Ex-soldier Simon Peake is an ex-soldier in a desperate need of a job. And as always in such situations, the best decision may not be the honest one. He ends up offering his services, and a bit of his conscience too, to an Irish mobster. But as he is trying to accomplish different tasks for his boss, his eyes are also set on the mobster´s niece. And from now on, it can only get better.
Dead Reckoning by best-selling author Rob Sinclair is an adventure in the world of ´no second options´, a world where there is no coming back from mistakes. An ex-special forces with a complicated personal history, Peake is aiming at survival, but life may take him to the most darkest spots.
The book has many violent episodes with a high body count; it is not for the faint of heart, but from the point of view of the character construction, he is playing his role very well. He is so important in the projection of the story, that it is hard to focus on the other characters.
This is the first book in a new series and as for now, I cannot wait to see what are the next thrilling adventures of the characters.
Rating: 4 stars
