Target Two

Action, adventure, suspense which Jack Mars is noted for full this novel. The characters are well developed. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Jacob and Jana are back

I've become a fan of Jack Mars and he is definitely expanding the number of series that he is putting out. While this is only the second book in this particular series, it is a bit distinctive on its own.

This is still a CIA type thriller, but it is not as...I guess the words would be as "in depth" as some of the other things he writes. I don't mean that in a bad way at all. This series has shorter length books and they are a bit more superficial and quicker resolved.

They also revolve around two main MC's. The female MC is a non-CIA type. In fact, she is an archeologist whose father was a very famous CIA agent who is considered MIA. The male MC is a former military man who was actually rescued and saved by the female MC's father in a very odd and difficult situation.

The series so far has been dealing with the male MC - Jacob Snow - handling terrorist threats in the Middle East. That is how the two MC's find each other. She - of course - has the knowledge of history and specializes in that particular geographical area.

Realistically, the believability factor has to just be thrown out the window. I mean, he is a complete SOLO agent who never seems to have back up and she is an archeologist, but is able to keep up with Jacob and defeat the bad guys...many, many bad guys....quite often.

With that being said, if you go into this series just for the entertainment factor, you will leave satisfied. It is a great way to spend a couple of hours in a story that wraps up the story arc fairly quickly in a satisfactory manner with the good guys coming out on top.

Sometimes that is just what we need.

A Light Thriller

I would say the target audience for this kind of writing is young adult or someone who wants some light escapism. It was definitely enjoyable & entertaining.

Not on a par with Agent Zero or Luke Stone

There didn’t seem to be a good reason for Jana to follow Jacob. The plot was highly reminiscent of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The deus ex machina was a little too hard to believe, as the two characters miraculously show up in the nick of time to save each other’s lives over and over. The narrator wasn’t bad, but sometimes it was difficult to distinguish his characters, and it was too easy to let my attention wander while he was reading. Mr. Mars should go back to Luke Stone and remember what made his books so riveting back then.
