Konkoly raises his own bar
I've been a long time reader of Mr. Konkoly, and always been impressed how his books drop you right in the middle of the action from page one. He has a unique talent for drawing you into the story without sacrificing other characteristics of great writing including character development and accurate, detailed environments.
This new series... wow, what an accomplishment. Ryan Decker is fantastic new protagonist that rivals Mitch Rapp, Jack Reacher, and even Jack Ryan. While murder, betrayal, and revenge may seem like an easy trifecta to write to, Mr. Konkoly does it with such realism and engagement that you can't help but get attached to the characters.
Every book he's written is always so well researched, that while the characters are fictional, the environments and situations that he puts them are laced with such detail that you can't help be feeling as if you're right there with Decker, looking over his shoulder. This can only be accomplished by putting in the effort to research every little detail, a true hallmark of Konkoly books.
I can't wait to read the next one.
