Blog tour: Operation Turquoise: The Mavericks

 On the blog tour today for this quick but exciting thriller!

One is a brave soldier, the other a deadly terrorist. A camera will decide which man survives.

The Major is a seasoned field agent, and neutralizing a target is routine for him. But everything about Operation Turquoise, from the target to the weapon, is disturbingly unconventional. Alone in a foreign country, the Major must execute each stage of his mission with utmost precision. There is no Plan B.

My review: 

A short, exciting read with an Indian government agent as the hero, fighting a terrorist group who, reminiscent of the Free French in the Second World War, communicate with broadcast poetry. The hero is young and enthusiastic and loves his job, which is quite refreshing in literary espionage circles – he is also somewhat naif, which adds nicely to the tension. What will he learn? Which of his assumptions will come crashing down? There’s perhaps a little too much description of the organisation for my liking – I’d prefer the plot to move on, but I know that in this genre many readers like rich technical description. All in all, action-packed!
