Borrowed this from one of the ladies in comic book club after I expressed that I wanted to read other Rucka books after my dissatisfaction with Whiteout. This one is 10x better. ( ) Greg Rucka is the writer of the comic series Queen and Country, which my husband enjoys. It was on his recommendation that I decided to read A Gentleman’s Game. Mr. Rucka brings his comic characters into the world of the novel, offering a wider range of readers a view of the British Special Operations Section of MI6. Tara Chace is Minder One, the top of three Minders who are basically the British assassination team. Tara is assigned to assassinate the terrorist being held responsible for the triple bombing attack on the London Underground, which killed over 300 people. Tara is met with the usual government politics, which stand to get in her way and challenge her every move. A Gentleman’s Game is a fast paced and adrenaline raising spy novel. As a person who has never read the comic series, I found that this book stood alone very well. I had no problem getting to know the various characters and understanding what was going on. This is a novel that feeds into the current American public’s hunger for books about terrorism and the Middle East. It was well crafted, exciting and impossible to put down. My blog post about this book is at this link. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
