Book Notices | Adrenaline by Jeff Abbott

Jeff Abbott, Adrenaline

Amazon   Adrenaline is the first book in Jeff Abbott's series of Sam Capra novels. Sam is a CIA agent stationed in London when the book begins, happily married to a fellow agent and with a baby on the way. But his world explodes into chaos one morning with scarcely a moment's notice, and he spends the rest of the book's some 500 pages chasing bad guys by way of trying to put his life back together. Adrenaline is the sort of novel I like, all spies and, well, adrenaline against a cool European backdrop, but about two thirds of the way into this one I pretty much wanted it to be finished. It just felt over-long, and I'd lost interest in the plot. Given the reading slump I've been in for a while, however, the fault may lie in me rather than the book. I wouldn't be averse to reading the second book in Abbott's series at some point (The Last Minute), just not yet.
