Description

Will Jordan , born in Scotland in 1983, is the internationally published bestselling author of the Ryan Drake series, and he cowrote the action thriller Deadly Cargo with James Patterson. But this is the second novel of his (the first being "Redemption: Ryan Drake”) that wasn’t exactly a disappointment, but wasn’t memorable, and so I probably won’t want to reread it (which is the criterion I look for when awarding 5 stars). I got emotional as the characters discovered the bad guy, the motivations, and the potential solutions. It’s action packed and has good characters and if I hadn’t read so many books that were similar, I’d have a higher opinion of it.

The main "hero" is extremely unlikeable and his dialogue is so incredibly cringy its hard to imagine someone would be so rude. Pretty ballsy move for one of the Internet’s top film critics to put his own work out there, but this isn’t Will Jordan’s first rodeo. I have read people complain about the accuracy of some of the military parts or the terminology used in them, but I think some of these comments are already beyond the level of what you would expect from an average person, so I think you achieved your goal of reaching an overall audience.This book got me interested in the Dyatlov Pass tragedy and I thought the way it was worked into the story was fascinating.

Jordan’s fixation on the plot also detracts from exploring some interesting themes and arguments, particularly in a post-Covid world. Becker’s Russian handler insists that he tracks Luka and hand him over to them, as he is a valuable asset to the current Russian regime. Characters spend an inordinate amount of time (or at least it certainly feels that way), explaining and re-explaining the same situation for every new character that comes along. There are also a few moments were the logistics and science are just a bit too stretched, I normally wouldn't mind too much but just things like the characters being able to zoom around the world with minimal fuss and there is a very awkward juxtaposition of this book being written before Covid-19, but also being very much based around the idea of a Zombie virus being treated as a disease outbreak. If even more catastrofic events had taken place, perhaps we could have seen more atypical or profound changes in people's behaviour, but that was well beyond the scope of this book.Humvee with random US soldiers driving from Turkey to Syria back to a city in Turkey to shut down a building, with no one asking for credentials and authorizations. He lives in Scotland with his wife and two sons, and is currently writing the next novel in the Ryan Drake series.

Jordan is a brilliant and successful media and film critic on YouTube and I was curious about his books, if only as a way to support his overall work. She (the villain) sounds like a 65 year old Jewish man that’s been smoking a pack of cigarettes a day since birth. Es una novela de acción (otras personas utilizarán el término thriller), que comienza en un recóndito lugar de la Unión Soviética en 1959. Becker along with a WHO doctor, Lori Dalton must prevent the biochemical attack before it's too late.By no means a pretentious snob, Jordan will watch everything and recommend a wide variety of films — classics such as “ Das Boot,” new blockbusters such as “ Top Gun: Maverick,” foreign films such as “ RRR,” or arthouse fare such as “ The Lighthouse. He has a familiar pedigree for this kind of story, a modern techno-thriller that doesn’t rely on any speculative elements to carry the worldbuilding.

Former army ranger and private military contractor Cameron Becker escorts a Russian businessman named Luka Belikov through Baghdad when a group of people dressed as Iraqi soldiers ambushes them. People, people, authors, publishers, if you're going to put your books out there for advance reading, take a moment to create a listing for your book on GR. After graduating high school he moved on to university, gaining an Honors Degree in Information Technology. This is not just diversity for diversity’s sake, but diversity for the sake of reflecting a global reality.

At another time, I might have found it a more thrilling and fictional threat, but given recent events, I did not find the book to be very uplifting. The sight of the village and the dead people, shocks the team as they are witness to a zombie apocalypse, people madly running and screaming, blood spurting from their bodies, violently attacking and savaging one another, and beginning to swarm the investigating team. I don't think there was a moment in this book where I wasn't grounded in the setting and following the action with ease and enjoyment.
