Path Of The Assassin by Brad Thor
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is certainly a thrilling novel. It’s rather well written (Though, did spot quite a number of typos in the text set). There’s a good story with good twists and turns. For the espionage adventure reader, there is a lot of fun and well worth reading.
However, something about the Thor books bother me. I’ve read about four of them and all leave me feeling that the stories are contrived. In this case, the idea that the hero is thrown together with someone who quickly becomes very good battling with well trained military members seems as if the author went through a checklist of characters to fill the story with instead of having a story and letting the characters create themselves. The other obvious intent of the partner seems the same. The final wrap up was various obvious from the start and frustrating to end with as compared to begin with.
I’ve got the entire Thor series and will likely try another down the road. Call me a sucker. I do like the overall story and the exciting scenes included.
Bottom line: I recommend this for the espionage/action/adventure reader.
