Black Ops: Zulu by Arthur BozikasMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
An action-packed thriller...
Black Ops: Zulu (Tom Stiles Thrillers Book 1) by Arthur Bozikas is a superbly written and richly descriptive novel with brilliantly drawn characters and settings. The threads of storytelling are so expertly woven in this action-packed thriller that it guarantees the attention of the reader. Skillfully constructed and set against the backdrop of the hidden connections between espionage, international fraud and the deadly potential of information technology, this thriller will have you turning the pages from beginning to end.
The book description gives only a sneak preview: ‘Former black ops agent Tom Stiles is about to face the most personal - and deadly - appointment of his career… Returning to be with his partner and twin daughters, Stiles finally has a shot at a normal life. But soon, death wraps its claws around his life once more, as a member of the Chechen Mafia is demanding a dangerous favor from him… Trying to balance his new responsibilities and protect those he holds dear, Stiles is drawn into a criminal syndicate with links to international terrorism. But does he still have what it takes to finish the job, and make it out alive?’
I enjoyed the story, character development, and dialogue. There were plenty of plot twists that I didn’t see coming and that added to the book’s mystique. When I stopped reading to work, I found myself wondering what happened in the book, and replaying parts of the story in my head to see if I could figure more out. It has been a while since I enjoyed a book this much. It’s a first-class thriller with perfect pacing.
If you are looking for a well-written thriller with amazing characters and a gripping plot then Black Ops: Zulu will not leave you disappointed. Fans who like their action and adventure infused with mystery and suspense will enjoy the ride! I’ll be looking forward to reading more in this series. Highly recommended and a well-deserved five stars from me.
