Full Black is a thriller novel by Brad Thor. Brad Thor is also known as "The Master of Thrillers," according to Bookreporter.com. I chose to read this book because one of my friends recommended it to me because he knew I liked these kinds of books. When I first read the summary on the inside of the page, I was instantly hooked. An ex-Navy SEAL is trying to stop a terrorist group while at the same time, a movie producer's house in the hills of Hollywood is broken into. The book starts with Scot Harvath (the Navy SEAL) making a car full of terrorists run into a tree. Scot replaces Mansoor (one of the terrorists) with an American, Sean Chase, that looks like an Arab to Arabs but also looks American to Americans. He answers a phone call for Mansoor and gets told to meet up at a gas station.
The book then switches over to Hollywood. Luke Ralston pulls up to Larry Salomon's house and drops a drunk Larry off. Luke is a "technical consultant", meaning that he shows the actors in Larry's films how to properly use weapons in action scenes. Luke starts to pull out of his driveway but notices tire tracks leading to the service drive of Larry's house. He turns the headlights of his car off and goes down the road. When he gets to the end of the drive, there is a car with its headlights on. He tries to call Larry but his phone was disconnected. Luke goes into the house and sees a group of dead people that have been shot. He hears a creak from the floor and turns around. A man is standing there with a pistol pointing at him.
Wow your blog looks great! I love how the black background gives suspense when you wrote that there was a gun pointed at his head. I also likes how you capitalized the words to show importance and emphasis
ReplyDeleteThis books looks great I might just have to pick it up for myself. One of my favorites parts about your summary is that the book itself has two completely different lives occurring at once. I also enjoyed the mystery you left us at the end, it sure made me want to read this book.

ReplyDeleteThis book seems to be a very interesting thriller. the way the story flows just drags me in and by showing all the key points. One of my favorites parts about your summary is that the book itself has two completely different lives occurring at once. That idea is something that i love to see in books and i might as well grab a copy up for myself.
