Critic reviews

"A head-spinning plot, adrenaline-fueled action, and a mind-blowing premise. The Hawk Enigma is one you won't want to miss." (Susan Furlong, author of Shattered Justice, A New York Times Top 10 Crime Novel of the Year)

Gripping and insightful story

I enjoyed reading this book. The plot was intriguing. It dealt with the hardships of war and the mental struggles of our military personnel while still bringing a real scenario to life. It gave me greater appreciation for the hard work and sacrifice to our military. The action, characters and plot will drive you to finish this book and want more. I hope there is a sequel in the works.

Non-Stop High Tech Action

Hancock takes his readers on an action-packed roller coaster ride at the intersection of technology and human consciousness. Great listen and compelling details. Can’t wait for Voodoo Series #2.

Modern technology

Is this the direction military tech is going? Cool and scary. Great listen. Would love to see on the big screen.

Riveting

Fascinating ethical dilemmas, fun twists and turns, exciting use of intelligence, and human nature to abuse power.

Great read with a new main character genre

If you like Tom Clancy novels or Jack Carr's Terminal List series, you'll love The Hawk Enigma.

Very refreshing to read/listen to a new genre of main character. Voodoo the "enabler" is a shot of adrenaline with all the tech skills that go so underappreciated in the military and war thriller genres.

Hopefully the author continues to write and offer more Voodoo type characters to the genre!

Great story from start to finish. easy to listen to and keeps you hooked the whole time.
