Book Review: Shadow (Marc Dane #4) by James Swallow

Hello Vriend,

Today review is about the fourth book in James Swallows Marc Dane series Shadow.

The first three books in the series are;

1: Nomad

2: Exile

3: Ghost

Marc and his partner Lucy Keyes are must save a genius bio-researcher when she is kidnapped. This researcher has the ability to create a deadly biological weapon.

The desperate search will take Marc and Lucy across the world where they will find out terrorist plan, they must do everything in their power to stop it.

The Lions Roar is a white supremacy group active in Europe, backed by the Combine they plan to unleash a lethal virus among the population of a major European city.

 

Shadow is a mixture of Mission Impossible and Jack Ryan where the leading man Marc Dane is the tech guy pushed into the field in an impossible situation. Trying to save the world any means necessary.

Marc has changed a lot throughout the series, taking more and more risks. I think he has become a bit of a danger junkie, who justifies his action as he is trying to save people. I wonder how long Marc luck will last.

Shadow shows the current tension in Europe and this makes it feels like its ground in reality. I like the fact that Jame Shallow didn’t take the easy route in his story telling.  He didn’t make the terrorist the Muslim refugee, but made the bad guys white nationalist.

By the end of the book, I feel that something is going to happen in the next book that will shock Rubicon to its core.

Shadow is a great addition to the Marc Dane series. A must read for anyone that likes the Thriller genre.

My rating for Shadow is 4 out of 5.
