The Fourth Perimeter by Tim Green


This is the first time I have read a Tim Green novel. He has a nice style, it is paced well and it kept my attention. The plot was a little too transparent though. The true villain was too obvious way too soon. Otherwise it was a good story. Loss of a child and the anguish and anger that can accompany the loss was well portrayed. The protagonist was portrayed with raw emotion and fallible behavior. As mysteries go it wasn’t too mysterious but as action and adventure I recommend it.

Body of work of Tim Green

The Mark of the Assassin by Daniel Silva




An opinionated but lovable 3 star Air Force General acquaintance recommended Daniel Silva and suggested that his work often accurately portrays some confidential events in a fictional manner. I decided to start with his very first successful novel and found it very interesting. It takes place about 10 years ago and depicts event that are now historic. The existence of an international economic cabal orchestrating world wide catastrophic events is frighteningly plausible, particularly with the amoral greed recently uncovered in the American banking industry. Regardless of the reality or lack there of in the prose, the story is compelling and captivating. A good but unsettling book, I recommend it.
