Review: Page turning action
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 02 3, 2012
This is the first novel I've read from Shane Brown and it has definitely left me wanting more. The fast paced military fiction starts straight away and doesn't let up. I'd definitely recommend this book to those who like Matthew Reilly's novels although the action is a little more realistic (no magic mag-hooks). Despite the action focus the characterisation is solid and left me wanting to learn more about each character. The tiny hint of romance is nicely done and doesn't detract from the story or pacing.The enemies are also well realised and the revelation of the source of the biological weapon is truly creative. In short a very entertaining read - five stars.
