This suspense action thriller is right out of the author’s imagination and for sure has worked very hard creating this latest. In his well-known signature style he has once again giving us one of those edges of the seat story with razor-sharp action.
In “Highwire” Zeb Carter and his team are in Australia and New Zealand trying to thwart the action of a mysterious organized criminal gang who are stealing from the countries mines and doing catastrophic harm to the countries economics. While the social media are fueling civil unrest...mistrust in governments is brewing.
One thing Mr. Patterson is good at is describing suspense. Through the entire story we are peppered with never ending action: gun fights, fist fights, you name it we have it. Zeb and his team are invincible and always come out without a scratch to save the day. If you like amazing feats, technical expertise and a group that foresees the unimaginable, Zeb’s team will enchant you.
On the other hand:
Ok, maybe it was very good but I must say I am the sour puss here. I had a very hard time with the never ending bing bang and fighting that never stopped. Mid-way my mind almost gave up, wanting so much to have a peaceful read. Is it that after 11 installments things becomes so predictable that the fun of reading such a story is lost... Apart from the excellent action scenes which are all the same bad guys shoot at good guys and good guys shoot at bad guys, of course all this is wrapped by a story that take the back seat I didn’t find much there.
I must stay on the fence on this one...did I like it or not..still not sure.
Thank you, Mr. Patterson till next time.
