Reviews: Clean Kill (1)
“fast paced nonsense”
(Paperback)
by Bretty
Hmmm, The third in a series that showed promise but has changed tack into the somewhat fast paced but unbelievable! Sniper ace Gunnery Sergeant Kyle Swanson and the black ops Trident team have to work with a Saudi Arabia in disarray with their King murdered and a rebellion in place. Much of this has been instigated by a foreign power, using Swanson’s old nemesis Juba as the architect. On discovery that the Saudis have five nuclear weapons it becomes a race against time to get to them before the rebels do. Well, it is comic book nonsense, but if you are willing to suspend all belief you might enjoy it. But you are going to have to ignore a few errors – a major attack on a castle near Edinburgh but the injured are taken to a Northern England hospital? The Royal Air Force has a commando unit? Some US reviewers have also pointed out errors in the weaponry...lots of caricatures here and way too little characterisation. And the authors have turned Swanson from a gutsy sniper into a Rambo like super commando. Instead of sending Special Forces troops in, the President calls for Swanson! Jobs that call for a multi-skilled SF team, and they send in a sniper! Nonsense. But if you ignore the problems, this has pace and is readable, it errors and lightweight plots annoy you, then this will not be for you. Three stars(just!).
