Tense and rambunctious, wildly entertaining, and at a breakneck-paced, Mark Greaney splendid Burner is pure storytelling and it was a pleasure from beginning to end!

The difference between this and the Mark Greaney stuff is that Beyond Enkription is as real as you can get. And even though Greaney’s books have some serious heft to them, feeling thicker than most other mainstream thrillers, they read incredibly fast. However, the best advantage is the way that Greaney utilises these perspectives to make some of his biggest sequences really pop. The focus on tradecraft is a particularly fascinating element to the entire story, and you must love the multiple scenes that show the characters utilising their training to outmanoeuvre their opponents.Greaney has a lot of pages to fill in his third solo Tom Clancy novel (after 2014's Tom Clancy: Full Force and Effect). What ensues is a job offer to one of the disowned assets that she’s spent years trying to hunt down while potential damning Russian money funneling schemes are about to be broadcasted to the world.

Any thriller reader would enjoy the pace of this book , and the plot is actually following current events between Russia and Ukraine and the position the United States may be in with their war. The discussion about bribes to influential westerners is pretty interesting, especially as it seems to be a dig at certain politicians and news reporters, and it ended up being a very fascinating plot focus.He's stolen records from the Swiss bank that employs him, thinking that he'll uncover a criminal conspiracy.

Greaney is masterly at writing action, with scenes like a car chase on a winding, hilly road in Saint Lucia coming alive in cinematic fashion.

Minding his own business in the Caribbean, Court is interrupted by a young and dashing CIA officer with a lead from Suzanne Brewer. Velesky is on the run after stealing data from his employer that could expose a great deal of powerful people, both in the East and the West, and the dirty money that has been flowing across the globe.

Power invites the kind of corruption that has always plagued Gentry, both during and after his tenure with the CIA. Ever since Back Blast (2016), he’s been operating on another level, constantly elevating his series by mixing high-flying action with a smooth prose and smart, tight plots that usually have at least one twist that’ll catch even the most experienced readers off guard.
