Lukas Walker follows up his debut with an even bigger and more explosive sequel boasting gritty combat and high tension.
Hot on trial of a Swiss banker who brokered a transaction of illegal shipment of AI chips, Army Special Forces veteran Chris Harding and his team of covert FBI operatives are targeted by corrupt private military contractors to cover up a major conspiracy tracing to a world dominion plan linked to a social media app that shows how truly vulnerable we are. What follows is bloody rampage and riveting action that’s both gritty and awesome.
Lukas Walker crafts a terrific hardcore action narrative that works to both entertain and educate us about the ramping technological advancements of artificial intelligence and its applications. The story flows with supreme suspense and you’re hanging onto every word to just prolong the experience because you just don’t wish for it to end. At the same time, Walker puts up some of the most cinematic action in recent thrillers that makes it all the more exciting.
Walker also sidesteps the formulaic antagonists for the most part to create a fresh atmosphere of villainous characters and motivations. My only nitpick exists for the climactic action sequence which surely hits hard but ultimately leverages the genre saturated villains that don’t entirely fit the very distinctive tone Walker set for most of this awesome thriller. That being said, the nebulous ending definitely promises even greater dangerous and more exciting turns.
New Beginning takes you for a fantastic adventure rife with action and suspense on a global scale. Lukas Walker shows no signs of slowing down and it’s a great indicator of all the amazing things one can expect from his entertaining narratives.
