David Archer (4)

A solid start of a series. Noah Foster is an Army Sergeant over in the sandbox when he witnesses his commanding officer and others murder and rape innocent underage civilians. When his commanding officer and platoon members try and kill him for not participating he responds with deadly force and eliminates them files his incident report. He faces a court martial and is imprisoned for murder and is swiftly sentenced to death. A visitor provides him with a way out. Noah possesses a rare form show more of PTSD from childhood that makes him an ultimate soldier. He's emotionless and without a conscience other than those he imposes on himself, possesses a photographic memory, & is used to being a wolf in human's clothing. Perfect candidate for a secret agency that recruits him as an assassin. Well written & can't wait to read the next in series show less

I don’t know where the problem came about. It could have been in the proof reading, or lack of proofreading. The story itself was fine. Actually, it was a great plot; as well as great characters... but for some reason it just wandered off into way too many things that had absolutely nothing to do with this story. If you are just looking for a love story, then you won't mind all of the useless information; but if you are reading this because you want a mystery, then you may find yourself show more turning pages without reading all of the unrelated sections. The first book in this series was not like this at all. Too bad because David Archer is a really, really good writer. show less

A "prequel" or "memoir" of sorts by Noah Wolf explaining how he came to be as a requirement to his "government" job. I would read this book after reading "Code Name Camelot". He starts with the murder/suicide of his parents that triggered the lack of emotions to his human condition and continues the story through various foster homes and his small circle of fellow foster kids who helped him mimic behavior and emotions. The book ends with when he joins the military which is where "Code Name show more Camelot" starts. This was a quick read to better understand Noah Wolf as you continue reading the series show less

Sam Prichard starts out the book as a broken man. Due to an injury at work, he's been released from the police force--the only job he wanted to do. Eventually, his neighborhood starts sharing their expertise among each other. Sam is a fair mechanic so he trades those services for things like lawn mowing etc. Eventually, one of his neighbors comes to him with a tale of a missing granddaughter and asks Sam to track her down. Thus is born Sam's PI career.

Sam decides he needs the help of a show more computer hacker. Indie applies for the job. I admire the author for not having them fall into each other's arms from the get go. At the same time, I hope a relationship develops between the two as the series progresses. I like the two of them together. show less
