OK, first I must confess I am reading Seumas Gallacher's Jack Calder series out of order - having previously read and reviewed "Vengeance Wears Black". The good news is that it doesn't make a lot of difference as each novel is stand-alone."The Violin Man's Legacy", however, contains useful backstory on Calder, the ex-SAS toughie from Glasgow, and some touching and heart-rending recollections about his father.Otherwise this is an adrenaline-fuelled romp with triads, AK47s, Special Forces vigilante justice, and lots of satisfying ends for the bad guys. Gallacher's narrative ranges across continents and cultures with nary a pause, and I have no doubt if you like a good adventure story you will bomb your way through it fast like I did.The next installment in this successful series is "Savage Payback", recently published. It will be finding its way onto my Kindle soon. Five bullet-riddled stars for this one.
