Andrew Warren and Aiden Bailey are masters of the cinematic espionage-action thriller genre. They constantly up the ante when it comes to badass action sequences and they’ve really outdone themselves with Lethal Action. From the memorable roster of heroes and anti-heroes to hoot-worthy car chases and shootouts, this book doesn’t miss.
Thomas Caine is no stranger to violence. He frequently undertakes the most dangerous missions to save the world from one audacious evil plan at a time. This time he’s tasked with stopping a corrupt bureaucrat from spilling secrets to a foreign service in the name of greed. That operation quickly spirals into a chaotic mess with Chinese and Russian agents muddying the waters along with the CIA and a mysterious assassin with a deadly reputation. Racing across the European countryside and over the snowcapped glaciers of Norway with bullets and blood chasing Thomas Caine, he must get the upper hand against all those in his way, especially those on his own side.
Warren and Bailey cut no corners in presenting a grand and epic narrative that bursts alive with smooth storytelling that puts Caine front and center along with the mysterious assassin who by the end will become unexpectedly difficult to say goodbye to. I certainly hope the character comes back in future stories. That’s the charm of Warren and Bailey’s duo as they write characters that feel real in the most harrowing situations. Augmenting the adventurous story and the multi-layered characters is sharp action. It’s not just the lethality of the combat that stands out but the way it’s woven together with the scenery that makes each action sequence come to life in your mind with all the synapses firing with precise timing to make the action grand and powerful.
Lethal Action is the kind of adrenaline-pumping thriller that’s perfect for an escape from all the chaotic and tiring moments in your day, propelling you into the hot seat within the narrative as you dodge bullets, helicopter crashes, and fast cars in an epic ride.
