Luke Waters, a native of Finglas, North Dublin always wanted to follow in his grandfather and brother's footsteps into An Garda Síochána, until, as for many other Irish men and women in the 1980s – America beckoned. After some time as a barman, Luke followed his dream and enrolled in the New york Police Dept, and he joined the ranks of the NyPD in August 1993. Luke went on to become a detective in narcotics and eventually in homicide, in one of the toughest places in the world, the Bronx. Luke gives a personal account of his 20-year career where he would experience the best and the worst the job had to offer, from drugs, gang warfare to the still gut wrenching 9/11 attack on America. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and could relate to the hurdles and young adult life experiences of the author. Highly recommended reading. SS author: Jack Silkstone Publisher: Amazon Digital Services, Inc. (June 2015) www.primalunleashed.com aSIn: B00V6IVUWW Price: €5.50 Pages: 286 The PRIMAL series is based on a highly skilled secret international black ops team who use cutting-edge technology, equipment and tactics, as they go up against powerful criminals, corporations and government agencies when the law or other governments won't or can't. PRIMAL Redemption is the third instalment of the Redemption Trilogy, which is the finale of the PRIMAL team's current battle against a renegade directorate of the CIA. PRIMAL's island base is under large scale surveillance by CIA assets and analysts, and captured intel confirms a PRIMAL operative - thought to have been killed in a past mission - is being kept in a CIA rendition site. Bishop, Mirza, Saneh and the rest of the team have to go on all out attack, firstly to rescue one of their own and secondly so that everything they've achieved so far will not have been in vain. Going blow for blow with the CIA backed private military companies, in different theatres of war; will this be the end of PRIMAL as we know it? Having read all the PRIMAL books so far, I highly recommend reading them, in this order: PRIMAL: Origin, Unleashed, Vengeance, Fury, Reckoning, Nemesis and Redemption, and also the stand- alone prequels PRIMAL Mirza and PRIMAL Inception. Next to come is PRIMAL Renegade. WF
