Peter Blake Chronicles: Book 1 Peter Retires

by Timothy Newnes

Peter Blake is a former British Royal Marine. Trained for Mountain, Arctic, Jungle and Undersea specialist operations, Peter was among the best in his field. After 22 Years Peter leaves the Armed Forces on retirement, broken hearted from the loss of his wife years earlier. Loss was the reason Peter threw caution to the wind, accepting the most dangerous missions, taking unacceptable risks with his life and working himself into an oblivion that helped numb the pain of loss.

In this, book one we get a sense of who Peter is and what his abilities are as he joins his co-lead protagonist in future books ‘the unknown civilian woman’. The two are engaged with Special Forces in a race against time to stop a madman from setting a course that could end the lives of millions.

I loved this short action-packed read. It was fast-paced, explosive (literally) and flowed nicely from start to finish. The descriptive narratives were terrific and allowed you to easily see the scenes in front of you. I really like the characters and hope that Captain Sam will be joining Peter Blake on his missions.

I hope the next in the series is released soon!

I enjoyed this quick read which seems to be sort of introduction to the characters, especially Peter. There is a lot of backstory about his life and why he is the way he is. I enjoyed this and am looking forward to perhaps more of the story of Peter in a longer book. I hope so.

Bought the book from Amazon on a whim, I was pleasantly surprised at how easily I was brought into the story and how quickly I connected with the main characters. Really enjoyed the book, and I'm looking forward to more in the future.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

Not my usual genre but it was a welcome surprise at how easily I was able to connect with the main character, and how that connection quickly turned into support. I enjoyed the book greatly and look forward to future books.

A good read with an interesting plot, that goes along at a cracking rate. It left me wanting more, much more. Looking forward to book two that must follow.

I received this book from a friend in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed the book, it took me a few pages to get engrossed into the story but after I started I couldn't put it down. The plot is strong and characters are interesting.
