Five years ago, one of the wealthiest businessmen in America was assassinated by a professional sniper who was never caught. Now, the dead man's brother has finally tracked down the killer. The assassin, a man known only as Kelton, has retired and is happily married, living on the outskirts of London, his past buried and forgotten. But when a bomb explosion kills Kelton's wife and maims his daughter, the past comes flooding back, and now it is Kelton's turn to seek revenge -- with the help of the British government's super-secret intelligence agency, the Government Communications Headquarters, and its American counterpart, the National Security Agency.

I recently finished reading this book and was very intrigued by its depth, flow and intensity. Having been hooked by its introduction, I enjoyed the character development and its thrilling action. Being a huge Clancy fan I would recommend this book to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Superb Read, August 18, 2009

This review is from: Reflexive Action (Paperback)

It's the story of one man and his quest for vengeance. It's also an exploration of whether or not it can be justified. The story weaves interesting characters in a technical environment with thick plotlines that span global locations.

If you enjoy Tom Clancy novels you'll find yourself right at home with Reflexive Action. Although somewhat less of a "techno" book than some Tom Clancy efforts, a superb read none the less.

The plot is quite good, and probably somewhat more realistic than the world wars that act as the backdrop to most of Clancy's novels. The action sequences are excellent, and as the tension builds toward the end of the book you really will not want to put it down.

All in all this is Evans at his best, and is well worth a read, even if normally you wouldn't touch a Clancy type of book.
