“or a moral, but it needs to be bloody, and it needs to be fun. This book is both of those things, and in spades.
It is also deeply, and unintentionally, silly.
It doesn't seem that way, at first. There's an intro about the importance and glorious history of professional protectors, in both Eastern and Western cultures. Then we get our hero, Savage, starting a new rescue assignment. Then we get a flashback, which starts very well...
And ends with a moment so OTT it becomes splat-stick.
Back to the present, where the impossible sends Savage, his principal, Rachel, and their new(ish) friend, a modern-day samurai, on a wild goose chase across the globe. There are sober discussions about honor, info-dumps about contemporary geopolitics, an unconvincing romance...
And a final act so bonkers it makes the initial flashback seem quite tame.
There's decapitation, off-the-walls Kennedy conspiracy theories, false memories, and psycho-surgery, all of which are less ridiculous than the romantic plot.
And I dug it.
Look, this is an early-90's action thriller, to the point that T2-era Michael Biehn would have been perfectly cast as Savage in a movie version. It takes itself a bit too seriously at times, but that's small beer. Not one of Morrell's finest hours, it's fun, but you won't respect it in the morning.”
