BOOK TOUR REVIEW by Betty Gelean "Able Danger" by Kensington Roth Covert groups, spies on spies-the "Able Danger" series will keep the reader traveling the world. It opens with what appears to be a nice normal American suburban household which is suddenly disrupted in a very peculiar way. The family becomes an unwitting test subject. Kensington Roth has taken a political debacle beyond its limits. His protagonist is a black-ops spy Harrison Court-006. Roth's book is a very compelling work of fiction that ties into reality very well. The style of writing is very descriptive, and the reader can picture whatever Court sees and encounters. The author's sense of place and time is exquisite, and the characterizations are believable and consistent. The action grows all the way through the book. Court discovers some kind of super-weapon, Gravvox and must hunt down a rogue ex-CIA agent. The plot becomes a runaway train to locate the ex-agent and to learn the who, what, and when. A plausible scenario with a great and terrible surprise ending. Fortunately Roth is on his toes and the next book "Danger For 2" will be out soon because I can't wait to find out what direction the sequel will take. by Betty Gelean Author of "Bagpipe Memories" Book reviewer on Goodreads, Shelfari, LibraryThing FrontStreetReviews, and Edwards Magazine. http://nightreader-blog.blogspot.com/ ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

The main protagonist, Agent Harrison Court introduces himself in chapter two, with a quick first-person nod to James Bond. Then a third-person narrator takes over. Court, who works for a “nonexistent sector of the CIA,” is heading for a meeting in Hong Kong on his way to meet his intended “China doll” bride. Plot, counter-plot and conspiracy theory intertwine from this first discussion, with fictionalized real-world terrorism coming under curiously confident suspicion. Special effects abound in the threat of super-weapons, high-speed car-chases, and “B-52s bombers landing two thousand pound bombs.”
This is probably not a book for readers who find misused words distracting or prefer to keep their real-world events and opinions separate from the fictional world. The mixture of entertainment and conspiracy theory probably works best for those not overly invested in a different point of view. But the short chapters move fast and the conclusion promises a fascinating direction for the sequel. ( )
