Hostile Intent is an in your face thriller with an old school feel. The twists and turns of this story will hit you upside the head more times than Matt Drake has taken a concussive blow to the dome during his very active career.
With the current state of world affairs, Bentley seems to have prophetic powers. Drake, enjoying the beginning of a well deserved vacation is called back in. A mysterious walk-in at an embassy asks specifically for the DIA agent. Expecting to be routed back to the Sandbox, Matt finds himself in one of the last places he’d expect to be… in the heart of Europe.
Upon landing in Vienna, Austria, Matt arrives to find the Cold War capital of espionage still chalked full with intelligence officers. They all happen to also be searching for his mysterious contact Nolan Burke—a one time member of the real IRA. Before Matt can have any sort of a debrief with Nolan, the Irishman is kidnapped by a Russian direct action team. Owing Nolan for more than just saving his own life, Matt must find a way to repay the debt no matter what. What the hunt for Nolan leads to might actually require stopping World War III in the process.
Don Bentley continues to elevate his writing with each book and the third installment of the series is no different. His action sequences rival all the big names in the genre. His exploration of the intricacies of the geopolitical landscape in his books reinforces, rather than takes away from the pacing. And that continued entanglement of multiple forces at play make each scene extraordinarily entertaining and a lot of the time, I’m not sure who to even root for.
Simply put, you need to rush out and order a copy. Immediately.
