My Review
A really
tough book to put down. This is a good thriller with lots of twists and turns. Marie
is a child prodigy, a scientist trying to create another source of energy for
us. A small mobile type of solar energy. One to help med units, army units,
people living in the wild, well many, many things. Enough things to make the
big companies nervous enough to make sure she can’t sell it. One of the guys
that intends to make sure she can’t sell it was told she stole it and he
intends to get it back for his company. David, a decorated soldier, has no idea
that a killing is in the planning.
This is a
different sort of plot; maybe a little more modern than what you might be used
to. Different enough to keep me reading and good enough to keep me guessing a
little at who would be good and who would be bad. This is not a book with a huge
amount of main characters although there are several characters involved. I had
no problem knowing “who was who”, so to speak. I think that’s because Kelly did
a very good job with defining her characters. Each seemed to have his or her
own unique personality. There is a little romance in this book; not enough to
ruin the book for me. It is more romance in the sense of desire than sex (can
there be a difference for that).
Sun Storm is
Book 1 of a series titled “The Gathering Storm Series”. Marlow Kelly has
several books published, all with good reviews.
Read an excerpt...
“You’re the one who broke into my cabin. I didn’t make you associate with criminals. And for the record, my life hasn’t been all sunshine and flowers since you crashed through my door,” she shouted back, shocked by her own reaction. What was wrong with her? She never argued, raised her voice, or confronted anyone. David was making her crazy. It was the only explanation. For some reason, she had no problem arguing with him. Maybe it was because he was so aggravating.
She pointed a finger at him. “And I’m really sick of you forcing me into cars.” It was as if all her fear and stress were curled in her chest waiting for an outlet, and he was it.
“What?”
“I’ve known you for less than twelve hours, and you’ve pushed me into a vehicle three times.” She knew she was being unreasonable, but couldn’t stop.
He rolled his eyes. “Where are my manners? The next time someone’s trying to kill you, I’ll just politely ask if you’d like to get in my truck. Do you want me to curtsey while I’m at it?” He shouted the last part.
“There’s no need for sarcasm.” She sat straight, folding her hands in her lap, hoping if she gained control over her body, then she would gain some much needed restraint over her emotions.
“I think there is, and do up that window. It’s freezing in here.”
She did as she was asked, but only because her fingers were numb with the cold.
