Slash and Burn by Matt Hilton

2.0

For me this was a bit of a disappointment. For me it came across as a weak imitation of a Lee Child "Jack Reacher" book: you have a basically invincible hero, who can shoot the dots out of a playing card at 50 paces while hurling himself to the ground (except when the plot requires him to miss), and who just needs to walk into the room with beautiful woman for her to fall hopelessly for him. But without the plot twists and cool narrative style that Child produces.

Altogether unconvincing. I'll stick with Reacher when I need invincible heroes and good plots, or perhaps Andy McNab's "Nick Stone" series for a hero who is the scruffy ex-special force type, but who still gets shot a lot and in the end wins out.
