Dark Harvest

Product Information

Qué me ha parecido? Me ha gustado. Es una novela entretenida y no busca nada más que eso: entretener y atrapar. Si alguien busca alta literatura siempre tiene el “Ulises” de James Joyce. La narración tiene mucho de película de acción, con tiroteos, persecuciones, malos malísimos, y viajes a lugares exóticos. Conforme avanzamos los capítulos se van haciendo más cortos, más rápidos, para transmitir la tensión de una cuenta atrás que los protagonistas tienen que parar. With the fate of the War on Terror hanging in the balance, loyalties are tested and scores settled, as Drake embarks on the fight of his life. Only one side will survive… I thought the author wrote action scenes well enough but it got a lot messier in between them. The first chapter this really stood out was chapter 8. There were other irritating details, like the author’s overuse of wordy idioms. “Under no illusions,” etc. He lives in Scotland with his wife and two sons, and is currently writing the next novel in the Ryan Drake series. In conclusion, I thank you for writing such a fine spy thriller which managed to provoke some very passionate reactions from me.

After graduating high school he moved on to university, gaining an Honors Degree in Information Technology. To support himself during his degree he worked a number of part time jobs, one of which was a Will Jordan is the bestselling, internationally published author of the Ryan Drake series. He was born in Scotland in 1983. His works to date include: For fans of World War Z, a mystery, an ancient threat, and a race against time to save humanity—inspired by the true events of the Dyatlov Pass. Reconozco que, si bien no estoy de acuerdo con todo lo que dice, coincido con muchas de sus críticas. Así que cuando anunció en su canal la publicación de “Dark Harvest”, decidí comprarla para comprobar si “predicaba con el ejemplo”. My wife and I read this book together (one of us read aloud while the other would drive or do a chore) and we were surprised at the inconsistent quality of the writing. There, he finds himself presented with an unexpected offer – travel to Libya, kidnap a high-ranking officer in Gaddafi’s much feared intelligence service, and return him to the UK. In exchange, Drake will be given everything his needs to destroy the career of the CIA’s corrupt leader, Marcus Cain.

But Cain needs information even more than he wants to take Drake’s life. The whereabouts of the mysterious Anya are unknown, and therefore she remains a threat, both to herself, and to Cain’s ruthless ambitions at Langley and beyond. He knows she’ll give everything to get Drake free, but can he know what – or rather who – she’s ready to take? Overall, a decent, decently entertaining read. Not quite as desired or expected for this specific reader, but plenty of thrills for others, likely. Dyatlov Pass remains a mystery. Thanks Netgalley. The main "hero" is extremely unlikeable and his dialogue is so incredibly cringy its hard to imagine someone would be so rude.

I was hoping more Dyatlov Pass and less military action story. I’m over half way through the audiobook and I keep zoning out. I feel like the Critical Drinker would rip this book new one.Russia, 1959. Nine members of a Soviet mountaineering team on an ambitious expedition into the Ural Mountains are found dead, victims of massive and bizarre injuries. The Dyatlov Pass, as this grisly event came to be known, remains unexplained to this day. If you don’t have the sentence “Then all Hell broke loose.” in your thriller, do they toss you out of the Thriller Writers Union? I felt this book has been written with a very current world-event narrative that included a WHO medic, a global plague and bio-terrorist created virus. At another time, I might have found it a more thrilling and fictional threat, but given recent events, I did not find the book to be very uplifting. Despite grave danger, the team is able to rescue Maras and return her to the United States unharmed. Drake’s part in the story seems to be over, but a chilling phone call from Munro reveals that his sister has been taken hostage. If he ever wants to see her again, he must free Maras and use her to uncover a secret the CIA will do anything to keep hidden, and Munro will do anything to uncover. DNF@ chapter 34. I hate to do this because I love this author’s YouTube persona/alter ego, but this feels like a bait and switch.
