Description:
“War on
Terror veteran, Eric Caine, is found wandering the streets of Miami with no
memory of the car accident that left him there. Alone and suffering from PTSD,
Eric is on a one-way road to self-destruction. Then a chance meeting at a bar
begins a series of events that helps Eric start anew. When his new job
relocates him to Venezuela-the land of his childhood - things, however, take an ominous
turn as a catastrophic event threatens the stability of the country. Now Eric
must escape an elite team of CIA assassins as he tries to uncover an
international conspiracy in which nothing is what it seems.”
Appraisal:
A spy
thriller with a twist. Eric Caine’s in a bad place psychologically. When
presented with a helping hand, he grabs it and hangs on. But then the hand-up
turns out to be much different than he imagined. As the description says,
“nothing is what it seems.”
Although
the story has a few minor rough spots, it is fast-paced, with increasing
tension, as Eric gets into a situation he could never have anticipated and
doesn’t understand. Eric is forced to fight for survival while trying to
uncover exactly what happened, who is responsible, and figure out what he can
do about it.
FYI:
Some adult
language.
Format/Typo Issues:
A small
number of proofing and copyediting misses.
Rating: **** Four stars
