One of the most dangerous tasks a person can have is a government job going undercover into dangerous situations. As John David Washington once said, “Like acting, undercover detective work requires a lot of performance. There’s just more pressure because it’s life-or-death situations.” In author Robert Gallant’s novel Jericho’s Trumpet, a mission to find a missing bomb takes a recent government agent into the dangerous world of ecological terrorism in an effort to prevent disaster.
A sequel to author Robert Gallant’s first novel Satan’s Stronghold, this action-packed thriller sees the return of Travis Weld and his government team as newcomer Chesney Barrett continues her adventures with the team, going undercover after an operation to retrieve a nuclear bomb is smuggled into the United States. This book helps cement Chesney’s rise as an action-packed star who begins adapting to a world of secret and lies in order to save lives.
A well written action-thriller, the novel does an excellent job of capturing two things. The first is the nail-biter of a mystery as a smuggled nuclear bomb hangs over the heads of the team as the race to stop a disaster fuels the characters mission during the storyline. The second is the relationship between newcomer Chesney and seasoned veteran Travis Weld, and the clash of approaches to the mission that both drives them forward yet keeps them on edge throughout the novel.
This is a book for anyone who enjoys an action-packed thriller that gets the intense story jumping from the very first page and doesn’t slow down, as well as those who enjoy good character development and government agents fighting terrorism and illegal operations. As a fan of the action genre it was great to see the evolution of these action characters throughout this novel and the even pace of the story combined with the character evolution of both Chesney and Travis.
A brilliant, evenly paced read, author Robert Gallant’s Jericho’s Trumpet is a must read novel that fans of the action genre will not be able to get enough of. An intense thriller that keeps the action going from the book’s opening pages and beyond, this is the perfect read for readers looking for a new action series to get engulfed in.
