Rob Hart dishes out another great round of kickass philosophical conundrums in the form of an action-packed high octane thriller that not only lives up to its predecessor but exceeds it in a lot of ways.
The Medusa Protocol sees Astrid (formerly known as the assassin called Azrael) caught up in a mysterious experiment where the group that took her begins to unravel her carefully hidden past. At the same time, her sponsor for Assassins Anonymous, Mark, worries for her abrupt disappearance. The clock’s ticking for Astrid, Mark, and his group of former assassins-turned friends to get to the bottom of the mystery while evading trained killers on their trail.
Rob Hart punches straight in the gut with heavy emotions and fast-paced writing that gel together for a riveting experience without compromising the heart of the narrative. How do killers survive in their world of kill or be killed if they shall no longer kill? That’s the question Rob Hart answers once more in The Medusa Protocol with ingenuity and class. Even as a form of entertainment, the question of the value of a human life and what it means to take one is explored with beautiful subtlety and nuance throughout the story.
If you’re worried that the emphasis on non-lethal combat may dim the action, you needn’t be concerned. Hart finds fun ways to amp up the action and there are some cool hand-to-hand combat sequences that will immensely please readers craving some hardcore action.
The Medusa Protocol is philosophy and fun-filled action and suspense all-in-one packaging meant to deliver the most out of your reading experience. I love that the story stands on its own with fresh ideas and clever execution.
