What can I say, I’m on a roll, three posts in two days. I’ve been meaning to write this review for over a week now, after finishing the book, but with everything else in the way (namely work and Double Agent) I haven’t had a chance to. But now I do, so read on for my review of Overkill by James Barrington.

Wow. That was my first impression after I’d read the book, it was awesome. I read the sequel to this book, Pandemic, a few months ago while on holiday and thoroughly enjoyed it. So seeing it on Amazon dirt cheap I decided to snap it up and see if it was as good as the second one. And boy was it, brilliant writing, decent character development and an excellent plot. This really does keep you hanging on till the very end.

Honestly, this book is superb. Right up there with my other favourite authors instantly. Barrington really knows what he’s writing about, the writing transports you into the shoes of the main protagonist and the action is visceral and tense. Definitely a must read. Now if only he’d write a few more books like this.

My rating: 97%
