The War Planners by Andrew Watts
2.0
Full disclosure, I don't read a lot of techno-thriller based on the fact that the same recipe doesn't really work for me. I'm not a fan of the lone misunderstood troubled hero who has to take matters into his own hands to save the world only to be followed by a beautiful but mysterious accolyte.
The War Planner wasn't supposed to fit that mold and I was at a point where I dediced to give it a go.
Honestly, the story is simple, a bit lazy and far too predictable to make a good, compelling and interesting thriller.
The Hero, once again, can do no wrong and is always right. He also has all he needs to overcome anything hard his situation can throw at him. Stuck on an Island ? What a wonderful coincidence, he's a class-A swimmer!!
If you're a fan of the : "Everything seemed normal and was going well, but David felt in his bones - without anything to justify it - that something terribly wrong was on the verge of happening .... DUM DUM DUM !!!!" well, this novel might just be for you!
