Wow...."City of Champions" was one hard book to read yet it was impossible for me to put it down. Although, the desire for revenge and the brutal description of that revenge are not my normal reading fare, I needed to know the outcome of this thriller/suspense novel. Therefore, I read it in its entirety in order to satisfy my curiosity.  The many unpredictable, fast-paced, twists and turns in the plot...with just a hint of romance, will keep you on the edge of your seat.Morgan Cole, the main character, is on a mission of revenge. He is determined to avenge the gruesome death of his brother Nathan and his wife. In no uncertain terms, he takes the law into his own hands in his Rambo-like fashion. Morgan manages to team up with the motorcycle gang the 'Dogs of War'. WD, the gang leader and his second in command Mush, are as  fearless and ruthless as Morgan himself. They are definitely a force to be reckonned with and their past military association only adds to their stealth in completing their goal.This debut novel by Author Daniel Stanton is well-written and action packed. The descriptions are so intense that the reader can visualize more than they might actually want to. Several parts of "City of Champions" are written in the first tense. I enjoy this style of writing as it draws the reader into the head and heart of the main character....providing he has a heart. I'll let you be the judge of that!
