Conceiving an ingenious scheme to turn a notorious godfather's Colombian drug cartel into a global power, Jorge Cordoba uses a freighter to transport cocaine, but when Naval lieutenant Daniel Blake finds the freighter laden with cash, drugs, and a dead crew, a war between good and evil ensues. Reprint.
Reads like an old golden age crime comic book. A cartel member lives large, with women and all kinds of luxuries we can only dream of, while the putative hero goes through horrors trying to stop him.
I love sea stories and this was a good one! Great characters lots of action. It all tied together at the end. Many twists too. The hero kept coming up with answers and a lot of luck. Okay, some wildly unusual luck and close calls some might call unbelievable in real life, but fiction isn't real life. No different than Clive Cussler heroes like Dirk Pitt. It's fun and some how makes sense in the context of an exciting read. I hope Medland gets started on his next adventure ,I'm looking forward to it!
I gave this a rating of 5 because it held my interest and was a new storyline for me. I didn't know what was coming next, and I enjoyed the differences in the characters.
I wasn't sure I would like this book, but it sounded intriguing. I was definitely caught up in the story and character development. I decided to follow the author and will be reading his next book soon!
First half was excellent and had great expectations where it would go but the obligatory love story took a lot of the wind out of the sails. And the added adoption.....not necessary.
