"Mumbai", by Ty Patterson

Zeb Carter thriller book # 10

Zeb’s team needed a well-earned rest after their harrowing mission in Moscow (book #9) clear their mind and regroup in Mumbai to take the sights, enjoy the food and hospitality and leave everything behind....or they thought so....all went haywire when a bomb ripped through a crowded market....

Ouf....action galore from the opening page till you reach the conclusion. I had to put this story down from time to time to take a break from the shooting and fighting. I was exhausted reading Zeb and his team trying to outwit a bunch of bad guys this story does not allow one moment of respite. But again you do not pick up a Ty Patterson’s book not knowing you will be pulled into suspenseful story that will keep you a willing captive.

Rip-roaring pacing, intricate plotting, easy wording and smart characterization, what more can one ask. Ok yes it is a good book but I really got tired with the never ending shooting and killing. The story really if you analyzed it well doesn’t make sense. All the bad guys die and none of the team are killed wow an exception this time one member gets wounded and ends up in hospital...having said this “Mumbai” is a thriller after all and we should expect silly things to happen...we see this on TV...the bad guys don’t know how to hit a target and always gets killed and the good guys standing up to danger never get hit....ok.....

I would suggest being in the mood before tackling this thriller to enjoy it at its max. It is a good story but it was not by far my preferred. Could I suggest that Zeb mellow a bit and change tack.....that would through us a curve...the same old, same old gets boring after so many stories....anyways this is the way I see it...
