the elements together in the end, but the three main conflicts all seem to be dismissed so effortlessly that any of the suspense built dissipates, almost as if the story has gotten tired of them and just wants to rush them off the stage. By the time I got to the end, I was left unsatisfied and wondering why such huge story elements were able to be dismissed with authorial hand waving.
I would read a crime novel or a political thriller by this author if an editor would step in and guide through some of the problems with plot and a tough hand on sticking to the story rather than meanderings that go nowhere.
A flawed novel and not recommended.

Seth’s voice within the story is raw. The thing within him rages and controls. There is deep symbolic meaning within the story that I am not sure is meant as a warning or to provide a deeper understanding of the nature of humanity. Dark forces seek Civil War and there rages within Seth a private civil war between this foreign invader and his consciousness. Will the concept of war serving only in one’s own self-interest appeal to this character? The reader may think not but Seth isn’t always thinking for himself.
Petronius is my favorite character of the piece. He has lived a long time and experienced history and in a lot of ways shaped where humanity has gone and where it’s going and that is very much a high for this special character. He is not infallible. He makes mistakes and recognizes them and in many ways is determined not to make them again. For Petronius there is power in being and he will make the biggest mark he can. What forces in our daily life could stand in the place of Petronius? The media? Our friends? Who is trying to start a war in our day with hatemongering? “Windfall” makes you think.
The story line flow of “Windfall” is action packed and fairly logical. Our main characters have clear goals and those who don’t have the script aren’t wallowing in the foggy landscape. Smart people compliment the smart and direct narrative in a way that keeps a reader fairly engaged and eager to turn the page to discover the next big move from these compelling leads. “Windfall” is cleanly written and could easily stand up against the more famous works of the genre.

I gave up after about 50 pages or so.
This book seems to have a 1970s (or thereabouts) sensibility. The main character is some sort of government (or perhaps some other organization) operative who blackmails people, occasionally kills as few of them, travels around with a suitcase of cash and weapons and stays in anonymous hotels, flies a lot (both commercial and private) and meets up with various unsavory characters, as well as flirting with or sleeping with various women he meets along the way, drinking bourbon at every turn. See what I mean? There's some sort of major scheme involved, maybe it's a tech breakthrough, or a political coup or whatever. Very tedious and I felt like I'd read it a dozen times before. Not in the least compelling.
The generic thriller plot is punctuated by repeated mention of "the thing inside him" wanting him to do or not do something. At first I took it as a clumsy bit of characterization, but apparently it is meant literally; he is actually possessed by some sort of evil spirit, which was revealed in an early chapter that I took to be a flashback to his childhood.
Unfortunately, the combination of a boilerplate action thriller with a demonic (?) possession plot had not gone anywhere remotely interesting by page 50 (of 340) so I bailed. Lots of books on the "to read" shelf. I don't even remember buying this - it might have been a Kindle freebie, which Amazon throws me every now and then. My take: unless you are particularly enamored of either of these genres, skip it.

This book has a lot going on, and to be honest it was too much. A tale of a lawyer-by-day and assassin-by-night for the "government"? Down. But there are a lot of other elements, including the weird supernatural component, that just didn't jive with everything else.
Perhaps I am not the target demographic for this author, but I did not enjoy this book nor the demeaning way that the main character treated women. Perhaps Dodds was emulating James Bond a bit in the development of Seth, but it fell short.

Unique thriller with possessed assassin
Never before have I read such a fast paced thriller like Windfall. The demon who possesses Seth gives the book such a great flavor, two plots intertwine perfectly and realistically despite the supernatural aspect, that this reader started rooting for Seth, the "bad guy." Well written and no typos -- thank the editing God's!!!

Some authors have a way of capturing your attention from the get go. This author missed the boat. Boring from page one. Story line butterball over. Go so bad, I abandoned the book in its early stages. Good luck to anyone wishing to he bored.

I nearly gave up on the book after the first 40 odd pages as I really wasn't too sure what the hell I was reading plus I disliked the protagonist. I stuck with it out of morbid curiosity and begun to see the threads that made up the book. It's a political thriller with a supernatural aspect and, to a degree, also a story about redemption. I can't say I warmed much towards the protagonist and I thought the supernatural element was a tad superfluous, mankind is capable of great evil without any extra help from devils, demons or spirits, but the tale of murder, corruption and unabashed political ambition didn't seem too far fetched, unfortunately.

If you have ever wondered what may really go on behind the scenes... this is THAT book!
When people in power just make things... 'Happen'. When things go from a power-play, to changing what IS the government or reality of a country..
Then there is a more pondering question for a person from any background...
What makes a person go from ok to losing what most call reality? What is that reality?
This was a very busy book, one that I had to really pay attention to, or I would lose what was going on where and by whom.
I loved the ending...
Thank you, Colin Dodds for a really great story!

(Won this book on Goodreads) A man and his demons. A lawyer who is mixed up in the hitman business and his quest to try and make peace with it. The book was very slow, for me, in the beginning but slowly took up speed. The characters were easy to understand and relate to. I am assuming the second book will answer a few more questions that were left open in this book.

Paranormal thrillers are usually right up my alley. It didn't home my interest and I couldn't get into this one. I even set it aside and restated it a couple of weeks later. Didn't have enough to keep me reading it and I didn't finish which is unusual for me.

Hard to believe...stressed, divorced, dad is possessed by spirit. He takes on role of 'fix it man' for rich politicians, billionaires, government. He falls for target.

Good start
The start was really good . Found it difficult to finish. As I lost interest in the plot. Some good ideas and subjects explored.
