Review: Pulse-Pounding Action
Rating: 5 out of 5

Another exciting thriller from the author of “The Orange Moon Affair.” Thomas Gunn and Julie are back and, as before, begin a seemingly simple investigation which uncovers a multinational conspiracy. This book is a continuation of “The Orange Moon Affair” in some ways, but it can be understood without reading the first book.Clarke has a highly cinematic writing style that makes for easy reading, but just as important as the gunfights and helicopter crashes are the psychological experiences of the characters. The story is presented in a very raw fashion, with the right body count and physical/emotional trauma that you’d expect from such an experience, although without passing into the realm of being overly dramatic. The story is written from Thomas’s first-person perspective, providing excellent insight into the mind of a man who has been through things that most of us have not and will never experience.I strongly recommend this book as well as its prequel. The plot is exciting and the delivery is just fantastic.
