Tony Kent – Power Play

Wow! What a ride this book is! ‘Power Play’ by Tony Kent is the 3rd book in the series, but is easy enough to read as a standalone. It’s a political thriller packed with action, intrigue and even a hint of romance!

Set in the USA and the UK, a jumbo jet with over 500 passengers, and a possible U.S presidential candidate, explodes over the Atlantic with no survivors. Terrorism is a clear cut reason according to the majority, although Michael Devlin a criminal barrister will soon find out different. I have not read any of Tony’s books previously so this was my first introduction to Devlin and Joe Dempsey, ex military and now working for The International Security Bureau, which is the special intelligence division of the UN Security Council, is tasked with investigating the possibility that the plane crash was a targeted attack to take down the presidential candidate.

It’s action packed and I read the book in no time. The story kept me on a hook, constantly wanting to know more. The search for the truth was intense and gritty! The characters are well developed and I loved learning about them to the point of needing to read the first two, if only to get to know more about Dempsey and Devlin! A legal, political and crime thriller all rolled into one.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC and to Anne Cater of Random Things for allowing me to join in this blog tour, I loved the book!
