So onto the review. Unfortunately another case of decent book shame about the editing. a four star.
Pale Horse (UrbanKnights Book 3) by James Roby
This is a testosterone fuelled boys own adventure. Dialogue
laden with manly banter, military jargon and weaponry mentions. Jason Noble
makes a good action hero; trying to run his own detective agency, but there
when his country needs him.
The plot is an interesting one; the CIA infects a dangerous
international arms dealer with a man made Ebola virus. The man is then released
in the hope he will trail the virus back to his organisation. They lose track
of the criminal but then suspect he has resurfaced in Detroit, putting the
lives of thousands at risk when the virus becomes contagious in a few more
days. The race against time starts and Jason Noble is hired to help the various
government agencies in tracking this man down. He agrees despite his team’s
reservations, they are non too keen to work with the military, it even leads to
his friend and partner Eric, to resign.
I downloaded this book as a kindle free deal even though it
is the third in the urban knights’ series. There are some mentions to earlier
events, but this book works fine as a stand alone. The female characters are a
bit of an aside and not very developed, this book is all about the action.
There are a number of issues to do with editing and formatting, but I've contacted the writer and he is aware of them now. I hope a more polish version will be uploaded soon, but these issues have not
affected my rating. Enjoyable action packed read.
