The Second Son is an explosive rollercoaster thrill ride filled to the brim with haymakers and gut-punches. Simon Gervais and Ryan Steck team up to deliver an action-packed, conspiracy-laden thriller that keeps you on edge throughout and leaves you reeling with an unbelievable ending.
Chase Burke is living a good and quiet life as a sommelier at a Michelin starred restaurant, trying to leave his checkered past behind him. But that seems impossible after the death of his brother in a covert op, followed by the attempted kidnapping and murder of a US Congresswoman from his restaurant. With the cops looking hard at his involvement in the potential abduction, Chase realizes his only option is to find out who’s pulling the strings in order to clear his name. And while he can rely on his elite skillset from his military days to help him go on the offensive, he is wholly unprepared for the revelations he will uncover that rock his world.
This book is all gas, no brakes. The Second Son is non-stop action and suspense that creates a sense of urgency to find out what will happen next. It doesn’t allow you to catch your breath for even one moment, and you’ll find your blood boiling and blood pressure rising on multiple occasions. It also contains a fair bit of emotion through the exploration of family dynamics and the consequences of choices previously made. All of which makes for a phenomenally crafted, brilliantly executed and well-rounded thriller. One that absolutely needs to be inserted into everyone’s TBR pile come November.
