Jet by Russell Blake

Jet is the first book in a series about an ex-Mossad top secret undercover agent.  Jet thought she'd left that life by faking her death, but someone it after her.

This is a cracking adventure.  Once the first shot is shot, there's hardly any slowing down, both in Jet's life and this story.  The story is tight and extremely readable.  It is not highbrow fiction, it's just a fast-paced adventure.  

My only complaint is that the story finished at 88%.  I really hate having a big chunk of a kindle book set aside for adverts and chapters of other books.  I don't read them and get miffed that I've not had at least 95% of the kindle book.

The Geronimo Breach by Russel Blake

This is a story set in Panama and Central America about a thief, his guide and their pursuers.

I hadn't really read the write-up as it was offered up as a review copy, so didn't know which of the characters I came across at the start of the book was the main character (even though it should have been obvious, doh). That made it better as I didn't quite know who to root for.

The storytelling was quite colourful (in a nice way, not a swearing way) and very rich. I have been on holidays to Costa Rica so could imagine the jungle landscape.

I was wondering what was on the video tape and it did surprise me, which was enjoyable . Other people may have picked up on clues as to what was going on, but by not over-thinking it was a journey that I felt I was going on too.

I really enjoyed this book and will check out other things by this author.
