Aiden Bailey takes his explosive series to South Asia with a barrage of cinematic action sequences and a conspiracy tying together multiple entities from recent headlines.
Shock Front takes CIA operative Mark Pierce, codenamed Trigger Man, to India and Pakistan as he steps in to extract a high value asset targeted by Pakistan’s FIA and a paramilitary group vying to capture the asset holding sensitive information pertinent to a dangerous mission taking place in Russia. It’s a melting pot of dangerous characters and Mark Pierce is caught in the eye of the storm. But that’s where Pierce works best.
The narrative catapults readers straight into choppy waters as Pierce guns his way into the first chapter. Bailey’s research of the locales make for a truly engaging and consuming read as you follow Pierce through the streets and slums of India bustling with chaotic life, being both a blessing and curse for Pierce to work his way through bullets and explosions in shanty towns and on top of mining trucks. If that does not whet your appetite enough, Pierce also faces off against komodo dragons before an explosive action packed finale that will satisfy both hardcore thriller fans and casual readers looking for a cool action thriller to devour.
Shock Front is a terrific spy thriller that superbly balances the fine line of gritty realism with escapist fun. On one hand you’ve got characters and situations that mirror real world espionage crises, complemented by a protagonist who takes the fight to the bad guys in cool fashion with his trusty Glock 19 like a modern day Western. Aiden Bailey keeps elevating the Trigger Man series to new heights of awesomeness.
