Something different. A mystery/ thriller that takes a young woman as the protagonist who must recover having endured a horrific attack on her work place, while her past as a very small child is being chronicled to be programmed as the ultimate soldier against terror. "Childhood Games" by J.M. Roach, is a fast paced, non stop, of action, guts, perseverance, with incredible guile winner. Samantha Black AKA "Black Jack " otherwise was an office worker in a very small security company. Book opens with Sam in the hospital recovering from an attack at her workplace, and leaving her with bullet holes. However, we begin to find out, as a very small child Sam had been adopted by "Father" to be programmed as a non stop ultimate weapon. But, the bad guys have come for Samantha and want to finish killing her on "Father's" orders. Sam must team up with a doctor she's taken hostage. "Father" knows as long as he has kidnapped Sam's younger sister , she'll not stop at any wall to free her little sister. The dialog is superb from the first page right on through to the last page. Characters are life like and have some good depth. I found it to be a very enjoyable read. Basically read book in 2 sittings. Not sure if I was going to like this style. But it flowed, had the action, and delivered the punch. I'd like to see author J. M. Roach write a follow up on "Childhood Games" Sam may have at least one more mission to go. 5 stars out of 5. Good and enjoyable fast paced read. Do yourself a favor and pick it up. Be sure your seat belt works too !
