In Quantum Fear, former clandestine agent Clayton Wolfe leads an unconventional team to find and secure a free-energy device that could revolutionize or destroy the world.
Thriller novelist, Lawrence Earle Johnson, has returned to reside in beautiful Traverse City, after retiring from long careers in criminal justice and higher education. Earning degrees in both Criminal Justice and Psychology, Johnson was a street cop, worked in intelligence and organized crime, and provided security for U.S. presidents and foreign heads of state. He has also been a highly-regarded college professor in both Michigan and Georgia.
Passionate about science fiction novels from an early age, Johnson recently began a second career as a crime/thriller novelist. Johnson draws upon his education and wealth of professional experience to pen novels filled with conspiracy, political intrigue, and life-and-death situations.
I found Quantum Fear less satisfying than Death Sine. The humor seemed forced in most cases and some of the story elements were hokey and a little too convenient to be believable which made it difficult to read. I did, however, like the overall moral of the story and thought the book made some good points about human nature.
I like the action context that made you wanting more. I didn't care for excessive detailing of the of each problem. I found myself skipping paragraphs and not missing a beat. All in all it is an enjoyable read.
Johnson delivers his second action-packed technothriller with a solid punch! While Quantum Fear is the sequel to his acclaimed novel, Death Sine, you do not have to read the first book to enjoy this one. (But I *highly* recommend that you do! Could NOT put it down.)
In Quantum Fear, Johnson brought back my favorite cast of characters from the first book and added a few kick*ss teammates and a few ruthless foes to the mix. This book has several twists and turns that had me cheering or gasping out loud! It was an exciting, fast-paced novel that kept me in suspense, as several groups of covert government and international agents raced against one another to locate a professor and his device that could be used to revolutionize or destroy the world. Loved it! Well done!
