An Exciting and Creative View on International Terrorism!,
By Ian Gordon Malcomson (Victoria, BC) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
Ce commentaire est de: Spy (Paperback)
With the writing of such thrillers as "Spy" Ted Bell, as an internationally-acclaimed espionage writer, has earned the right to be number among the elite in his field such as Clancy, La Carre, and Ludlum. This novel deals with a very plausible theory that has the forces of Al-Qaeda and a major Mexican crime syndicate pitted against a crack team of international counter-terrorist experts led by the inimitable Sir Alex Hawke, world globe-trotter, adventure seeker and crime-stopper. What is ultimately at stake here is the future security of the American homeland in a futuristic 9-11 world. The bad guys are threatening to move across the Mexican-US border, using the drug trade as their cover, in an attempt to subvert the American government. What makes this fast-paced story such a compelling read is that its prose is smooth, its plot well coordinated, the technical aspects well researched, and, most importantly, supplies a large dollop of timely suspense to keep the reader's attention. In an era of post 9-11, this book and any others that Bell has written are worth reading for those of us who still yearn for a more secure world.

Another Roller Coaster Ride,

Ce commentaire est de: Spy (Paperback)
Book 4 in the Alexander Hawke seriesThis thriller is a captivating tale of international suspense that brings its readers to different localities: from the primitive jungles of Brazil to a small town near the Mexican Border, to the Floridian coast and to the U.K. Rapidly drawn into never ending action, the reader is taken on a roller coaster-ride as we follow a madman concocting technological warfare, a sheriff who faces a vicious group of thugs, and a puzzling and frightening encounter in the Florida Keys involving an insidious plot against the U.S.A and a wrap up in the U.K. What brings everything together is Hawke, Lord Hawke leads a mysterious expedition deep into the heart of the Amazon River where he is eventually captured and forced into hard labour by an indigenous tribe that has been infiltrated by extremists. There he witnesses the birth of a terrorist militia, their recruiting and intense training with state of the art high tech weaponry. The ultimate recipe to launch jihad missions...designed to change the western world forever... He must escape and warn the world of this impending disaster and with help return to eliminate this terrible threat.. Parallel to this exciting saga Mr Bell's prolific imagination takes us to a small border town where one of the stronger characters is the town sheriff who due to a lack of resources finds himself in over his head facing motorcycle gangs and many other dangerous situations. Eventually the two stories cross paths when the sheriff meets Hawke... The wild ride continues in the Florida Keys when a downed plane is discovered with nuclear war heads on board...Of course, putting all excitement aside, in the end, everything wraps up in a satisfying manner. This is another thriller that is full of impossibilities but highly entertaining, an adrenaline rush.

Great addition to an already amazing series...,
By Alex Griswold (UK) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Spy (Paperback)
Spy is sensational. I've read every one of the Hawke books and found them to beamong the best thrillers being written today. You've got an author who has clearly found his stride and the latest is a tour de force, written as if it was ripped out of the headlines, with enough action and marvelous characters for four ordinary thrillers. Do yourself a favor. Buy Spy and make sure you've got time to finish--you will not want to put it down. It is that good.
