Kenneth EadeReseñas

An Edward Snowden like whistleblower leaks GMO (genetic modified O) food safety tests to the press and is considered a traitor to his company. How will he survive on the run?

It is an easy read and not very interesting.

The discovery of actual ISIS and related terrorist cells, training facilities throughout the United States of America inspired Kenneth Eade to write more than just another assassination thriller. He uses the legendary Paladine deity from the Dragonlance fantasy series as name bearer for his latest work of fiction. Meet Robert Garcia, a man with many names. His aliases and above the law status as a self-employed assassin, are the perfect cover to pop up and eliminate Islamic terrorists prior to their planned attacks. A dangerous mission that only disturbs the ISIS leadership, but also awakens the FBI and CIA.

The agencies are initially unable to trace this underground hero, but despite the high-tech, smart weaponry, and measures taken for coverage, also Garcia is a fallible human. Will he survive his masterpiece mission, or die on the spot? Will the cops bring him to justice, or let him continue doing what they're unable to complete? Paladine was a great read, up-to-date, and entertaining.

Ok, I'm thinking here about Brent not only being a gentleman to his FBI lady love but, also. He has this loving side where he values his committed relationship. He is the victim in this story yet you follow along with his strength. You trust he is savvy and he's got this.

If you really want, you could stay up all night and read all 303 page. It's like a movie you don't want to end. Raw Thriller. Brent Marks is tired and he isn't going to take it anymore.

I always wondered what lengths someone would have to go through to restore their online reputation. After all it's easy to lie and ruin someone online. The matter in this book could and probably has really happened. I wonder if the author is basing this on a real life event ?

An extreme legal thriller that probes deeper with each chapter. Captivating with intense detail about our hero Brent Marks who is the victim of online cyber bullying. Marks gets intertwined into a series of events while investigating the source identity of the individuals who are hiding behind the website that is defaming his online reputation. If you are tired watching lame old tv thrillers this book will spin you around the scenery and put you right in place for facing the evil side of the law .

However, Marks soon understands that when racially motivated violence is involved, things can get really complicated and almost impossible to solve.

To become a successful lawyer, he was forced to fight against his prejudice his entire life, so when the police assault takes place and he is accused of murder, his worst nightmares come to life.

Full review from Midwest Book Reviews:
Just as its title says, Predatory Kill: A Legal Thriller combines the genres of a good detective thriller with an exploration of legal process and, much in the manner of John Grisham, laces all this together with strong, believable protagonists who face the impossible.

All this comes from a lawyer/author, so the legal process is authoritative and specific as it relates a lawyer's move to take on cases that involve wider-ranging, more difficult issues of social importance.

As chance would have it, Brent's first venture into new legal realms involves one April Marsh, who instigates a case revolving around the predatory lending practices of big banks who have foreclosed on her parents' home.

It all seems pretty cut and dried ... until murder enters the picture.

With April's mother dead and her father severely beaten, lawyer Brent Marks finds himself confronting an impossible conclusion: that big business has moved beyond the boundaries of predatory lending and into the realm of predatory killing. But why? What is so important about a single home that would cause a bank to hire a killer?

That's the crux of an investigation that becomes more convoluted and complex as chapters go on, immersing readers in a series of legal and social encounters that involve twisted purposes, perspectives, and emotions gone wild.

Fans of Grisham will find equal talent here in Eade's ability to captivate and hold readers with the unexpected, both in character development in nonstop action which lays the foundation for a story that's anything but predictable.

The realistic dialogue is - well - simply killer; while action points in one direction, then often takes a 360-degree turn. In a world where plot and outcome are often predictable from the start, this will prove more than satisfying to readers already well versed in the legal thriller format.

Another note: there's plenty of legal process and background incorporated into the chain of events. This lends Predatory Kill more than a realistic feel, with courtroom proceedings and arguments fueling the fire for out-of-courtroom drama.

Atmosphere is not neglected for the sake of either legal process or character development (as is too often the case in this genre): take (for example) an opening chapter in the salvo of a battle that crosses into different territory: "To the novice, it may have a appeared that a storm was rolling down Stagecoach Road, accompanied by dark clouds and the roar of thunder. But it was not an act of God; rather, a pack of hogs rolling into the Cold Spring Tavern Saturday night. The clan of bearded men and tattooed women rumbled in on their bikes, peeled their leather coated bodies off their saddles, and packed into the bar area."

What does this rough-and-tumble piece have to do with lawyer Brent's courtroom appearances, which liberally dose the book with realistic arguments and legal encounters? Read Predatory Kill to find out.

One thing's for certain: you won't be bored by this page-turner's wealth of characters, settings, and unpredictable cat-and-mouse games. D. Donovan, Midwest Book Review

Really enjoyed this book. Fun, entertaining read with some thought provoking ideas.

I won this book through LibraryThing - Thank you!

Seth Rogan is a scientist working for a huge biotech company with great pay and wonderful perks. Both of which he enjoys to the fullest. Until one day he discovers his company has been falsifying documents on the safety of GMO's. They had been genetically modifying plants, mostly corn, to resist the pesticide they sell to kill weeds. Deemed safe by the company, Seth's findings told a different story. It is a trickle down effect that this GMO gets into the soil, the air and into the food chain chain. So ultimately into humans, which he believes (and there are studies), would link the GMO foods to obesity, cancer, diabetes, digestive problems, allergies, ADD and even gluten intolerance.

He wants to do the right thing and tell anyone who would listen about the potential dangers of GMOs and the wrong doing of his company. So he steals documents with proof and when he is discovered, he finds temporary refuge in Russia and the adventures begin.

The story is a fast read, the characters almost believable and the subject matter too scary and close to home. Will give you pause to consume anything corn related, and should, just in case.

Seth Rogan finds himself on the run from the U.S. government and asking for asylum in Russia until he can figure out what to do with the information he has. It seems the company he works for is genetically altering our plants we eat with deadly consequences. I found this to be a fast read and I really liked Seth and the people he meets in Russia. If I had a problem with the book it would be that there is too much technical stuff and it tends to be repetitive. But if you can get past that then you should enjoy the book. I received this from LibraryThing Members Giveaway for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book with reservations. It was an interesting read, but because of some grammar mistakes and typos, my reading pace slowed way down until I finished the book.
The best part for me was the Author's Notes at the end of the book; that 13 page part was a must-read and fascinating. I didn't know previously what a GMO was or was I interested. Now I find myself reading labels on grocery products and avoiding everything with those three little letters. (GMO)
