Review: High Octane Spy Novel
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 31, 2013
I love this character (Purkiss) and this author.  Anyone who loves Fleming, Ludlum, or Clancy should love Tim Stevens.  I love Stevens' writing style, which flows well and keeps the reader turning those pages.  John Purkiss, the bad-spy catcher, has a back story that pulls the reader in and invests him/her in the plot.  Who wouldn't love a kickass, tough, brawling spy who is fast on his feet and brutal when he needs to be.  And yet he has a vulnerable side that is turned on end by the end of the book.  He is loyal and engenders loyalty in his friends.  This book screams to be put on the big screen.  I can literally see it!  And would buy a ticket to see it!  Let's hope it goes there.  I look forward to the next Purkiss book and hope to start it tonight!  I highly, highly recommend this author and this series.
