this is for you!  If you want character and plot development look elsewhere.I'm a HUGE fan of Matthew Reilly, and though his books focus on the action there is enough character/plot development to satisfy me.  Based on my past Kindle purchasing, this short story was recommended.I was going on vacation and thought "195 pages for $1.49? Why not?"I wasn't disappointed, as all I wanted was action and an easy read.Matt Drake has already saved the world once, and just a few weeks later he's called on again?  Poor guy!  But he rises to the challenge.  It seems Blackbeard had a nasty little device and to his credit, David Leadbeater (author) actually gives a plausible enough description as to what the device is and what it can do.  It's bad..let's just leave it at that.The Blood King is a man of myth.  Does he exist? And I can't be the only one to question if he is who he says he is (read it and tell me what you initially wondered).There are damsels in distress, car chases, bombs, a wild fight at the end with Battleships-crazy sounding I know!This book is escapist fun...and can't we all use some of that now and then?
