Synopsis:
From the bestselling author of
Lethal Circuit comes the long-awaited sequel, BLOWN CIRCUIT.
Michael Chase is back.
He survived China. Barely.
But now he's got bigger problems.
He has enemies. Deadly enemies.
A pair of coordinates broadcast on an
obscure frequency have brought Michael to Istanbul, Turkey where
credible chatter has emerged that a terrorist group plans to use a
devastating device to hold the world hostage.
Designed by Nikola Tesla, arguably the
greatest inventor of the Twentieth Century, the device is
experimental, it is capable, and it has been missing for almost sixty
years.
If Michael is to prevent a catastrophe,
he'll need to get to the device before the Conspiracy or risk
upsetting the global balance of power forever. Of course, finding the
Tesla Device is one thing, knowing whom he can trust with it is
another matter entirely. If Michael is to survive, he'll have to do
both. If he doesn't, what started as a bad day is about to become a
disaster
At first, I didn't think I was going to enjoy this book. It's written in first person, which I can sometimes find annoying. Also, it started off using technical terms that I didn't know for boats. Most of them are instinctual if you have ever seen a boat, so that wasn't too distracting. The action moves quickly and draws you in to the story. After the first chapter, I was hooked and had decided that I was going to really like the story.
There are so many twists in this book that I was tempted to take notes! That is not a bad thing at all. Every time I thought that I had the story figured out, then BAM! another plot twist. By the end of the book I was on the edge of my seat, reading quickly, waiting to see what would happen next.
You just can never tell who is friend and who is foe in this book. The main character is constantly having to watch his back or get stabbed in it. As soon as he gets out of one mess he is in another. Talk about frying pans and fire! There is a lot of action in this book, with explosions, chases, shooting, stabbing, fighting, and more! There is never a dull moment in Blown Circuit.
Now I really need to read the book that came before this! Lars Guignard is a very talented writer that creates a world of intrigue that really draws you in until you feel like it is you that is battling for your life.
I recommend this book to anyone that likes a good pulse pounding, action packed mystery.
My rating:
★★★★☆
