A Thumping Good Read
Blast Radius is the first of Mike O'Donell's books that I've read. It won't be the last. It's a compelling, multi-level thriller that moves continuously between the UK and the Middle East. A unique, intriguing, fast-moving story with authentic scenes set in Oman and interesting, life-like characters, whose dialogue is genuine and, at times, spicy.
A laboratory is developing a life-changing vaccine. It falls into the hands of criminals who want to use it for evil means. The owner of the laboratory summons the police and enlists the help of his son, an army officer serving in Oman. A deadly chase ensues to find the virus. The criminals resort to violence and the owner's son finds he's the target of an assassin.
A dramatic, nail-biting climax keeps the reader sitting on the edge of their seat and turning the pages until they reach the end.
An exciting, enjoyable read: full of suspense, and worthy of five stars.
