NSA agents Alton and Mallory Blackwell join the search for missing colleague and friend David Dunlow. The investigation into Dunlow’s disappearance leads them into the midst of a shocking international conspiracy: finance ministers from around the world are being targeted in a carefully planned series of assassinations.
The Blackwells must piece together a complex and multi-layered puzzle to discover THE NETWORK’s end game…before the shadowy organization strikes again.
Thriller/mystery author Steve Freeman is a former member of the US Army's Signal Corps, a thirty-four-year employee of a large American technology company, and an avid traveler who has visited every continent but Antarctica. His novels draw from firsthand knowledge of military service, the tech industry, and the diverse cultures of our world.
He currently lives near Atlanta, Georgia with his wife, daughter, and four dogs.
When I started this book I did not realize it was part of the Alton and Mallory Blackwell file. But as I got into it, I realized that I knew and liked these characters from previous escapades. I'm glad I picked it up because this crew always leaves you wanting more adventure and intrigue. It is a fun ride with thrills and spills galore. I highly recommend reading if you enjoy adventure with a touch of humor and danger.
The network by Freeman. Another cliffhanger by the Blackwells and others as they deal with an assassin. South America features but so does India, Roma and Geneva so name a few as they try to follow some assassins. The bottom line is an interesting loan and who will live to tell the tale. This was my second reading.
As with the seven previous books of this author that I have read, this one was also an excellent , fast-paced thriller albeit of a different nature involving significant interactions of geopolitical and economic interests coupled with corruption, collusion and dictatorial practices among a handful of countries in South America. The only negative I would point out is that there are still editorial issues.
The network by Steve Freeman is his latest adventure of husband and wife, the Blackwells. We are taken around Europe and South America on a quest to find who is doing assassinations and why. It's a little confusing but eventually the 'why' is shown along with an assassin who doesn't kill them. But there are other hit squads to contend with. All in all, a cracking tale.
