As usual, Craig A. Hart has a certain winner here. This is a compilation of three books in the series, none of which will disappoint! You can elect to read them in order or not, but the characters will easily become familiar to you and there won’t be any trouble following along in these action packed thrillers based on a “Spy Company.” Short, quick, fun reads that are engaging and entertaining as any good book(s) should be! Recommend these and anything and everything by this author. Keep your eyes peeled for the next two books in the series!
Assignment series:
Assignment: Athens #1 – A well written little spy story. Not in Ludlum’s league, but Hart does a good, simplistic job. The prologue starts the ball rolling with favors of Mr. Majestyk and The Mechanic, which made me laugh. While this isn’t my favorite story, I love the other books I’ve read from this author, especially the Serenity Series.
If you like Assignment: Athens, prepare to get your socks knocked off with Serenity. I am curious to see if the next book in the SpyCo series will be as well written as the Serenity, which by the way are all 5-star books. 4*
Assignment: Paris #2 – Another well written spy story from a good storyteller. The characters are believable, the fast paced plot twists and the humor rampant. Mr. Majestyk is replaced with James Bond, but the story still rocks. 5*
Assignment: Istanbul #3 – Another well written little spy story. The books in this series are getting better, as most good things do with age or practice, and the reader has a fast paced, suspense filled story laced with humor. I recommend reading the series from the beginning as the well developed characters pop in and out from various books. Plus, why not, they’re a fun way to spend a couple of hours. 5*
Assignment: Sydney #4 – Again, another well written, suspense filled novel that keeps the reader immersed in the story while having fun reading it, too. The characters are interesting and the plot is well thought out, plus there’s the signature humor found in this series and other Hart books. 5*
Assignment: Alaska #5 – These stories get better and better. A well written, action packed, humorous novel that keeps the reader in stitches while glued to the pages. Some of the characters have returned from previous stories and get more interesting. The well thought out plot and the return of Dot makes the intrigue rock. I noticed a new coauthor and can tell a difference with his contribution.
Update: I found the coauthor did not help write this book; it was written strictly by Mr. Hart. This is my favorite book of the series so far, including Dublin #6. The other books are missing him not being the only writer, but I understand his reason. 5*
Assignment Dublin #6 – Another well written little spy story. Dot appears again; she’s my favorite character. The gang’s off again with a new assignment, which if you read the other books, you know what to expect. A quick read done in a couple hours, good for relaxing. 4*
