Ripped From The Headlines

4 out of 5 stars

I’ve known about these books for some time and I don’t know why I never really dove into them.  They’re technothrillers (one of my favorite genres) and they’re always written about interesting and current topics.  Breakfield and Burkey have teamed up with Derek Shoales from the beginning and he is the voice of this series.  I know this is book eight and I’m sure there were things that I missed having not read the other books – but it didn’t really feel that way.

The Enigma Broker tells a story of what would happen if the numbers that you trust can’t be trusted.  This could easily cause high-profile people to make decisions on incorrect data – and Broker shows us what happens in that case.

The story itself moved at a pretty good pace.  There were a few times where I thought that the dialogue felt a little forced or just clumsy – but that was few and far between.  The overall character building, most of the dialogue, and the sequence web-building are really well done and I can tell that is something the Breakfield and Burkey pride themselves on.

I thought that Shoales did a great job with this.  Utilizing different voices and accents to voice the many different characters that we are introduced to. There wasn’t a time that I didn’t know who was speaking and I chalk that up to his narration style.

Overall, a good technothriller that felt like it could happen.  Which is a sign of a book (and series) that is hitting its mark.  I felt like I could have read the results of Broker in a news brief and that scares me just a bit.
