I’ve never personally met Charles
Sheehan-Miles, but I find that he’s an amazing author. He first came to my notice with a pair of
near-future SF/ thriller titles. Then he
switched gears radically and cranked out a trio of romance novels featuring the
Thompson Sisters. Now, he’s back in thriller
territory, with another trilogy of books in which he’s wrapping up the very complicated
story of that star-crossed family.
Girl
of Rage is the middle book of this trilogy. The book features Andrea Thompson, who at age
16 has now twice been the target of professional assassins. To say she’s having a rough few weeks is perhaps
an understatement. One would think that
the daughter of the soon-to-be Secretary of Defense wouldn’t be having these
kind of issues. One would be wrong.
Of course, Andrea is discovering that much of
what she thought she knew about her family is dead wrong, including who her
real father is. Apparently something
about that fact is worth trying to very publicly kill her over. Also in peril is her mother Adelina, who we
discover married Mister Thompson in Spain at the age of 16. Adelina is in California, dodging one
assassin, while Andrea and her ex-soldier brother-in-law are dodging others in
Washington DC. Also involved are not one
but two princes, Saudi and British.
The story is fast-paced, although both action
and characters are kept believable. Girl of Rage is a middle book in a
trilogy, and so both relies on the previous book and ends at a cliff. But since they’re ebooks and priced right,
don’t let that stop you from enjoying the latest from Charles Sheehan-Miles,
America’s most criminally neglected author.
9/10
