Dark Harvest

Product Information

All across the USA, people are showing up dead. The deaths don't appear to be connected in any way until one particular death occurs and gets the Secretary of Defense's attention. He arranges for a task force to investigate. I wante …more Great question! Yes, Cain is very much the Big Bad of this series, and there were three aspects of his character that were important to me: If you don’t have the sentence “Then all Hell broke loose.” in your thriller, do they toss you out of the Thriller Writers Union? No, we don't get dudes mowing down hordes of the undead, but what action here is clinical and well thought out. One section had me almost thinking this was going to turn all Resident Evil. Third gripe is excessive dialogue. This is just a narrative thing for me, and I recognize it is a very subjective gripe. So much of the story is told via characters speaking to one another that I don't feel much of an overall narrative voice going on. I feel more balance between narrative voice and dialogue wouldn't have gone amiss here.

Meanwhile Dr Lori Dalton, an epidemiologist also in Iraq with the UN learns of a disturbing occurrence at a village not too far away. There is a report of all the villagers being dead with their eyes bleeding their mouths frothing. Dalton is alarmed and wants to investigate. Her boss vetoes this strenuously but Dalton defies him and takes a small contingent of medical and army personnel to see what is going on. It’s like a zombie apocalypse as not all the villagers are dead and they swarm the investigating team. This book is just fantastic! It kept me up late three nights in a row. I was so engrossed in the story that I was there in the room with the characters, right from the start. If you like your crime fiction to be full of tension and action, then this book is for you’

But this is the second novel of his (the first being "Redemption: Ryan Drake”) that wasn’t exactly a disappointment, but wasn’t memorable, and so I probably won’t want to reread it (which is the criterion I look for when awarding 5 stars). My one chief complaint is that the characters were nearly superhuman in their efforts to solve the mystery. At one point I laughed because there is no way that real humans could endure the series of events and keep going with the kind of single-minded resolve Cameron and Lori show. They make the Energize bunny look lazy! This is a solid action adventure with heroes you care about. It has a sci-fi feel to it and what I enjoy most is the author's imagination weaving the Dyatlov Pass event into the story. I hope that this is the beginning of new series! I've never read any of the Ryan Drake series, but if they're even half as good as this one, I am so down. I raise a glass to you, Mr. Jordan/Critical Drinker, because you certainly have a storytelling gift, and I'm thrilled that you've shared it with the world.

A character who stays behind to hold zombies off, and when asked not to stoically reveals a zombie bite Wow! Thanks for such kind words, Sam. Very much appreciated, and great to hear from people who really get what I'm working towards with this series. Following his trail of destruction, the team must fight to save Drake not only from a list of ruthless enemies, but even more urgently, from himself.It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” For fans of World War Z , a chilling mystery, an ancient threat, and a race against time to save humanity—inspired by the true events of the Dyatlov Pass incident

With the fate of the War on Terror hanging in the balance, loyalties are tested and scores settled, as Drake embarks on the fight of his life. Only one side will survive… Will Jordan is the bestselling, internationally published author of the Ryan Drake series. He was born in Scotland in 1983. His works to date include:The experience piqued his interest in military history, and encouraged him to learn more about conflicts past and present. Having always enjoyed writing, he used this research as the basis for his first thriller, REDEMPTION. He was able to supplement this with visits to weapon ranges in America and Eastern Europe, as well as research trips to Washington DC. For fans of World War Z, a chilling mystery, an ancient threat, and a race against time to save humanity–inspired by the true events of the Dyatlov Pass incident Will Jordan Hi Samuel. Book 6 is almost finished, and we've currently pencilled in a June 2016 launch date. We won't know for sure until the editing is done, but …more Hi Samuel. Book 6 is almost finished, and we've currently pencilled in a June 2016 launch date. We won't know for sure until the editing is done, but definitely this summer. Also I'm hoping to publish a novella shortly before this, but more details on that later. It sounds like a simple mission. But nothing is what it seems, and within hours of arriving in the war-torn country, Drake and his team find themselves caught in a deadly conflict between a brutal terrorist warlord and the ruthless leader of a private military company. And lurking in the shadows is a woman from Drake’s past determined to take revenge for two decades of betrayal.

Tech specialist Keira Frost has just graduated to the big leagues. But despite numerous commendations for outstanding achievement and a tour of duty under her belt, it’s a reputation for insubordination that precedes her with Agency f Ryan Drake, once a decorated field operative, is now wanted for treason. On the run from the CIA’s corrupt Deputy Director Marcus Cain, he has spent the past six months in a remote French safe house. Drake’s former life seems to be behind him, but the uneasy peace is shattered when Cain moves against him with startling force. Samuel wrote: "Hello again Mr Jordan. You probably know that I got Ghost Target for my smartphone on Android Google Play Books. I read it and finished it. My verdict? I loved the book. Es una novela de acción (otras personas utilizarán el término thriller), que comienza en un recóndito lugar de la Unión Soviética en 1959. Una expedición desaparecida en extrañas circunstancias y una conexión con el presente que puede llevar a la muerte de millones de personas. Dos desconocidos que se encuentran en una situación límite deberán colaborar para evitar la catástrofe. Sin poder contar mucho más, este es el guión de “Dark Harvest”, una novela que no tiene más objetivo que entretener a quien la lea.

Will Jordan Great question! Yes, Cain is very much the Big Bad of this series, and there were three aspects of his character that were important to me: A suspenseful, gripping read that transported me into the freezing mountains and had me guessing to the end.” It's also very well written, that may sound like a contradiction with what I just said, but the prose is efficient, vivid and does the job. I don't think there was a moment in this book where I wasn't grounded in the setting and following the action with ease and enjoyment. Por qué me llamó la atención? La compré por su autor, Will Jordan, un escritor escocés con más de diez novelas publicadas, y sobre todo conocido por su faceta de crítico de películas y series a través de su alter ego “The Critical Drinker”. En su canal de Youtube, en el que a diciembre de 2022 tiene un millón y medio de seguidores, Jordan muestra su hastío por las propuestas que tienen más interés en educar que entretener, y cierta nostalgia por películas de acción como “Terminator”, “Depredador”, o “Golpe en la pequeña China”. Bad guy from the MCs past that he thought was dead (among other very cliche bad guy tropes which would be spoilers to reveal you'll see what I mean if you read this)
