Retired DEA pilot Cale Coleman’s life has slowed to the leisurely pace of running a small charter operation and living the life of a recreational waterman. Coleman is both wrapping up a reunion for childhood friends and battening down the hatches for an approaching hurricane when his life gets a jolt of adrenaline. Francisco Escobar, nephew of Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, has spent the last two decades maintaining a low profile but now ready to expand his family’s empire. As Escobar plans for new business opportunities, he also wrestles with how to handle old grievances. AMAZON
Dramatic start. Then 20 years has gone by, and the action has cooled down quite a bit. Oh there is drinking and partying but there is also an old enemy who is out for revenge. Its may not be who you think at first, but the one coming after them is even more dangerous and even more ruthless. He's also had 20 years to get stronger and plan.
It was interesting that as the story went along, Cale often thought maybe he was being paranoid about one thing or another. Just about every time though, he wasn't; it was a foreboding or his own kind of warning system. No chills involved, like you hear explained by other people, in other books. There were times that it felt like the story dragged and got into a fair amount of detail about things I didn't really care about. But for me it was a character driven story. I liked and wanted Cale to win and I wasn't really sure how that was going to come about. Especially when it got closer to the end of the book. So be honest, I had mixed feelings about the book. The ending though? No mixed feelings there, it had a really good one. It had a dramatic start and then it had a dramatic ending.
Did this story have violence? Yes
Drinking? Yes ( see note above, the one about partying)
Flirting? Yes
Explicit Sex? No
Friendships? Yes
Torturing Assassins? Yes
Cliffhanger? No
Main Characters that were interesting? Definitely
