Intense From Beginning To End

5 out of 5 stars

Respect where respect is due – check out how awesome this cover is. Onur Aksoy is listed as the cover artist and I thought that they really did this book justice.

The best part about these Caine: Rapid Fire Novellas is that they are tightly packed action from beginning to end.  But, you don’t miss any of the character and world building.  Warren & Bailey are able to do both in the same novella without turning it into a novel.

Depth Charge, as mentioned above, was insanely fast-paced.  It weaves a couple of stories together – but basically, there is a Chinese submarine that is going to help the Mexican cartels deliver cocaine to the US.  There is so much more going on in this book and really describing much more would ruin it for you.

Warren & Bailey are able to write characters that really jump off the page.  Obvious Caine has been written about numerous times before, but other characters like the Chinese defector that comes up in Depth Charge are so well written.  When things change and other things are revealed you almost feel betrayed.  They did such a perfect job describing them – when things change – it’s almost hurtful, which to me is a sign of excellent fiction.  A character that is so well written that when things aren’t as they seem, I feel personally offended as a reader.

Overall, this might be my favorite Caine Novella yet.  I thought that the action mixed in with the personal stories made this one an absolute winner.

I really think that Warren has found a winner in Chris Abell as the narrator.  I absolutely love him portraying Caine – and for the rest of the characters, he’s just seamless.
