It opens with August 2021 at the Kandahar airport complete with real horror.
Scene changes to California, a missing atomic scientist, an unknown with a knife, a wild chase, and more. This is one wild ride with lots of mayhem and danger. Wonderful and timely.

Broken Arrow by Cameron Curtis
A Breed Thriller #3

Action-packed, politically savvy, thrill ride from beginning to end – I could not put this book down.

What I liked
* Breed: ex-elite military, sniper, martial arts trained, independent contractor, lethal, intriguing, would like to know more about him and hope that I learn more as the series progresses
* Stein: CIA Director of Special Situations, intelligent, strategic thinker, capable, capable, not sure what her part will be as the series progresses
* Takigawa siblings: Ken who worked with Breed and is now married with a family and a business, Rin who lives and works in Japan and is the sister, Niko who is oldest and became Yakuza to be able to support his family – a lot to consider within this family’s dynamics
* Knowledge gained: broken arrow definition and some relevant history, Japanese cultural information related to the Yakuza, Article 9, and thinking – also had to look up overnight sleeper trains in Japan to see how they compare to the one I was on in Scotland
* The feeling of being there as the story unfolded – can definitely see this book as a movie
* The action sequences – all seemed so real, breathtaking, and death defying
* Wondering what makes people align themselves with certain ideologies and be willing to do anything to achieve their goals
* The way, once again, the opening and closing chapter seamlessly come together making the story resonate
* Thinking about the “what-ifs” this story stirred up
* Knowing that there will be another book to look forward to and wondering where Breed will be next and what mission he will be on

What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Knowing that there are people willing to do some of the evil me

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Yes

Thank you to NetGalley, Inkubator Books and the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
