Black Sabbath has been reviewed by
Alice D. for
www.ReadersFavorite.com: |
Beijing is developing satellites that will change Earth's weather
dangerously, bringing earthquakes and tsunamis. An American agent named
Paul Slade is in China to substitute a flash drive, Black Sabbath, in
place of the one guiding these satellites. But Slade is in trouble and
needs help getting out of China. Interpol Special Agents Drew Blake,
Carson Dallas, Patrice Bellinger and Gard Hunter, along with Taiwanese
agents Wang and Sung, are sent to his rescue, and the deceptions begin.
Agents become double agents, are killed and not killed in this complex,
fast moving, ever-changing tale of international intrigue where enemies
are enemies, then friends, and finally once again enemies. This is a brilliant work of fiction, well-researched and well-written. Character development is first rate. There are plots within plots, and the story evolves with many plot and character twists. Bad guys become good guys as Drew, Dal, and their fellow agents work to get Paul Slade out of China and the Black Sabbath flash drive into place, hidden as it is in the base of a substitute gold statue. The dialogue of the story's many characters is exceptionally good, true to life, and along with plot development, will draw even the casual reader into this engaging story of the complexity of foreign relations. The agents and counter agents play well against each other as they swear, burp, make love, play golf, fight, take dangerous plane rides, and make their way to story's end. After Black Sabbath ends, readers will want to read Jason Denaro's former stories about Drew Blake and his companions in high places. This is a book that should be on library and bookstore bookshelves everywhere. |
BLACK SABBATH is relevant to the Bush era political climate and capitalizes well on the idea that by engaging in war, America has overstretched itself and left itself vulnerable. The charming and at times almost satirical plot of BLACK SABBATH convinces in both tension and situation. Impeccably researched conspiracy theories seamlessly blended into a compelling plot.” -------- U.K. Book Review
