Fierce and tempestuous, Blind Fear is a relentless hurricane of action, mystery and emotion. Brandon Webb and John David Mann have once again teamed up to deliver a blistering thriller where the modest but exceedingly proficient hero must thwart the treacherous villains that effect irreparable harm to innocents. It’s another marvelous story that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Navy Chief Finn is laying low in Puerto Rico, looking to stay out of the dragnet set up by the FBI and the Navy to arrest him for war crimes he didn’t commit. Living in a small room provided by a blind restaurateur, he splits his time between trying to figure out who set him up to take the fall and imparting his wisdom on his landlord’s two grandchildren. When the two kids go missing, Finn takes on the responsibility to find them, putting himself squarely in the middle of the dark and hazardous criminal underworld of the Island paradise. At the risk of exposing himself to those hot on his tail, Finn will use every skillset in his bag, every resource he can cultivate, and every ounce of strength he has to return the young kids he cares about to their grandfather…and maybe blow up a massive, predatory criminal enterprise in the process.
Finn continues to be one of the more fascinating characters in the genre. His physical skillset is comparable to the most capable military individuals you’ll read in any book. But what sets him apart is his elite mental abilities. He has the observation powers of Sherlock Holmes, the steel trap of a memory like Amos Decker, the investigative prowess of Harry Bosch and the disguise mastery of Ethan Hunt. And while he comes across as a quiet introverted loner, his is fiercely loyal to those he has a connection with. Which makes him incredibly dangerous when motivated to right some wrongs. He is the personification of “walk softly and carry a big stick.”
Blind Fear wonderfully builds upon its predecessor books, further developing Finn as a character and progressing the story about what happened while deployed in Yemen while showing his softer side with his pursuit to save the little kids. It’s a fantastic blend of action, investigation, survival and doing what’s right in accordance with one’s moral code.
