Although this may be the second book in the series it is my third experience reading this inspiring author, his first “Contrived” was a stand-alone novel. “The Assassin” the first in the series was good but “The Scientist”, its sequel is even better. I noticed a great improvement through the years and I hope to read more exciting drama in the future.
The main protagonist is a freelance operative who from time to time works for the CIA. In the thriller Max Doerr is enlisted to recover Janco, a rogue nuclear scientist who was incarcerated for treason in a Nevada prison and has escaped. With Janco being sought after by the Iranians time is in the essence to get him back. Omar is the Iranians source man to get to Janco first before the American gets hold of him. A good thriller of this sort is not a good one without the addition of a beautiful and sexy Mossad operative; Ariella plays the part with ease.
With these main players on stage we are set into a well-plotted and exciting adventure with lots of great action sequence. Janco is a pawn in this game and what a suspense filled thrill he gives us while he is on the run throughout Europe. Max is still troubled by the murder of his wife (book#1) and while hunting for Janco, he finds out who really is behind her death….The action never ends till we reach the conclusion.
Captivating from the opening sentence and keeps the thrill all through. This is a page-turner hard to put down with good characterisation and most of all an excellent storyline. Well-done.
