Review:The Valley of Shadows by Mark Terry
4 STARS
This was a good thriller book. A little too much swearing is
the one thing I could have changed.
Intell from a raid on a terrorist cell where they came across a
computer that the bomb did not go off said they were
planning attack on voting day in 5 US cities.
A group of agents from FBI, Homeland security and
office of the Director of National Intelligence counterterrorism
will go to each of the 5 cities to try and stop it.
Derek Stillwater is not known as a team player. He is
assigned to LA. Derek has quite a rep. for getting things
done. people around him dying and breaking rules.
Derek gets into trouble from everyone it seems and
thats on the good guys side. He is very smart and
does not take everything at face value.
This is the first Derek Stillwater book that I have
read and I have enjoyed it. I would love to go and
read the earlier books.
I have messed up and not sure where I got this
ebook from. I know that I did not buy it and the
file I put it under says Librarything but don't show
getting it from thier or Netgalley. I do get emails
straight from Oceanview saying some books are
free at amazon right now. I did get it free and not
paid anything for my honest review.

A fast paced thriller with good twists and good characters. With the recent events in the world this thriller dealing with terriorists is perfectly timed. I would recommend this book to thriller readers along with readers who enjoy fact paced intelliegent twists and turns in generalized ficiton. ( )

The Valley of Shadows was a very fast paced book that kept my interest from start to finish. Parts of it reminded me of Vince Flynn books with his character Mitch Rapp. Mark Terry's character Derek Stillwater has the same type of drive and resolve to cut through all the red tape and just get the bad guys. He trusts his gut feelings on what to do and where to go next in his pursuit of those who would hurt and destroy our country and our people. I hope Mark Terry has another book in mind with this character so we can get to know more about him and those around him. If you like a fast read filled with more action than words, try this book. I am sure you will like it very much. ( )

I found this book entertaining and fast moving. It held my interest. A raid in Pakistan on an Al-Qaeda cell has resulted in the recovery of two laptop computers that point to a series of terrorist attacks planned in the United States in the Autumn of a presidential election year. Derek Stillwater is a troubleshooter for the Department of Homeland Security and one of a team of investigators tracking down the mysterious plotter who seems to be leading investigators on a wild goose chase while trying to hide his real target. I would now like to read other books in the Derel Stillwater series. ( )
