Fast, action packed and unpredictable

This book was filled with hot action, unexpected turns and plot twists. It is not predictable as so many adult books are. I enjoyed it and I am looking forward to reading more. It ends on a cliffhanger. I wish that it would go into character development just a little bit more. Other than that, it's worth buying!

Fast paced and action packed. Nyxia jumps right into the story and keeps going. The characters are refreshingly diverse and with a lot of backbone to them. Read through the eyes of the main character, you feel like you're part of the story and fighting with Emmett as he tries to earn a spot to go to Eden,  Fun, fast, and definitely full of twists you won't see coming.

Excited for the next book!

Fast-paced and full of action from the very beginning, this book follows Schmitty, part of the Orange County Police department, and his multiple police department task force. After a massive earthquake hits California, Schmitty and his colleagues are sent on a massive manhunt for one of their own. Joined by a JROC squad of soldiers and a FBI agent, they battle gangs and looters, as they try to stay alive and ahead of an unknown spy in their own department. With twists and turns around every corner, this book keeps you guessing who did it and exactly what happened with a unique and quite believable plot. This book is a fast and gripping novel that will leave you a little scared about the possibilities the author explores. I received a copy of this book from Book Review 22 in exchange for an honest review.

Although the story is a bit predictable the characters are likeable and realistic. The action is thrilling and exciting without going overboard to the point of unrealistic as so many do. A good solid read that leaves you wanting more. I can't wait for book two.

A fast action packed book with an intriguing story line that makes this book exciting from the get go. With more twists than a good bike road,you won't want to put it down, even when you get to this last page. Books this good should last a lot longer.

The action in this book is relentless and I really enjoyed the shifting narrative perspectives.  The writing is so descriptive and exciting - it's like we're in the minds of the characters.  There were a lot of twists and surprises.  Hope there's a sequel to this one.

The first and most important word I have to use regarding this book is TIMELINESS. As I read, I felt like the events described could be happening tomorrow. Tomlinson examines in a very interesting way several topics that are happening right now in society including driverless cars, the prying eyes of the U.S. government and the info-tainment-izing of journalism. His viewpoint is almost as if someone were explaining to us a story that is going to happen just beyond our current horizon.

The story is tight, action packed, and fast paced. I would definitely describe the work as a thriller. One of the things that Tomlinson gets very right is his description and understanding of technology and the debugging of technology. He has a background in engineering, (but you wouldn't guess that from how well-written The Shooter Act is except in how well he does technical detail).

The characters are multi-dimensional and their motives and moral quandaries are relate-able. Further, it is clear that there should be more to come. While the story does wrap up fairly well, I was left wondering what was to happen with several key characters.

Read this book. It is an excellently written first entry by a new author from whom I expect to see more going forward.

Excitedly enjoyed the military type conflict strategy and fast action throughout the story.  Jasper Scott also has an excellent hold developing the hero's personal development with fulcrum of ethics and values.  The same goes for also interpersonal relationships in the areas of villain, romance, family and military style camaraderie.  The plot is fast, twisting and with surprises.  Lots of fun to read and like potato chips I can't just have one so I'm quickly on to the next book Dark Space II.

Action packed, interesting characters face challenges and change for better or worse. Hard decisions have to be made and battles won with clever strategies. The book beautifully continues on the first and starts moving the plot lines in more intersecting ways and it really keeps the reader's attention. Even the bad guys are given enough back story to be well developed and add to the pace and depth. Excited to read the next one!

This is a well written fast paced thriller based around legendary artifacts. You won't be able to put it down looking for the ending. The only issue I have is that the principal character, Dr Acton needs to be a stronger, more vigorous person. He's too much like a bystander, just standing there while the action flows around him; and there is sooo much action. The story doesn't paint a great picture of American covert operation troops but it does show what can go wrong when unlimited power is used for wrong purposes. This book is the first in a series and I can't wait to read the next one which I have already ordered. Get it, you won't be disappointed.

An exciting tale of fast-paced action and a well diverse set of characters. A tale that is set to be believable and keeps you going to the next page to see what is happening next.

If you enjoy fast-paced action adventures, this is the book for you. It hits the ground running and barely lets up. Holly phones her ex-husband Gabriel for help when she finds her life is in danger. She has in her possession a mysterious vessel which two factions want and will kill to get. She herself was working for one of them as part of a team analysing it. Her boss tells an incredible tale, naming the vessel the Holy Grail though it bears no resemblance to the Last Supper cup of legend. Its very old but appears super-modern and seems to employ nanotechnology.

The story takes place both in the present day and in historic times and is well written. The ex-husband and wife are nicely drawn characters and I felt they still held considerable attraction for one another. The finale is fast and exciting and, having made my mind up right at the end what the denouement should be, I really enjoyed the ending. Highly recommended for action/thriller fans.

This felt like Assassin's Creed meets Wanted meets Da Vinci Code supernatural style. It was full of wonderfully done action scenes, information that left you puzzling things out, and more twists than a licorice stick.  The possible slow-burn romance took a backseat in the book, but I look forward to seeing how it plays out.  It sucked me in from page one and I can't wait to see what happens next!
