Lost Iraqi treasure in the Florida Keys? Passport is a wild-eyed opportunist covered head-to-toe in passport stamp tattoos. And he has a proposition for Walt—help raise a submerged priceless treasure and keep your share of the bounty. But, that’s not the deadly part…
Passport (Walt Asher Thrillers)
By andrewallan
Walt Asher’s attempt at a vacation with his sweetie hits an exciting snag as they run into a really colorful character at an antiques auction. He talks them into joining him in the recovery of a treasure buried under the sea, an thus launches a series of action-packed events and life-threatening situations. The book is a quick read, and up to Allan’s standards in the style of writing. I definitely recommend it.
Passport – Good Lord, I love the stuff that comes out of Andrew’s imagination. I hurt myself belly laughing my way through the pages. Yes, there’s Walt and Ilsa, but no DB. Passport does a wonderful job taking DB’s place as the third wheel to W&I. I would like to see DB and Passport working together in a future book. Plenty of humor, action and intrigue. Needs a new editor, the same from the last book. I contacted the author to review his books. 5*
Killers, Bikers and Freaks #1 – A well written, action packed suspense novel. The characters and plot are well thought out and believable. The author’s writing style reminds me a lot of Jimmy Buffet’s and Elmore Leonard. I hope the next book I read by this author will be edited better, he’s too good of a writer; he lost a star on this book. 5*
Sell Shock (#1.5) – Picks up where Killers, Bikers and Freaks left off. A well written, funny, twisting plot with the same lovable characters and more. By the second chapter, you’re already LYAO and sucked in for the ride. You can’t help it, may as well be a cat needing to satisfy its curiosity. And satisfaction is what you get, until the story ends and you’re going, What, it can’t be over! You’ve got to read Killers, Bikers and Freaks first; this is where we meet our fine, funny characters and get hooked on this author’s work. 5*
Bodies, Blades & Rituals #2 – OMGosh! It’s the first sentence and I’m already rolling on the floor LMAO! I love the books by Andrew Allan; you can’t be in a rotten mood when you reading one of his hilarious, action packed, intriguing little yarns. Do yourself a favor and read them in order; it’s the only way to get the full entertainment value of these books. BB&R starts where Sell Shock ends, a few weeks later. Well-written, suspense filled, action packed, with touches of humor; BB&R keeps the reader intrigued. It was difficult to put the book down once I started reading it. We have our continuous cast of characters that keep us cheering and rooting for them. And of course, the bad guys are BAD. The subject of the story is current and is just as horrible as in Roman Times or 600 or even 200 years ago; meaning it’s a dark side of humanity. Like drugs, it’s not only for the lower class, but indulged in by a worse class of people. 5*
Walt’s Fault – Oh boy, did Walt step on, and in, it big time. DB calls in a favor since Walt owes him. W can’t say no, he owes DB. All kinds of things happen in this quickly read, short read. Action packed and intriguing, with the usual dirty characters found in DB’s world and a couple of kinks that make everything extremely interesting. The ending was a little too quick. I contacted this author to review his books and he’s never disappointed me with one of his stories. 4*
Temples, Tempests & Blood #3 – I absolutely love this series! I have so much fun with the escapades, the humor and the characters Walt and DG. While there is plenty of humor, there is darkness and violence, and the baddies are depraved.
While you can read this book by itself, I strongly recommend that you start at the beginning or read the previous book at least. This well written series is hard to put down when started and each book builds upon the previous foundation. The pace is always fast and the dialogues are always snappy, witty, scary, etc., but realistic. The characters run the gamut but Walt, DG and Ilse are the center. The descriptions are vivid but never graphic, and certainly places the reader in the spider/fly’s position.
While managing the lighthearted side of the characters and their lives, Mr. Allan does not shy away from horrible crime subjects. I contacted this author to review his books and I have loved every one so far. Yes, his editing improved immensely since his first book, but I noticed he found a dumb editor/publisher? this time around. 5*
Another Walt Asher action packed page turner. I read this in one sitting because I could not put it down. Walt and his wife Olsa are in the Florida Keys for a vacation. They are at an auction and meet Passport. Passport offers them a treasure hunt experience. They are on a boat pulling up the bags of gems when a boat approaches with men with guns. This starts the non stop action.
This is a fast paced short story packed with drama. No matter where he goes, Walt just can’t seem to stay away from trouble!! This episode is very entertaining. Great series. I received an advance copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving this review
A quick hitter.
Passport is short novel that finds WALT AND ILSA on vacation in the Keys trying to wind down from the latest encounter with the Kith. Too bad trouble always seems to find them. This time they meet a “Pirate” who turns out to be much more than he let’s on. Before they know it, Walt and Ilsa find themselves being chased by international gangsters. The action is fast and furious, and once again Walt must go through all kinds of precarious situations. Suffice it to say that Ilsa is here to help and we get a great insight into what makes her tick. A short book but will not disappoint.
Walt and Ilsa together make a
great pair. This was a very quick
and easy to read story with tricks
and turns at every corner. AND a
new character you’ll love. Happy
reading.
