Jed Walker is a man that knows his stuff and can get himself out of any situation. He will kill bad guys without a second thought but he is a man with a conscience. He is not about to harm the innocent or leave a lady stranded. He believes in protecting his country at all costs.

The Spy is the first novel in the Jed Walker series and the reader gets to know the background of Walker and some of the supporting characters.

I liked the short chapters which are perfect if you are strapped for reading time. You can just read a quick chapter whenever. As each chapter progresses there is a countdown to a deadline. Reading the chapters and checking the time left was like watching a bomb timer ticking down. As the clocked ticked down the suspense ramped up.

Jack Reacher, Mitch Rapp, Jed Walker. I don’t care if they are similar. I can’t get enough of these good guys, putting their lives on the line, fighting the baddies to make this world a better place.

My only complaint would be that there are a lot of characters introduced in this story and I got confused who worked for who and who was on which side. This becomes clearer towards the end when the main characters take over the story line.

If you are into espionage, politics and intrigue you will enjoy The Spy. ( )
