Kindle White jade cargill This is exciting and a strong start to this series Wonderful range of locations adventures and dangerous obstacles to overcome Jan Alexander Other than bad memories of Afghanistan former Recon Marine Nicholas Carter thought he d left combat behind when he joined an elite counter terrorism unit called the Project After all Washington isn t much like Kabul But when a two thousand year old book about the First Chinese Emperor and the secret of immortality goes missing he s right back in the thick of it. White jade dragon book benefit is when a thriller not only excites but it educates White Jade is just such a thriller Alex Lukeman drawing on a facinating background has written a truly enjoyable thriller that also leaves the reader with much facinating information about various cultures both current and ancient This makes for a very rewarding reading experience. Book white death In creating the character of former Recon Marine Nicholas Carter Mr Lukeman has managed to introduce a complex and engaging new figure in the world of thrillers and one is delighted to know that White Jade is the first in a planned series Carter is a character who is very accessible to the reader one who is so finely drawn a personality that he virtually pops off the pages This is always the sign of a great writer and as this is Alex Lukeman s first book I feel comfortable in proclaiming that a major new talent in fiction has arrived The plot involves a Centuries old Chinese Book a dynamic and wiz at martial arts supporting character named Selena and Nicholas struggle to accept his past and embark on a complex adventure that will require all the skills he has learned as a warrior in Afganistan and they are plenty while dealing with the very human emotional toll his past battles have scarred him with The aim of those up against Carter and Selena is nothing less than the secret of immortalityand they are quite willing to kill for it The reader is transported from DC and California to the magical and hidden enclaves of Tibet and along with page turning thrills historical facts and details are so deftly interweaved as to created of an amazing experience as opposed to simply reading a novel White Jade is 1 in Mr Lukeman s PROJECT Series and 2 will have a very hard act to follow but given Mr Lukeman s exceptional writing skills there is little doubt that lovers of well written and intelligent thrillers have little to worry about A JAMES MASON COMMUNITY BOOK CLUB MUST READRICK FRIEDMANFOUNDERTHE JAMES MASON COMMUNITY BOOK CLUB Jan Alexander This was a blast Covert ops Chinese bad guys and loads of action and fun Very engaging characters with a great storyline Well worth the read Jan Alexander I loved it I do have to say it almost lost its 4 star rating because Chris was so stupid but she found some of her brain cells before the end so I forgave her It was not hard to guess most of what was really going on but somehow the book still managed to be a nailbiter The insta love was just as laughable as usual but it s much easier to overlook when you re caught up in the rest of the story Jan Alexander
