The Matt Drake novel series by David Leadbeater are brim full of escapist action adventure. He has created, and given life to, memorable, well defined characters who leap around corners, through the air, then race across the page.Drake missed Alyson and Kennedy. But, he resolved not to drink himself into the grave mourning over his loss. He had hardened. He had to battle real demons, solid enemies. These were beings of mists and shadows. The power behind the power. The pieces are the key to any puzzle. All the variables and equations were here, but one could not erase the inconsistencies, which were also, though unknown, part of the whole.Ironically enough, in the darkness, is when one can see the truth.Dahl handled the Big Apache helicopter with a gentle masterful expertise. The black shark was a war machine in motion with laser guided Hellfire missiles and the IHADSS system that could slave the chain gun to his helmet display. Dahl let loose all hell. The boom echoed throughout the mountains.They had located the tomb and Kali' s sarcophagus. Now, Russell Cayman hefted the bones and proceeded to stuff his holdall.Drake' s life was at a crossroads. It wouldn't work trying to run away from the SAS. The regiment was in his blood. And, for tonight, so was Mai. "We just saved the world."Mao replied, "Today---we're ancient history, like Oden."This was captivating. A swift moving deadly intent,  well supplied with plentiful recurring conviction.
