'Savage Payback' is the third novel in the Jack Calder series. For those of you (unlike me) who have not read the first two books in this action/adventure franchise, Seumas Gallacher's tales are about ISP, an international security firm manned by ex-SAS and other police/special forces personnel who can boldly go where other more conventional authorities cannot.This is the best of the bunch so far (and that's saying something). In the first two books, the good guys for the most part had things their way. This time they are not so lucky. Pitched against two major drug lords and an ex-SAS explosive expert with a grudge, Jules Townsend's organisation is at full stretch worldwide, and there are casualties and tragedies along the way. 'Savage Payback' is a page-turner of the first order - I gobbled it up in record time.If you like your action thick and fast and with plenty of international locations, you'll really love this book. Cinematic, or what? Movie directors, are you listening?
