FNG packs glorious action driven by a pedal-to-the-metal narrative hellbent on entertaining you without measure. Benjamin Spada knows exactly what cocktail of guns and explosives thriller fans need.
Cole West has no idea what’s in store for him when he joins a top-secret black ops program, the only information known to outsiders is its menacing name, Black Spear. His indoctrination is thoroughly immersive as his first day on the job has him and his new team racing to uncover a biological threat posed by a paramilitary group of renegade veterans known only as Terminal, their mission a deeply personal and vengeful one to strike the government they believed failed them. Thrust right into the chaos of modern warfare with car chases, brutal fisticuffs, and gun fu, West must quickly adapt to meet the challenge before Terminal deploys a weapon that is devastatingly terrifying and fatal.
Benjamin Spada instills the fear of the impending doom deep in your bones with harrowing descriptions of how the biological threat works. It amplifies not only the intensity of the narrative but your investment in seeing Black Spear make it out of close-shave situations even when the odds go against them. Fighting not only regular bad guys but feral-zombified soldiers without letting them bite you is just one example of the high-danger high-voltage action sequences that keep you holding on for dear life as Spada takes you on a mission that may have ventured into sci-fi if not for the grounded setting so exquisitely woven through the current socio political crises.
If you need to get your fix of adrenaline, that’s one more reason you must read FNG. The bare-knuckled heart-pumping combat sequences are a genuine delight to those who have high standards for cinematic action that retain a strong aura of realism. It’s the beginning of an incredible new series filled with lots of intrigue and excitement. I can’t wait to read where Benjamin Spada takes this narrative next.
