WAR LORD

Sent out of town on leave following an off-books mission in the Congo Special Agent Vin Cooper takes on the job of finding the missing boyfriend of a Vegas showgirl as a favour for an old friend.

Tracking the man’s movements to the shark infested pacific Cooper uncovers a deadly plot involving a South American arms baron with a fondness for venomous snakes and access to a stolen nuclear device he is all too willing to use.

When it comes to writing high octane thrillers David Rollins is at the head of the pack. This latest novel combines non-stop action, exotic locations and the nagging worry that the US isn’t as good as it thinks it is at keeping track of its bombs to create an unforgettable roller-coaster ride of thrills.

In Vin Cooper Rollins has created an engaging series character, quick with his fists and a one liner; a maverick on the side of right if not always on the right side of his superiors. There is also a strong supporting cast to parry wisecracks with Cooper and either help or hinder his progress to the book’s truly explosive finale.

If you’re heading for the beach any time soon make sure you pack this book in your case, it has enough thrills and spills to keep even the most jaded action fan from falling asleep in the sun.
