Description
Alex Hawke is sailing into trouble when an around-the-world journey becomes a fight against terror in the latest exciting adventure from New York Times bestselling novelist Ted Bell.
After saving the kidnapped heir to the British throne, gentleman spy and MI6 legend Alex Hawke is due for some downtime. He’s got a new custom built sailing yacht and a goal: to get closer to his son Alexi during an epic cruise across the seven seas.
But fate and the chief of MI6, Lord David Trulove, have other plans.
There’s an unholy alliance of nations who are plotting to attack Western democracies. The wily intelligence leader plans to use Hawke to drive a knife into the heart of this conspiracy. From an island base off Cuba to a secret jungle lair deep in the Amazon, on the land and the seas, the master spy and his crew of incorrigibles are in for the fight of their lives—the fight for freedom.
Reviews
He’s hung on too long!
1By A Tuareg in the desertHe mailed this one in! Not nearly as good as prior works. Unnecessarily pompous, often disjointed, unimaginative battle sequences and remarkable in its jumpiness angle lack of any real suspense or build up.This killed my interest in Alex Hawke
1By GameSkepticSloppy plot narrative, conflicting details, poor story continuity. The example left ringing in my ears was a great yacht anchored, yet mysteriously moving, with churning props leaving a frothy wash. The battle scene was chaotic and the timeline frequently confused itself. I wonder if the editors and proof readers simply gave up.Delicious read with fantastic plot!
5By MagicMan9.19An absolutely delicious and fast moving read from Ted Bell! Well done sir! I’m truly savoring your next Alex Hawke spell binding adventure. Take your time, of course; but do hurry sir!!Poorly written
1By Dantheman1670What a mess. Used to like this series and author. Not sure if my tastes have changed or this writer has devolved. So many continuity issues and errors. Vizcaya was built by one family but the name changed a few pages later. Speed boat is red, then it’s blue. Not to mention the absurd assumptions. He sinks a Chinese sub that has not fired on him and there are no ramifications? Just a real dumpster fire book.Seahawke
1By dortydaveSimplistic, implausible on all fronts and corny. What happened to the Alex Hawke who earned his victories without literary shortcuts and two paragraph, implausible battles? Big disappointment.Missed expectations
3By jyoukerI’m so very sorry to have waited with such high anticipation of a fantastic book instead to find a tale of many disconnected adventures that were difficult to get thru. I’m a big fan of all the other books just this one not so much.What?
2By utdjgfjhfcryt!This was a huge disappointment. Great characters reduced to cartoonish afterthoughts. Has to be a ghost writer.Who wrote this book?
2By irishHoganThis booked was a big disappointment for sure. I am used to the Alex Hawke series of books flowing from beginning to end and this did not. It lurched from scene to scene so painfully that I literally questioned who the author was. Fiction is one thing but this book was fiction of fiction with strange interludes (Devereux doesn’t kill Smith ? Really… and the interactions with his son are beyond the pale) throughout. It ended with Anastasia strolling back into his life so clearly the stage is set for the next book but I certainly Ted gets his rhythm back.Sea Hawke
3By Bus driver23Way to much leaving the main story line to talk about books main character has read.The best!
5By VassmyTed Bell is at it again with a fun, clever and oh so elegant story of adventure. A fun read and a perfect Christmas present for those on your list!!
