Drake Alexander Adventures #2
Wall of War
Deep in the wilderness of the Peruvian Andes lies a monument hidden for centuries. Who were the builders? Why was it abandoned? What secrets does it reveal?
In 1953, an amateur rock climber makes a startling discovery. Overwhelmed by the choices he must make, the mountaineer completes his ascent deciding he will document his findings and present them to his superiors as soon as possible. It will take another fifty years before anyone reads what he wrote.
In 2004 news of the strange revelation reaches Drake Alexander. He will become involved whether he likes it or not. People very dear to him are plunged into a nightmare of avarice, impairment and death. Using all his skills as an ex-soldier, with accomplices he can trust, can he save his tormented friends from the raiders that thirst for the secret that lies within the mountains?

Great read. Well written and keeps you turning the pages.

I'm new to this writer and at first, I found the writing style a little unusual. However, the book is so action-packed and compelling from the outset that my concerns about the narrative voice faded to nothing very quickly.
The plot twists and turns throughout and kept me guessing to the very end. I did wonder about the demise of one of the baddies, thinkg that his end was just too good for him. But, as a reader, I know I can't always have the story go where I want it to go!
The central character, Drake Alexander, is very much a 'bloke's bloke'. But his softer side comes through and he had me hooked.
Of course, I've done what I often do with series : not started at the beginning! My only excuse is that i recognised the stylised ancient god on the cover. But I will be going back to read the first book and the subsequent stories, in order.

Thrilling, action-packed adventure!
A magnificent discovery leads Drake Alexander and his team to follow a trail of greed and murder in this excellent crime-solving novel. Kudos to Allan Hudson for a fast-paced, intriguing page turner.

Wall of War is a taut, intriguing, action-filled adventure novel perfect for long winter nights (or summer beach reading). Full review here: http://bit.ly/wallofwar
