I'm an avid "Thriller" reader and I know there is a balance between the "thrill" of a good action adventure and "believability." A good fiction writer knows how important it is for the reader to be able to validate the "action" elements in their own minds. In other words, as you read, you say to yourself; "Hey, I think this could really happen!" I found myself saying the opposite throughout this book. I have to say I did feel compassion for poor "Jess" (the damsel in distress). She moved from one threatening situation to another. I found myself wondering when or if our "hero" was ever going to rescue her. What happened to her? Her father? The football team? And most importantly, did our widowed "hero" ever reunite with his young children who were left behind so that adrenaline pumping adventures could be pursued? What kind of a "good-guy" father does that? No immediate closure on so many key elements of this story line. I know that some of these questions may be answered in the author's "next in series." But I won't know this. I'll be moving on. I believe Mr. Stone has potential but he needs to keep working at it.

just plain bad

Once again an author has a great first book, with a realistic character in realistic situations..only to turn it into crap that continually leaves you shaking your head at the shear stupidity…horrible book. If it wasn’t for my OCD and the need to finish a book I start, I’d have quit when Jack didn’t kill his arch nemesis just so’he could get in his head so he’d make a mistake’…the whole book was riddled with dumb scenarios….

Fast moving thriller.

A mission that has Kane and Craven employed to protect a father and daughter who own a football club close to promotion to the premier league. An assignment that at first looked easy become difficult as a face from Kane’s past who he thought was dead kidnaps the daughter as a means to extract revenge on Kane while earning financial reward from the Russians wanting control of the club.

Brilliant

Brilliant from start to finish. On the edge of my seat with the turning of every page. Great story, great action. A fine thriller from page one. What's next for Tom Kane ?

Kane is not a man, a creature wrapped in the skin of a human

He’s stabbed, shot, concussed and generally has the ++++ beaten out of him, but he always gets up, like the superhero he is. Drivel and overwrought heroism.

Same

Still action packed, mostly unbelievable. Not so many female villains as before. Sure wish Stone would change it up a bit.
