First Thrill

by Steve Richer

Jeff Riley is out on his first mission overseas. It was supposed to be a simple surveillance job. Nobody was supposed to get killed. Go to Paris, get evidence against the corrupt French politician, that was the plan. But before he gets accustomed to his new intelligence duties, the young CSE officer is kidnapped by terrorists. And thus starts a chain of events that will forever change his life... and the face of the earth. Jeff is forced to dig into a conspiracy involving South American rebels, a stolen military prototype, and a ruthless Canadian spy. With the help of a beautiful and spunky reporter, Jeff needs to piece the puzzle together before a new weapon system falls into the wrong hands. Before terrorists take over Venezuela and, possibly, the world.

[Scott · Rating 4 out of 5]

Though a bit dated, this was a very good thriller with a complex plot and interesting characters. I enjoyed reading the story and was pretty well pulled into the experience after the first 1/3 of the book. I like the voice that the author uses and I also like that his characters aren't always super heroes or super spies or something like that.

While not Richer's best work (it is a first novel), it told a interesting and fun story.

[Kim Munson · Rating 5 out of 5]

First off don't skip over the author's note at the front of the book. After that hold on to your hat because you are in for a fast paced thrill from beginning to end. Once again Mr. Richer takes you into the world of international espionage. This time with a rookie who is both well read and persistent, but has literally no field experience. Another great read! Highly recommend to all who love a fast paced thriller.
