Great , easy read. Couldn’t put it down. Takes a different look at an all too realistic possible scenario. Realistic heroes.
An interesting read.
Very enjoyable
Interesting story
It was action packed and a good read, however it left you hanging in order to sell the next book in a series. I like a resolution within one book!
A true mystery thriller, fast paced, action packed, very likable characters & exciting plot.
I love to read a series. This was the best ever. It was exciting, sad, happy, etc etc etc.
This book kept my attention and described the IT and government roles in the danger the world and our country is in today.

Gust a good read
The ending seemed to beg for a sequel. Good luck.
First, I should disclose that was given a copy of The Sins of the Father in exchange for an honest review. It is interesting to note, that I was given this opportunity even though I only gave the 1st Logan Falcone book (Debt of Fear) a 3-star rating and I don’t routinely give out 4 or 5 star reviews.
I gave Debt of Fear a 3-star rating because I just didn’t feel that the story was believable; however, I still enjoyed the story, I liked that there was an attempt to show the emotional strain that Logan had to deal with. I stated in that review that I thought that the author had a great deal of potential and, I am happy to say, that this potential is realized in the Sins of the Father.
The Sins of the Father is a gritty, complex story on the war on terror and the physical and emotional trauma that each character must deal with in this fight. There are no invincible super heroes in this story. Good guys sometimes fail or even die. Sometimes the bad guys win or survive.
The terrorists have their own emotional trauma that has shaped their lives, caused them to go down the path of a villain and aides in understanding what motivates them to become a terrorist.
Like in real life, the good guys in The Sins of the Father sometimes make bad decisions or do bad things, sometimes to the point of becoming a bad person. Sometimes bad guys do good things. That doesn’t negate the bad they have already done but does humanize them and make you feel some empathy for them. You wonder if they had made a different decision in the past and had risen above their emotional baggage if they would have continued to be a good person or if it was inevitable that it would have just delayed the inevitable. It also makes you admire even more the ones who were able to overcome their fears, and their physical and emotional pain in order to protect their fellow soldiers, friends, family and country.
Logan, and all of the characters in the Sins of the Father, are emotionally impacted by the horror that they and their loved ones have faced. They all have suffered the loss of loved ones, many have made decisions that turned out bad or had unintended consequences, many blame themselves for events that they were not responsible for, and must deal with the weight of the pain and suffering that they have caused to others even if it was for what they believed was a righteous cause.
The story moves quickly with a great deal of action that never lets up. Numerous twists and turns keep the reader engaged and unsure how each event will turn out. Both the reader and the character experience individual events and become aware of information that seem unconnected but, begin to come together to paint a picture of a possible epic terroristic plot that could fundamentally change America.
Can Logan and his team discover and put together all of the pieces needed to learn about the true plot that has been set in motion? Can they overcome their emotional and physical trauma to do what they must do to discover the truth and to stop the plot before it is too late? Read the book, you won’t be disappointed.
While there are many books that have an “Rambo” type hero who singlehandedly must stop a terrorist plot, few have complex characters that feel pain, that deal with fear, guilt and doubt. Few make you understand that people are not pure good or pure evil and are often motivated by things that happen to them in the past that they had no control over.
If you are looking for a fast-paced, thriller with fully developed, complex characters, I highly recommend that you read the Sins of the Father.
Having been a military operator I found this to have a number of cliches and inaccuracies. It was a fun read.
Poorly written with many mixed metaphors and trite actions. Too many subplots that are poorly blended.
