This book was recommended to me and I wasn't sure if I'd like it so put off reading it for some time. What a mistake that was. This book is a well written, non-stop, action-packed thrill ride, which takes you across the World on a fabulous adventure. Matt Drake is a great lead character, he isn't...
More than one man was bowled over by Dahl, but he took care to skip around older folks and those with kids. Suddenly, a shocking force struck him from behind, bearing him down, but Dahl fought back and managed to keep his feet. His head whipped around to see the steely-eyed policeman hanging on t...
Unlucky for me, as always. I killed my first man at age thirteen. I am the thirteenth contestant. She’d found out later that her thirteenth kill had involved the death of an unborn child. If I were in a goddamn book, I’d be on chapter bloody thirteen. Coyote had known only...
A cold wind whipped the lackadaisical Scotch mist to and fro, all over London Town, making the residents and the tourists miserable, cold and wet. Drake remembered thinking this kind of weather was “just for the sake of it”, something his mother used to say during the long, usually cold autumns n...
“Hurry up! I’ve carried out my fair share of missions in Venice. I know just where to go.” Alicia ran, following the team onto Calle Frezzeria, still only a few street changes away from St. Mark’s Square. Within minutes they were passing a vaporetto stop. Crouch slowed dra...
“I realize they’re a nice pair of pins,” she said in annoyance. “But at the end of the day they’re just legs. Healey, you ever see this far up a woman’s leg before?” She was sitting on a couch in their new communal hotel room, jeans resting on the arm beside her as she fix...
It was there that the worst fiends that ever existed dwelled in all their fiendish depravity, and where Dementia and her crazy brother awaited, and where the very worst king of demons, Lucifer, lived. No longer a terrifying legend. No longer a horror story. The Devil was c...
It took them a while to remember where they were and what type of stalls were scattered all around. “We’re dumbasses.” Kinimaka hung his head. “Not really,” Alicia said. “We’re just not used to shopping at designer boutiques inside a war zone.” &nbs...
The initial plan was to ignore everything, get to the meeting, and find out what the hell was happening, but when he saw the caller ID he simply stopped and stared in disbelief. “Bloody hell. I don’t believe this.” Dahl looked over his shoulder like...
Whilst he was down there two more mercs strapped his hands behind his back with plastic ties. Dahl was shoved into a corner and similarly secured. The majority of enemy weapons, she noticed, were the MP5SDs, a variant of the venerable MP5 Heckler and Koch MP series. It featured an aluminum suppre...
The truth was, New York was too big to scour in a matter of hours and the phones rang off the hook. Its people were too numerous and its visitors too plentiful. It might take ten minutes for the Army to reach the White House but, despite all its guards and security measures, how long would it tak...
It hung heavy, like an accusation of murder or a bell that chimed out every man’s doom. Unspent tears shone from each face. The more vocal were screaming threats into the killers face, but this wasn’t 24, and none of them were Jack Bauer.The fact a child had died hadn’t even begun to sink in yet....
