This unforgettable gut punch of a techno-thriller features
Voodoo, a war veteran with exceptional shooting skills that commanded respect
among his peers in Iraq. He is haunted by images of the war and the only
respite he gets comes from his work at the military research lab in San Diego.
His dreams about the future are disturbing and he has the uncanny feeling they
might come to happen. In Japan, two scientists — Dr. “Taka” Hawkins and Dr.
Kenzo Ichikawa — go missing. These missing scientists have been working on the ''God
Algorithm'' and the third scientist, Dr. Naomi Shimoda, is worried dead
about her own future. Voodoo is contacted by his fellow vets and invited to
join a rescue mission in Japan. But what awaits him there is far worse than
anything he could have imagined, including the vicious yakuza and deadly
enemies sponsored by a shadowy rich man.
The Hawk Enigma by
J.L. Hancock is a fast-paced thriller that is loaded with action, a tale
with a protagonist that readers will want to see evolve through other stories.
Voodoo is a rock-solid character, but one that is genuinely flawed. His inner
world is vividly drawn and readers instantly get strong glimpses of his painful
memories and how they affect his life. There is a darkness that haunts him and
that becomes some form of stark premonition. I desperately wanted to see this
character succeed against the fully-stacked odds. Hancock's prose is dazzling,
the plotting is clever, and the breakneck speed of the tale makes it a
delightful read. The Hawk Enigma is
pulse-pounding with intrigue, rich in conflict, and features advanced
technological concepts. It's another winner for fans of technothrillers.
