Mentioned in the pages of the Septuagint but lost to history, the Book of the Wars has resurfaced, and its pages hold secrets--and dangers--never before seen on earth.

    Rapid Moving Action!

    Lots of action, dire circumstances and hopping from one end of the planet to another fill the pages of this thriller. However, there were so many characters in this tale, some with very similar names, that I found it very confusing. It wasn't unusual for me to re-read pages. I often had to flip back in the book in an attempt to keep the people straight, and remind myself what part they played in this yarn. There was a lot of fast paced action, along with military lingo, but not a lot of actual story, or much information about each of the large number of characters. \\r\\n \\r\\nAlthough this is book one in a series, the many references to other situations made it feel as if I had missed a previous installment. I am not a fan of the author's style of starting to write crudecurse words but not finishing them. The author is a good writer, and could get the point across without that. \\r\\n\\r\\nThrilling books are a favorite of mine, but this one fell short in narrative department. I found this story hard to follow, and even harder to keep my interest. The main character's overriding concern is that he has six months of his life missing. But whatever happened was never revealed-at least not in this story--but the ending made it clear another installment will follow this 3-star book Bethany House provided bookreadingtic a complimentary copy

    Brilliant as always!

    What sucks me into this author's books again and again is the way she delivers not only such fantastic, action-filled plots but also characters you can't help but become deeply invested in. Her characters are some of the most complex and best-written characters I've encountered, especially in the suspensethriller genre. And her stories are so intense! The plot is intense, the action is intense, the characters are intense, and the adrenaline spike is intense! Her characters rarely have pretty stories, and Iskra's is one of the toughest she's written yet, but I'm so excited to see where this character will end up. And that's only one thread to this story. Like all of Kendig's books, she's created a whole team of dynamic personalities and brought back one or two favourites readers will know from her Tox Files series. The banter and the camaraderie are as brilliant as ever, the mission is as intriguing as ever, and the action is in a class of its own. I'll be counting down the days until I can get my hands on the next book in this series.
