Sometimes great things are definitely worth the wait.
Twenty years after Kyle Mills introduced us to Salam al-Fayed – better known as Fade – in the first book of the series, Fade, this bestselling author thrusts readers into a world teetering on the brink in the sequel, Fade In. Once a deadly operative, Fade is left a shadow of his former self after a catastrophic mission. Declared clinically dead twice and now battling severe physical impairment, he's offered a lifeline by a shadowy organization: cutting-edge medical care and a new identity, but at a steep price.
The novel quickly escalates as Fade is drawn into a high-stakes conflict, facing a COVID-like threat that emerges from China with potentially catastrophic global implications. Mills excels at crafting a narrative that feels both timely and terrifyingly plausible, exploring themes of global power dynamics, the limitations of traditional governments, and the rise of powerful, non-state actors. Fade's internal struggle adds a layer of depth, inviting readers to ponder the true cost of security and control in our world.
Fade In delivers on the pulse-pounding action and intricate plotting that Kyle Mills is known for, solidifying his reputation as a master of the genre. The book balances intense sequences of combat and intrigue with thought-provoking moral dilemmas, making it a compelling read for fans of political thrillers who also enjoy the rush of well written action sequences. With its complex protagonist that you will love to cheer for and a plot that reflects contemporary geopolitical anxieties, Fade In lays the groundwork for what I hope will be a continuation of a fantastic series.
