This book's title gives little away, and the mystery and suspense that keep you guessing until the very end are the very qualities that make this novel a fantastic, all-absorbing read.This is the first AFN Clarke works that I have read, and to say that I was impressed would be an understatement.  Classed as a military/spy thriller, the Orange Moon Affair has just the right mix of intrigue, murder, conspiracy and drama, cleverly pulled together to create a fast-paced, page-turning, riveting read.  This is a book you will find hard to put down, so make sure you set aside some time to engage in some serious reading!The plot commences with the gruesome murder of central character Thomas Gunn's father.  Gunn is a former SFSG (Special Forces Support Group) Officer and, left in charge of his father's multi-million dollar Gunn Group Industries, he sets out to get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding his father's death.  However, there's a lot more at play than meets the eye, and Gunn soon finds himself in the center of a dangerous power struggle where, if he doesn't quickly unravel the truth, his life and the lives of those around him, will be snuffed out before anyone's the wiser.This is the first in a series of books featuring Thomas Gunn, a character who you'll inevitably find yourself drawn to.  If the Orange Moon Affair is any indication, this series is sure to be a winner and one that you'll want to be a part of.Though this novel fell into what I would usually deem the higher kindle price range, I thought the price was well worth the hours of entertainment it brought.  In fact, I enjoyed this novel so much, I can see myself reading it easily a second time over.A great read.
