Ben Lewis Thriller #3
The Markov Encryption: Ben Lewis, Book 3
Ben Lewis. Blackmailed by a dead man. Hunted by armed killers. All because of Gunter Markov, a gifted North Korean hacker. Someone who has posted encrypted secrets online - supposedly the hack to end all hacks. Deadly secrets. The sort many seem suddenly only too willing to kill for. Lewis finds himself unexpectedly the one person alive able to decrypt Markov’s coded hack. As a nationwide manhunt is launched to find Lewis, his former girlfriend, Holly, goes missing, presumed kidnapped. Will Lewis be able to find Holly before it is too late? Or will others get to Lewis - and the encryption key - first? Especially those increasingly desperate to ensure that Markov’s encrypted secrets remain buried forever.

About the author
David N. Robinson
8 books12 followersA while ago, I was a partner and chief operating officer in a major accounting firm, and latterly held the same role in an international law firm. It took me 36 years and several million air miles to do, arguably, what I should have done several years earlier: give up the day job and focus on a lifelong ambition to write thrillers. Page-turners. Action and adventure stories with twists and turns right to the very last page.
With few parts of the world that I have not seen first-hand, I try to use personal knowledge, connections and a professional interest in technology to craft fast-paced thrillers that are very much set in the real world. Locations that I know personally. Present-day plotlines that try to be as credible and true to life as possible. Fictional backstories to events currently in the public eye.
My wife and I live close to the city of Cambridge, England. Together we support several local charities, including the world-renowned Cambridge Union debating society where I am a trustee.

Ben Lewis is a "new kid" on the block of thrillers! I found him likeable, interesting and not so gungho that I couldn't stand him!
From the moment this story opens, the reader is snapped to attention and not allowed to "wander" throughout. The action is constant and the slightest aberration will make one lose the plot.
Although most international spy stories are complicated - and this one is too - David Robinson ensures that the technical details are not hard to understand.
Well written and I hope there are more Ben Lewis novels coming onto my horizon!

The Markov Encryption -
Book number 3. This was another good book again, with Ben Lewis running around trying to solve clue left for him by an ex military colleague who was killed. The Russians, Chinese and Americans all after what he is looking for and as you can imagine, there is a lot of violence and killings. My only comment is the end slightly disappointed me. However, it sets up book 4. 4.75 out of 5 from me.

An ok read, interest held.
A good read for the most part. A little slow at some points, a little obvious in others. Some was a little over the top (25 broken bones?) . Didn't like an i complete ending.

My first of the Ben Lewis stories and it is a great read. Lots of action, twists and turns keeping you in suspense until the very end, then lures you into the next in the series.
