Derek Harrington #1
Immediate immersion in a compelling story that deals with current issues related to counterterrorism within the USA, ex-military dealing with returning to civilian life while dealing with PTSD, and more. This book had me reading rapidly to find out what would happen.
What I liked:
* Derek: military veteran, decades of service, divorced, loves his son…and his ex-wife, anger issues, PTSD, father has dementia, financial difficulties, wants to provide for his family, in deep when a potential solution appears
* The plot, pacing, and writing
* That it was believable and written by someone who knows what he is writing about
* That Derek is not perfect
* Being able to admire Derek as a warrior, leader, and human being
* Derek’s wife who wants to keep her son and herself safe but also wants Derek to get help she feels he needs
* That there are black, white, and shades of gray in this story
* The introduction to the series that provides a lead character I want to know more about
What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* The manipulative people, the cult-feel of Sanctuary, that people who believe in a cause can be so deluded…and wondering how many people in the world are taken in by those like Marshal and his henchmen
Did I like this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Yes
Thank you to NetGalley and Tor Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.
