Loved this book!
The fourth book in this series was not as interesting as the previous three; although, it was action packed. interesting characters, as well as the original cast. Looking forward to the next book in this series.
Can’t pit it down
I have read many of Nick Thacker books but I have to say this was definitely not his best. The dialogue didn’t feel natural between the characters and there were a lot of somewhat clumsy transitions in the book. The story line was good but just a little too disjointed.
Great action novel. Great characters.
It was just OK, but I would not recommend it!
Loved it !
Slow going…
This authors books are always action filled and fun, with a tour of many different places. Historical facts blended with a good story.
Could not get into it.
Not very well edited, rather disjointed, extraneous detail that did not contribute to easy reading or enjoyment. The plot was a good concept but not well executed in the writing.
The Jefferson Legacy – a review by Rosemary Kenny
Harvey ‘Ben’ Bennett’s latest adventure, The Jefferson Legacy by Nick Thacker, starts in a rather disjointed way imho, with a convoluted series of flashbacks for MC ‘Reggie’ to his involvement with the new CEO Team’s current Nemesis, ‘The Hawk’, who’s been hired by a manaical woman in a deadly mission.
The current holder of the famous former President’s name, Joshua, is part of the team and plays an integral part in finding the eponymous Legacy – and rescuing the entrapped Juliette (Julie) from the nefarious mercenary leader and his evil henchmen.
Needless to say, the Team (sans one), emerge – admittedly bruised, battered and wounded in two cases – to look towards a healthier, happier future, as Ben and Julie plan their wedding and, no doubt, another danger and exciting mission ahead!
This was ok. Not bad, but not irresistable.
I was lucky enough to have gotten a free audio book code from the author. I am volunteering to leave this review. Fantastic book plenty of action and suspense. Great series. Nick Thacker
Don’t let the cover art fool you. It has nothing to do with the story. This series gets sillier and sillier as it goes along. Strange thing, the prologue in this book is superbly written but the rest of the book is an entirely different matter. It’s as if an entirely different author wrote each. The story lines are repetitive and as is the character development. Don’t bothe.
A good view of what could happen due to Russian and Chinese manipulation of democracies. Does a good job of showing the results of divisiveness and hate. Dystopian world building.
Plausible and thought provoking.
Could t put it down. Very interesting integrating Lewis & Clark history into storyline.
did not finish it…..was not interesting and jumped around too much
Nothing could not get interested I quit after 30 pages.
