Wow, I can truly say I didn’t see that coming! Tbh I’ve had my eye on this book for a while but, as I don’t like sci-fi I did my best to avoid it. Huge mistake. Can I just say that Michelle is an excellent author and this book was an explosive read from the outset.
What to expect from a book with a sub-headline of He’s a husband, a killer and the only man who can save the world… this is a fantastic mix of spies, terrorism and a little supernatural. It has MI6 and CIA subplots thrown into the mix as well. Altogether a humdinger of a read that kept me flipping the pages to its amazing conclusion.
The main character Dr. Sam Noor leads a double life, even his wife is in the dark about that. Ellie was a great character, an intelligent businesswoman for a change rather than a stop at home mum, which I really enjoyed. They make a fantastic team, when they finally get to spend time together.
Enter the other, ruthless characters in this amazing plot line, members of a terrorist organisation seeking world domination. Deadly and determined a powerful combination.
Halfway through the book it steers off in a different direction and takes on another dimension, that’s all I’m prepared to say about that though…spoilers. 🙂
In all, a compelling James Bond type novel that was exceptionally hard to put down and left me breathless at times and crossing into many genres.
A great read, looking forward to reading more in the series when my busy schedule allows.
An absolutely stunning spy thriller that keeps you on your toes from page one. Each character is carefully moulded to fit their area of expertise, every political scenario well plotted & the undercover operatives skilled to believable perfection. The main character, Sam Noor, is both a charismatic husband & dedicated spy, his mission to bring down the corrupt terrorist group Al Nadir, whilst trying to keep his marriage intact. This author writes with an eye for detail, the storyline running swiftly along & pulling the reader in with ease. Add a cliffhanger ending & you have a superb action-packed start to a series that easily rivals the likes of Le Carre & Fleming.
I was carried along for the ride with this book, such was the pace and the shifting plot perspectives. It felt like a spy thriller, with elements of sci-fi and otherworldliness, which I loved. The planet is under threat from a new terror organisation. But they are unlike any other. They use unseen technology to strike at the hearts of power across the globe. Against them, Sam Noor, doctor and MI-6 agent, who is fighting to keep up with the mayhem unfolding around him.
Briskly paced with strong characters, The Trusted is the kind of book that keeps you hooked until the final page. I’m eager to see what happens next as the book was left open perfectly for more mayhem and nano-tech.
Top stuff!
I loved the premise for this one but I think it was just too much shoved together into one book. Too many characters (you need a notebook to keep track). Too many genres, I think, to keep it cohesive (it went from espionage to thriller to sci-fi to alien).
There was so much going on at once it was hard to stay invested. A lot of changes mid-scenario that made the flow of this one too choppy. I won’t be finishing off this series.
The Trusted is a fast paced action thriller where nothing is what it seems and the plots are so full of twists and turns that if you do not concentrate you may get lost as there is also quite a lot of characters. Even so it´s a good start of a series.
I received a free copy of this book from the author/Bookfunnel in exchange for an honest opinion.
