Book Description
The Consultant is a shocking, fast-paced suspense thriller. A flamboyant corporate consultant is enticed by a young and beautiful CEO to participate in a high-risk business deal. Soon things go terribly wrong as the consultant unravels a subtle scheme of international nuclear terrorism. He finds himself trapped. Now he's the target. The race takes him from his lavish mansion in Naples, Florida, to a secret nuclear facility in North Korea around the globe inside mysterious places in Europe and behind hushed doors in Washington. The consultant not only encounters the seductive female CEO, but also a series of strange murders, a renegade CIA agent and a deadly ex-Navy SEAL operative. Billions of dollars have vanished and a time bomb is ticking as the survival of mankind is uncertain.

Should Have Checked A Writing CONSULTANT,
By
Ce commentaire est de: The Consultant (Paperback)
After 120 pages of drivel that should have taken no more than 20 pages, I gave up. Fact: Alec Donzi can't write and would have failed a creative writing course offered in high school. He seemed most interested in filling pages than in building a plot. One chapter seemed entirely devoted to the virtues of Austrian pumpkin seed oil (I couldn't have made this up). Another to what laptop he needed to buy to write the tripe that he managed to get published. On that point and that only he gives us all hope that we too can be in print.

had potential,
By Drake "Drake" (Montreal, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: The Consultant (Paperback)
Sadly I will have to agree with the other reviewers on the editing. In the beginning I thought it wasn't so bad, but then it really got deplorable. I really really wanted to like the book. It started off well, and the premise and story was original. As was, the style. But in the end it fell flat and I rushed myself just to finish the book (I skipped and skimmed pages). It felt rushed. The idea of North Korea was intriguing considering the current situation, and there was a some good elements to the book. In the end, I think the writer has potential. But obviously going from journalism to fiction writing is not a simple step. And a real need for a real editor would help.

A prophetic suspense thriller,
By A Customer
Ce commentaire est de: The Consultant (Paperback)
There aren't too many novels or books for this matter that deal with the very serious and realistic danger of the nuclear threat from North Korea. But THE CONSULTANT by Donzi does and amazingly he puts hard facts into this fast-paced fictionalized account. At the same time we learn about the ethics of corporate America where undeniably greed is the dominating factor. This novel is an exciting read and is full of exotic locales (from Naples, Florida to the Far East, to Europe incl. Paris, France and through Bermuda). And the action never stops.
