![]() One could easily see this being adapted into a screenplay. There was just enough to let you know that Westworth has done his research but not so much that it disrupted the flow of the narrative. Westworth didn’t cram every paragraph with soldierly lingo like some writers in this genre do. I know nothing about military operations, but the details certainly felt authentic. Once I started reading, the pages turned quickly and willingly. The dialogue is snappy, the characters are sharply developed, and the plot moves effortlessly forward. However, I do like good writing, and First Contract has plenty of that. I don’t particularly care for war stories, espionage, or even mystery. Review by Ian Sutherland, author of Invasion of Privacy oOo First off, I have to say that this is not my genre of choice. ![]() Looking forward to the full-length novels. ![]() The author makes no apologies for Stoner’s pragmatic attitude towards the elimination of his targets, and the result is an solid well thought through action thriller, intelligently handled. ![]() It’s intelligently written, with excellent characterisation, sharp wit and punchy back-n-forth dialogue. First Contract is a standalone short story that introduces JJ Stoner, the anti-hero of a series of novels yet to come. ![]()
