The Victim of the System – A well written, fast paced, action packed thriller, filled with suspense and an intriguing, dynamic plot. The characters are interesting, well developed and likable, the good guys that is, but the bad guys fill out their roles, too. This is probably the best of all of Hadden’s stories, which is quite an accomplishment since his other books are also substantial reads. Needs minor editing. I received this book through AXP.com. 5*
The Sunset Conspiracy – My first book by this author and I enjoyed it. There are quite a few good people fighting quite a few criminals. The story is fast paced with a believable storyline, although a time or two, it’s too easy or unrealistic how an event turns out; especially the ending. I liked the characters and their realistic dialog and behavior. The book could use some editing, but it’s still good entertainment, nothing stupid. I’ll be reading his Swimming Monkeys next. I received the Swimming Monkeys through AXP.com.
Genetic Imperfections – Fast paced. Action packed. Intriguing. Interesting, well developed characters that are so realistic, along with their thoughts and dialog. A well thought out, twisting plot that the reader can immerse in for the length of the book. Editing was better for this book compared to his other four books.
Swimming Monkeys Series – This is a new author to me and I liked his five books. Swimming Monkeys consists of three action packed, fast paced suspense novels with interesting characters that kept developing along with the storyline. I prefer books with science and technology, and the author did a good job with his descriptions and explanations. The dialog was realistic and my favorite character is Thad, a cool dude; my least favorite is Thad’s brother. All the books needed some editing, but not too distracting, although God is lower case a lot. I received the author’s books through AXP.com.
Genesis #1 – Genesis is complete but still has a cliffhanger ending. A well written, suspense filled, action packed story with an interesting storyline. All the characters are developed with realistic behavior and dialog. The emotions run the gamut: disbelief; anger; hate; love; deception; fear; bravery. One part of the journey is completed; the series continues with Revelation, the second book.
Revelation #2 – This book continues 60 minutes after the point Genesis ended. Revelation is complete but has a cliffhanger ending! A well written, suspense filled, action packed story with an interesting storyline filled with destruction every step of the journey our heroes make. All the characters are developing, still with realistic behavior and dialog. Emotions run the gamut: disbelief; anger; hate; love; deception; fear; bravery and plenty of sacrifice by others. While Thad is still a cool dude, there are others just as cool. Another part of the journey is completed; the series continues with Exodus.
Exodus #3 – Exodus picks up in the cliffhanger from Revelation. The description of The Trail of Tears is quite incorrect, missing a lot of Indian tribes. Well written; suspense filled; action packed. Full of emotions and pain for all involved in this last leg of the journey. The characters are multi-faceted and realistic in their dialog and actions. A very entertaining series of books. This book needs editing.
