Donovan's War by W.J. Lundy
3.0
Going by Goodreads' starring system, it was Ok. I haven’t read many books in this genre, I’m not quite sure how to categorise these types of books, military, ex-spec ops, CIA, clandestine, mystery, thriller, counter-terrorism, off the books, wink wink, nudge nudge, double cross, betrayal, stab in the back, don’t mess with my family, revenge and vengeance is mine, good guys, bad guys, the guys that are in between, in the shadows.
I couldn’t fully empathise with the main character for some reason, I felt detached, disconnected, like I was looking from the outside, rather than being included in his journey. Although the action was exciting and well written.
I find the problem with this type of genre, is that it's very similar to the zombie apocalypse genre, it gets very, same same, very quickly. Overall, I did enjoy it, and I do think it's a worthwhile read.
