Book Review: "The Chimera Vector" by Nathan M. Farrugia


The Fifth Column: the world's most powerful and secretive organization. They run our militaries. They run our governments. They run our terrorist cells.

Recruited as a child, Sophia is a deniable operative for the Fifth Column. Like all operatives, Sophia's DNA has been altered to augment her senses and her mind is splintered into programmed subsets.

On a routine mission in Iran something goes catastrophically wrong. Bugs are beginning to appear in Sophia's programming and the mission spins out of control.

High-speed chases, gun fights, helicopter battles, super soldiers and enhanced abilities are all in the mix in this edge-of-your-seat action-packed techno-thriller.
Perfect for fans of Matthew Reilly, THE CHIMERA VECTOR melds sci-fi with sizzling espionage action. - from Amazon.com

I received a free copy of this ebook from the author. 

Not a bad thriller/action story! I would say it is very similar to Matthew Reilly's Scarecrow series, and maybe even close to Boyd Morrison's Tyler Locke series. The action moves along at a fast pace, and even though our main characters seem to always have the luck of things on their side, it still kept my interest to read to the end. Lots of room to expand more on background history of the The Fifth Column and its' agents (good or bad). I see that there are two other novels int his series, so I am sure I will be checking out the next one soon!
