Jerome Preisler ushers in the future of espionage and action with Net Force: Moving Target. It’s not the Tom Clancy thrillers we’ve grown up with, but it certainly has its own charm.
The narrative focuses on Kali Alcazar, a former member of Net Force team who’s now hunted by bio-enhanced Russian assassins as she navigates through the underground world of Paris to rescue a loved one. At the same time, the Net Force team is gearing up to storm a heavily armed fortress to capture a dangerous hacker who’s got a few tricks up his sleeve for his guests.
What’s most distinctive about this thriller is the integration of bio-tech into operators to aid them in the lethal art of hunting their prey. Jerome Preisler adds not-so-distant futuristic tech into the mix that augment the nature of the threats and the overall story with a Blade Runner-esque vibe, painting a dangerous picture of the next generation of combat. Preisler’s ability to immerse readers into the futuristic world by breaking down the action in vivid strokes of punches, kicks, and gunshots with bio-enhanced precision is worth the price of admission alone as you feel every strike that’s inflicted on the characters.
While the intriguing characters with nebulous drives and unsuspecting change of plans at the last moment keep you hooked until the culmination, it’s best read in chronological order of Net Force series by Jerome Preisler as the fast-paced narrative that drops you right into the middle of the action leaves little room for proper introduction of the series. That said, Net Force: Moving Target shows that this is a series for thriller fans to check out pronto.
