It’s always fun to read a new author’s debut novel and thoroughly enjoy it.
Ryan Steck’s debut novel features a new character to the thriller genre, Matthew Redd. After his unit is unexplainably killed, Redd is charged with treason, and as if things couldn’t get any worse, while in the brig, he gets a mysterious phone call from his father and subsequently heads for Montana.
I found this to be a fun, page-turning thriller. It is fully loaded with action from start to end, and having parts set in Montana makes it even more fun. This novel is like if CJ Box and Matt Betley had a baby. Other than being devilishly handsome, that baby would be Fields of Fire.
I’m always nervous about debut novels - it seems like they’re either a hit or fall flat, and there isn’t much middle ground. I think Fields of Fire is going to be a hit that fans of the thriller genre will quickly gravitate to and love. Steck’s Matthew Redd will be around for a long time, captivating readers with each page. Make sure you thriller readers grab yourself a copy of this one - you won’t regret it.
