"Zealous", by Alex Rawecki


Mr. Rawecki is new at the game of fiction and right from the bat he has penned a winner. “Zealous” is a fast paced techno-thriller filled with suspense and intrigue that dabbles intensively into neuroscience. One can say it is a bit on the sci-fi side but what an exciting and unpredictable read very hard to put aside.

The story in a few words:

Nika Beresic, a talented scientist, has vivid and recurring dreams of being a secret agent. Is her mind playing tricks? After experiencing an epileptic seizure and ending up in hospital she discovers her dreams may be more than a figment of her imagination. She sets out to unravel what happened to her memory and while doing so she learns that she is up against a powerful enemy....Nika becomes a liability to be dealt with.......will she make it out alive...

More thoughts:

At the very start I didn’t think I would enjoy this story but once it got rolling and the action kicked in I was hooked. The story flows well and is very graphic. It would make a great movie it surely is a fabulous read. This thriller is a taut and action packed not a dull moment following the scientist and Marc, her partner, in a desperate search for answer. This blend of sci-fi and mystery ticks all the right boxes: well written, exciting storyline, great characters, lots of suspense and action and to boot a fresh and entertaining story.

“Thank you Mr.Rrawecki for this unpredictable and exhilarating read
