Book Review: A Book I Couldn't Put Down
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this book sitting around for a while, but somehow it, and the sequel, HURRICANE, got put under a pile of books that my girlfriend and I brought back from a library sale. A buck a bag for paperbacks, that's a lot of books to be buried under. However, fortunately last week my she helped me put in some floor to ceiling bookshelves in the two car garage that I'd converted into library, so now all my books are organized and I have finally been able to read this excellent thriller. Of course, my car has to live on the street now, but you can't have everything.
DEA agent Bill Broxton has been given an impossible task, protect the Prime Minister of Trinidad from an assassin's bullet. Impossible, because Prime Minister Ramsingh doesn't want American protection. Protection he needs, because he is cracking down against the Salizar drug cartel in his country and the Salizars have been using Trinidad as a staging area to get their drugs into the United States. The American government has found out that the Salizars have hired the Scorpion, an international assassin, to finish off Ramsingh, but apparently the PM isn't that impressed. He believes his minister of justice can handle his security as well, if not better than the Americans. However, unknown to Ramsingh, Justice Minister Chandee is thick as thieves with the Salizars and is the man behind hiring the Scorpion, who is actually the daughter of the American Ambassador and also the woman Broxton loves.
And there you have the makings of a book that I just couldn't put down. I was hooked right from when the bomb went off in the plane. What a harrowing opening. I felt like I was right there on that wild and dangerous ride. I thought I'd faint when the oxygen masks came down. What a story, I can't wait to start HURRICANE. But hold on! I don't have to wait, I can start it right now.
