Spark by John Twelve Hawks


An interesting action thriller – 300 pages –well written – suspenseful, as far as things like this can be with an Asperger’s Syndrome protagonist.
 

This is a new book at our Guerneville Library, but a 2014 publication date.  It’s a bit too weird to make it to any prize lists or even best sellers. 
 

Besides arcane subject matter – slightly futuristic trained psychotic assassins in an evil world, the plotline takes forever to develop.
 

From another angle, the pace picks up to frenzy pitch in the last third of the book, almost manic in the last fifty pages.
 

The predictions of half a dozen medical experts, including a few psychiatrists do become completely true by the end of the book.  Maybe it was written by a shrink.

 

No skimming in this book.  The writing is riveting and important to the events of the plotline.  It makes more and more sense as the story unfolds.
 

In the end, it’s a tale of love and morality: truth and justice prevail.
 

I picked it up from the New Arrivals shelves,
and it goes back there tomorrow.
