Once again Stephen Templin pulls his plot from current
events. Chris Paladin is the
protagonist who is trying to balance his SEAL handle of Reverend with his self
image and personal identity when faced with grossly immoral terrorists.
Drones and cyber warfare are in the news daily. Templin combines the two for an action
adventure that includes a great deal of soul searching by Chris Paladin. Paladin's character is highly complex and very
introspective. He is contrasted against
Dr. Mordet, a psychopathic terrorist with a mystical streak.
The action and adventure are fast and often brutal. The characterizations are adequate with
Paladin and Mordet receiving the most detail.
Paladin's attempt to justify his role as a SEAL and protector of our
freedom with his role as an actual Reverend and his need to protect his and
others souls add a intriguing level of complexity to what might otherwise be
just another terrorist oriented action adventure.
I enjoyed the book.
