It’s again to Mandie for her subsequent assessment within the Joe Dempsey/Michael Devlin sequence by Tony Kent – Energy Play. I do love these books and Joe Dempsey is oe of my favorite motion heroes – and this e-book may be very a lot about Mr Dempsey. You possibly can learn my ideas right here. I can’t imagine this was launched again in 2020! Right here’s what it’s all about:
Launch Date: 05 March 2020
Writer: Elliott & Thompson
Concerning the Ebook
When a airplane explodes over the Atlantic Ocean, killing lots of of passengers, together with controversial US presidential candidate Dale Victor, it seems to be a clear-cut case of terrorism. The suspect has even confessed to the bombing. However as prison barrister Michael Devlin is about to find, all the things isn’t because it appears.
Additionally suspecting there are different forces at work, intelligence agent Joe Dempsey is pushed to research. Who would have needed Victor out of the best way – and would commit mass homicide to do it? Because the proof begins to mount, all the things appears to level to the US authorities itself, all the best way to the highest. And now somebody is decided to cease Dempsey and Devlin from discovering the reality. At any price.
With numerous extra lives on the road, Dempsey should discover a method to show who’s pulling the strings, and free the White Home from the lethal grip that has taken maintain of energy.
Mandie’s Ideas
I’ve by no means been often known as a fast reader, however in addition they say that when you get the precise e-book then you’ll fly by way of it. Energy Play is a kind of books as I devoured it in 2 days and cherished each minute of it. That is the third e-book within the Killer Intent sequence and the motion is especially specializing in Joe Dempsey and the work he now does however Michael Devlin does discover himself caught up in all of it when he’s referred to as to defend the individual accused of blowing up a airplane over the Atlantic Ocean.
All of it appears clear reduce when somebody arrives at a London police station admitting to being the one that planted the bomb. Michael quickly finds out that all the things isn’t so clear reduce and there are extra sinister issues at play. Joe Dempsey has been requested to research accusations towards the present US president by his boss and when one of many folks he talks to finally ends up lifeless he is aware of that he’s going to should dig deeper and it’s not lengthy earlier than he’s additionally in a race to remain alive while attending to the reality.
The motion on this e-book doesn’t appear to let up from the very first web page. Like Dempsey you aren’t certain who you possibly can belief or the place the subsequent assault will come from. What you possibly can financial institution on is that each Dempsey and Devlin will struggle to the top to ensure that the reality comes out even when the chances are very closely stacked towards them. In any battle they are saying you must not less than perceive your opponent and what’s blatantly clear is that the folks which might be after Joe and Michael clearly haven’t completed their homework in the event that they assume that numbers alone will give them the higher hand.
With politics on the coronary heart of this e-book, the latest occasions in America I did surprise if some had been to the identical coaching faculty as these in lively service which have been within the information as they did seem to show related traits of their ineffectiveness. It was good attending to know Agent Eden Grace and the way she ended up switching sides as she helped Dempsey, going towards her staff and actually placing herself within the firing line. What is absolutely worrying is that this plot isn’t thus far on the market that it couldn’t be attainable. With so many advisers and other people with their arms within the pie do we actually know who’s in management or who holds the ability. We will solely hope that Energy Play actually is a piece of fiction. That is my favorite e-book of the sequence thus far and I can’t wait to get caught in to the subsequent 2 books within the sequence and to see in the event that they seize my consideration in the identical manner.
