The BookViral Review:
With its relentless pace, a smart plot, and top-notch writing, The Haze makes for a most appealing and compelling read. A read that transcends its obvious timeliness (Hawkes’ prescient subplot of an engineered Coronavirus!) to say much about personal loyalty and institutional betrayal.
Sophisticated reading is something of a rarity these days and a debut novel with interesting characters in a dense, intelligent storyline rarer still and it’s a credit to Hawkes that he excels on all levels.
It’s not a read to be rushed. Hawkes’ plot doesn’t follow a linear progression from problem to solution. The world of clandestine operations isn’t like that and on this level, it’s the plot’s process, not the progress that makes The Haze a powerful and intriguing read.
With superb character development, Hawkes creates sympathy for individual characters in their specific situations without dictating what we are supposed to think about the big picture. Central to this is Agent Hector Kane who’s bored and fed up with spinning his wheels and looking for something to bring meaning to events in which he has been embroiled. A superb character study his story is told with equal parts passion and calculation, with compelling real-world relevance whilst putting a fallible human face to covert operations.
Exciting, fascinating, absorbing, The Haze is a must-read for fans of Spy Stories and is recommended without reservation.
An in depth look at the book of Revelation and supporting scripture and prophesy, ‘Understanding the end Times’ points the reader towards the culmination of foretold Biblical events, the theory of the ‘Rapture’ and the possibility that the world of Mankind is hurtling towards an unstoppable cataclysmic event, controlled by spiritual beings far more powerful than themselves.
A prequel to Masked Intent: A Modern-Day Morality Play Greer’s Intermezzo proves another ravishing, romantic read that’s brimming over with style, intelligence and flashing wit.
Romance novels in their various forms explore the ups and downs of relationships but the quickest way to kill a relationship with a lover is through………
Heroes come and go. That’s certainly true of the fictional variety where very few linger in the mind beyond the last page of a novel. So what makes the perfect fictional hero?
Possibly the trickiest of all writing genres, the thriller comes with high expectations, which are hard to fulfil. So what do we expect from a thriller, and why do we enjoy reading them so much?
Is there a better way to live and can self healing books set us on the right path?
