Meet terrorism’s worst enemy.
Robert Garcia was an unremarkable man, tapped out of a promising military career to become a death squad assassin for the CIA. Retirement was not in the cards for Robert, so he disappeared instead. After he comes out of the cold to answer the call to aid a fellow soldier facing a bum rap, he is thrust back into the spotlight when he is in the wrong place at the wrong time and kills a terrorist, thereby saving dozens of lives. He finds gainful employment in the slaughter of jihadists, which sparks an urban social media legend that Robert, a dangerous and unfeeling assassin, is a living paladin whose mission is to rid the earth of evil for the betterment of mankind. Social media gives him the name, “Paladine”, and god help whoever gets between him and his next target.
Predictable But Good Read The issue of vigilante justice has always been controversial in our society, and this novel focuses on that matter in great detail as pertains to terrorist activity. As some other reviewers have stated, the story line is somewhat predictable with the end perhaps even more so as Paladine continues his search for terrorist activities. But it was a good read, a quick one for me, and I will most likely look for another book as the scenarios continue for Paladine.
Thought provoking story. “Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes.” Robert KennedyÂ
Robert Garcia akaPaladine I’m rooting for the bad guy I love Kenneth Eade’s writing.Â
