A
Noble Cause was an improvement over Greg’s first book Final
Price as was Legacy
of the Dragon over the previous novels. I enjoyed all of them but this book was even
better. J. Gregory Smith is going to be
a smashing success!
Burly Paul Chang and his quirky sidekick Nelson are
back. This story is one of international
terrorism, stalking and political intrigue.
Chang is still recovering from injuries from the previous
story. He is a complex character who is
constantly battling his internal dragon.
Nelson’s character of the consummate nerd is equally likeable. You find yourself seeing these two in people
you know. Greg does a great job with his
characterizations.
I found the story more colorful and delightfully complex
with a cynical view of politicians and their overwhelming personal
conceit. Max as a villain was just about
perfect. The circus connection provided
abundant color and sly humor.
A good story, lots of action, likeable characters, what’s
not to like? Oh, and lest I forget, a
terrific cover! My only criticism of the book is that there should be a better back story. New readers to the series may find themselves struggling a bit.
J. Greg Smith is
on track to be the next Lee Child.
Perhaps we could get Jack Reacher to meet Paul Chang, there would be
some serious action in that meeting.
Greg, how about Unleash The Dragon?
I highly recommend this book!

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
