Anyone read this?
For the first time I’m blanking at the price point. I’d pay the money for a Lee Child but have been thoroughly underwhelmed by his brother.
Normally there would be a few reviews by now.
I’m with you on this - I’ve been slightly underwhelmed by the last few offerings . I’m sure I’ll get around to this new one at some point - they’re readable, just a far cry from his earlier, solo efforts I feel. I wouldn’t even pay the 1/2 price offer on the hardback currently in Waterstones the other day.For the first time I’m blanking at the price point.

Still working my way through the Covert Action series by Ross Sidor which are very good
1. Weapons Grade (2019)
2. Target Viper (2020)
3. Subversive Action (2020)
4. Rogue State (2020)
5. Gray Zone (2022)
Centered around a character called Avery who is a private military contractor who get assigned by the CIA.
Quite military based but loads of action so if you like books like the Victor the Assassin and Orphan X series then I'd highly recommend.

Only just reading Better Off Dead. Easily the worst so far. So badly written. So many short sentences. Makes it very difficult. To read.
They were never literary masterpieces, but on the whole enjoyable reads. I may try the next one, but if it follows the direction this one's taken it'll be the last for me.
