"Red Right Hand" released on Sept., 13, is the second book featuring the trained assassin Michael Hendricks.
Is the the novel "Red Right Hand" an intense thriller with colorful characters, rich with humor who wittingly thwart evil deeds, or is it a barrage of boring people fighting government corruption and Middle Eastern terrorism?
I didn't read the first book featuring the main character Michael Hendricks, "The Killing Kind." If "The Killing Kind" is half as bad as "Red Right Hand," I'm extremely confessed as to why a second book was even written.
The F-word was used way too much in this book, maybe third graders love this word used for absolutely no reason, but the profanity was unnecessary and pointless, unless the author was catering to the extremely unenlightening with no imagination.
The story kicks gets going right away when a tug boat driven by TIC, True Islamic Caliphate terrorist ram San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge doesn't even collapse, and the injuries and casualties are extremely minimal. Right of the bat, no intensity and the lack of character development throughout the entire book left the reader with the who cares what happens next attitude.
The female side kick Cameron who is meant to be charming and funny is as enlightening and entertaining as jet black charcoals on the oven floor. Not a single moment went by when I was concerned for the life of any of the characters and when Cameron saved Hendricks life, it was a so, the story continues, oh shucks kind of deal.
I surprised myself by reading the entire book, one and half stars for this hapless novel. The only reason it gets this high of a rating from me is because Holm, the author does acknowledge that all world leaders create war solely for money. Share holders in all parts of the world are profiting from war, an endless sad reality.
