Review: A very good read. - Well written and full of action. Never boring. Enjoyed the plot twist and good guys winning. Can’t wait for the next episode.
Review: ...a complicated but appealing and alluring action thriller. - Book Review – Cold Barrel Zero – Matthew Quirk Author Matthew Quirk has written an energetic, but complicated military/espionage thriller in the first book of the protagonist John Hayes series entitled, “Cold Barrel Zero.” With a crisp, uncluttered style that does more with less, Quirk pens an interesting ‘David versus Goliath-like’ story that explodes with pulse-racing action, interesting supporting characters, and penetrating and wonderous suspense. He delivers a remarkably powerful conspiracy read that leaves the reader questioning how much we, the American people do NOT know about deep undercover intelligence missions and how easily today’s paramilitary black ops operators can become tomorrow’s most wanted. There is more than meets the eye in this highly intense and absorbing conspiracy thriller. If thriller readers like an abundance of action, sly spying, and high anticipating suspense, then they will find Cold Barrel Zero a powerful and gripping read. Quirk's writing makes the reader keep reading, and while the story is a little puzzling at times, it led me to focus and concentrate which made the narrative more appealing and alluring. This "nothing is what it seems" story along with its breakneck pace of action is what made this novel an intriguing read. Cold Barrel Zero is an exciting first book of the John Hayes series.
