Read Book Review

Trust in the government is a hotly debated issue for many across the world. As Thomas Paine once said, “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” To trust in the government takes a major leap of blind faith, yet often a knowledgeable citizen is one who keeps one eye open. In author Donald Peters book Covert Decisions, one computer software developer and analyst discovers this harsh truth for himself as he uncovers a heinous plot.

In this book, Mark Taylor retired from his career in the United States Special Forces and took a job in security software for a computer company. After an unusual client offering a large cash offer creates a dangerous situation, Mark finds himself uncovering an international terrorist plot and unable to convince the government of its existence. He’ll have to combat the FBI and CIA to show the plot is real, and stop this terrorist act before more lives are lost.

This is a well written, lengthy and powerful read that captures the intensity of an international action/military thriller with the complexities of fully fleshed out characters. The author did a brilliant job of creating a narrative which would draw the reader in for the slow burn as the intense plot uncovered by the protagonist slowly begins to peel away the layers surrounding it, leaving a series of twists and turns that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

This is a novel for anyone who enjoys drama, action, international intrigue, mysteries and thrillers. As a fan of the genre, the story was intriguing and inviting as the story began to unravel before me. The lengthy read was a fantastic addition, as it fully realized this story into the complex reality of international terrorism and the justice system overall, especially when dealing with government agencies in the process.

This was a great read overall. A protagonist that was complicated and identifiable as they sunk further and further into the plot and a story that keeps the reader guessing at every turn make author Donald Peters’ book Covert Decisions an incredible ride that will thrill readers.
