Fury Unleashed: A Crime Action Thriller (The Noah Reid Series Book 1), my second read from author Wesley Robert Lowe. I’ve managed to acquire 16 books from this author since 2015 and yet only managed to read Evil Rises (Noah Reid #0.5), the first Noah Reid book. I enjoyed both books, well-written but with the promise of so much more, still I’ll be reading this author again! Next up Venomous: An Action Adventure Crime Novel (The Noah Reid Thrillers Book 2). I received a free Kindle copy of this book. The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
Good flowing plot with plenty of twists that keep coming to the end of the book. Good series to enjoy.
Master Wu, Grandmaster of Hung Gar Shaolin martial arts, had left the monastic life, and settled in Hong Kong, hoping to encourage more men to join the group. His best early students included Garret Southam (British), Tommy Sung (Chinese) and Chin Chee Fok (also Chinese), but Chin was drawn away to a high-roller lifestyle financed by easy money that could be made illegally. He convinced Garret and Tommy to join him, but they soon realized the danger they were in and wanted out. Chin relied on their talents, so he murdered their wives right in front of them and their children to keep them under his control.
Noah Reid’s parents were missionaries who ran the Good Shepherd School, a free school in their shabby fifth-floor tenement in a poverty-stricken Hong Kong district. Their hearts of gold would not permit them to turn away anyone who needed help, and Noah inherited that trait.
Master Wu did not have a head for business. His early success in martial arts training waned, and he eventually lost everything, winding up in the streets. Noah happened to find him and took him home; his parents took him in, and Master Wu insisted on training Noah in martial arts to pay for his keep. He was a hard taskmaster, insisting on perfection and Noah excelled in his training.
Chin was not a businessman; he needed and trusted Garret and Tommy to run his operations and keep up the appearance of legitimacy in the books. After their wives were murdered, they vowed to do everything they could to bring Chin down and began embezzling money. Chin couldn’t tell that anything was amiss. When they were ready to make their move, they consulted Master Wu, who advised them to wait for the proper time: when Noah would be ready to tackle the job. Will Noah be able to overcome the hardened criminal Chin?
This book is well-written with a complicated plot, strong characters and descriptions that made me feel like I was on the street with them. There is a lot of action, (some of which is very graphic violence and sexuality) and a very intriguing story which made it very hard to put down, meaning I lost a fair amount of sleep. I enjoyed this book and will certainly read more of Mr. Lowe’s writing
