Reaper: Drone Strike by A.J. Tata, Nicholas Irving
4.0
I received this book in a Goodreads giveaway.I really wasn't sure if this is the type of book that I would like... but really I was pleasantly surprised.
There is a lot of military jargon here, but it ends up being explained pretty well, so I knew what was going on.
Harwood, the Reaper, is the hero here, and he is really a hero. He seems able to antipode everything and is able to do almost anything sets his mind to. I don't know enough about snipers or Army Rangers or really anything to be able to tell you if this is accurate or not.
Sassi, one of the characters with a viewpoint in the book, is the damsel in distress type, but actually seems able to save herself when the need arises. She bothered me the most of the characters though, because she made stupid decisions that got her into trouble in the first place. She also thought that because her mission was for the greater good nothing would happen to her... and that seemed a little childish of a viewpoint. Regardless, I think she grew on me a bit.
You get to see many different character perspectives in the book, which is something I like because it reads almost like watching a tv show.
There was enough action and drama in here that I did find the book difficult to out down in some instances. I ended up really enjoying it and may continue to read these! At least I know that I won't shy away from the genre anymore.
