Benjamin Spada has something impressive brewing with the first two books in the Black Spear series. I thought the first book FNG was crazy, but The Warmaker takes things to a much higher level of madness. Containing wicked fast pacing, anxiety-inducing events, and tremendous characters, this book is an incredible thrill ride that military thriller fans will flip over.
Black Spear, a covert special ops outfit, is in the fight of their lives against enemies foreign and domestic hellbent on starting World War III. Facing high-tech weapons wielded by cunning adversaries, Captain Vaun, Cole West and the team are facing the longest of odds to put a stop to the dastardly plans. They are shot at, stabbed, chased by incendiary nanobots, engaged by robotic weapons, and more. However, Black Spear will not stop. They charge headfirst into the danger, even in the face of near certain death. But they have some tricks up their sleeves and throw the Hail Mary of all Hail Maries to avert a catastrophic global nuclear war. Will it be enough? Or are they too late to stop the inevitable?
The Warmaker is one hell of an insane balls-to-the-wall military thriller. People spontaneously combusting, nothing left but bones after a couple of seconds. Tanks that convert into spider-like creatures to advance on any possible terrain. Spike grenades, explosive bullets, smart napalm that chases targeted individuals, robotic exoskeleton war machines, x-ray vision rifle scopes and more futuristic tech than you can shake a stick at. Not to mention the unassuming but incredibly capable and creepy assassins that strike fear in all they encounter. Crashes, fire fights, and blazing infernos. World War III on the cusp of reality. And a black ops team of a few individuals trying to weather the storm and save the day. What more could any thriller fan want?
