Books to review soon [Emz]
Friday, 8 September 2017
So I thought I would post something a little different for this post. I am in the middle of two books and will be reviewing them once I am done
So here we go.
1. Private Games by James Patterson.
I have read quite a few books by James Patterson. I have read 3 of the NYPD Red series and 2 books in the Private Series (Private and Private L.A) This book is set in London at the beginning of the 2012 Olympic Games.
Here is the plot.
This book is a thriller novel set just before and during the 2012 London Olympics. Peter Knight is an investigator for Private London, a subsidiary of Private, a private investigative agency led by Jack Morgan in the United States. Private London has been commissioned to provide security for the London Olympics. Private London has been thrown into some disarray, because a number of its personnel were killed in an airplane crash just before the Olympics began.
Just before the Olympics begin, someone beheads the fiance of Knight's mother. The slain man is a member of the Olympic games organizing committee. After the murder, Karen Pope, a reporter for The Sun, receives a letter from a person who calls himself Cronos. Cronos claims he will kill persons involved with the Olympics who he considers corrupt. Cronos does just that, even infiltrating Olympic security and Knight's home. Throughout the novel, Cronos and his underlings kill those considered corrupt and anyone who gets in their ways. Near the end of the book, Private Games takes an unexpected twist.
So I hope to finish this soon.
2. Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Enigma by Eric Van Lustbader
Soo I started reading this on my Kindle on the Train to Edinburgh and got really into it. It's completely different to the Bourne in the films, which is actually quite refreshing.
I am past halfway in this book so I should be finished soon enough.
Here is the plot
On the eve of Russian general Boris Karpov's wedding, Jason Bourne receives an enigmatic message from his old friend and fellow spymaster. In Moscow, what should be a joyous occasion turns bloody and lethal. Now Bourne is the only one who can decipher Karpov's cryptogram. He discovers that Karpov has betrayed his sovereign to warn Bourne of a crippling disaster about to be visited on the world. Bourne has only four days to discover the nature of the disaster and stop it.
The trail Karpov has been following leads Bourne to Cairo and the doorstep of Ivan Borz, the elusive international arms dealer infamous for hiding behind a never-ending series of false identities, a man Bourne has been hunting ever since he abducted former Treadstone director Soraya Moore and her two-year-old daughter and brutally murdered Soraya's husband.
Bourne must travel to war-torn Syria and then Cyprus as he chases the astonishing truth. The clock is ticking, and Bourne has less than four days to solve Karpov's riddle—and hunt down Borz—if he hopes to prevent a cataclysmic international war . . .
So that's all for now.
Till next time
