Saul, Greg and Thom were all members of the elite FBI unit HRT (Hostage Rescue Team) and when Thom is killed, the two remaining members become targets. Saul teams up with Rosa, Greg's ex-wife, who works for Homeland Security when riots sweep the USA. The riots are all being masterminded by uber-gamer, Red, who is manoeuvring people like pawns on a chess board as he turns virtual reality into reality. Red is after a certain prize: an antique gas mask last seen in Thom's possession, putting anyone who knew Thom in immediate danger. The question is: can Saul and Rosa stop Red before it's game over?
It actually gives me goosebumps just thinking about events in Riot. We hear so much on the news about shootings and knife attacks influenced by computer games so I wouldn't be surprised to find the events in Riot replicated in real life at some point. Or perhaps they already have been...
Riot is a very clever book, but I have to say that it was sometimes a little bit complicated - it's quite technological so anyone who likes gaming and computers will positively love it. I know my fair share of computer coding but I've never been one for computer games so I did find it hard to engage now and again. Fortunately, Saul Marshall is such a well-developed character that he maintained my interest when the story sometimes got a bit geeky and with Saul around there are always going to be a multitude of heart in the mouth moments to raise my eyebrows and drop my jaw.
Richard Davis is a highly talented author and I am frequently recommending the Saul Marshall series to other readers. Riot can definitely be read as a standalone but it will make you want to read the other two books in the series to find out Saul Marshall's back story, so my recommendation would be to read them in order to get the most out of them. Needless to say, I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens next in the colourful, crazy and unpredictable life of Saul Marshall. Riot is so shockingly true to life that I defy anyone to read it without getting goosebumps.
I chose to read an ARC and this is my honest and unbiased opinion. (
