Blood Money by Matt Rogers
5.0
While reading this book, you might feel that it's all wham-bam action, but at the core of it, this book has heart that is very rare to see in many action books today. Because those books either go a full-on action path and there is very little character development or a look into the psyche of the characters and what makes them tick.
I've read my share of action novels and there are few that do a good job of achieving a balance between the action and the feelings. And neither of the two feel like they are taking over the other.
So, what is the book about? You can read a description. I can only tell you why you should read this book.
There is action. Plenty of it. And it's physical. Nothing too bombastic, this is not Matthew Reilly level large set pieces. This is up close and personal, man-on-man action where you can feel the punches and kicks flying from the page and every action has its cost. The hero doesn't go through the bad guys like a missile. He gets hurt, sometimes badly, but he perseveres. And that's what makes this one a killer read.
I started this from #4, which doesn't really impact the joy of the book. Everything is well explained even if there have been three books before this one. Now I am reading #5 because when did I ever do anything the right way around?
Have fun if you read this book.
