MY VIEW
This action filled book will definitely get your heart to pumping. It is a fictional account of events that could be taken fro today's events. Our main character, Jake Conley, prevents a mass shooting in a theater, very much what happened in reality about a year ago. As you turn the pages, you will discover politics, greed, paranoia, corruption and so much more. You are definitely hooked after the first few pages. As Jake is recruited into a company called DSCC, privately owned and uses the best technology and the government agencies to reach ahead of surveillance to the point of taking over the privacy of individuals.You find yourself right along with him. I started wondering and realizing how many of these events have and could happen. My heart started beating fast as I realized this book has so much reality i n it. These things have happened, are happening and could happen. That's scary. In today's society you never know what will happen next. It could come to your front door. The author gives us a mix of truth and fiction. I started thinking about the powerful people and how they sometimes can do what they want and when they want. Power can be powerful. The power can be put to work in a good way or used in a corrupted way. I would suggest this book to anyone who likes a good book that makes you think and reflect. There's lots of action in this book, never a dull moment to bore the reader. The events in this book are a mix of reality and fiction. The reader should stop and think, this has happened, is happening and could happen. That's a lot to think about, but necessary.
I was given a complimentary copy of DEADLY PROVOCATION from the author, T.F. Coleman and OutSkirtsPress for my view of the book. No other compensation took place.
I would give this book 4 STARS.
