Jack's back! And this time he must face a terrifying supernatural threat from Europe's recent past. Someone has been mad enough to revive the most terrifying evil of the last 60 years. And only one man is bad enough to stop them. Eagle Rising takes Jack to the rotten heart of big business and the dark secrets of a neo-nazi magical sect intent on giving the world back to a terror from the darkest days of the 1940s. Jack must infiltrate the closed corridors of big business and reach the core of a conspiracy amongst some of the most high-pwered city executives in the country. A cabal of business men with occult interests and an insane hunger for the return of an old and dark order. Described as a mix of Dennis Wheatley and Ian Fleming Devereux lives up to the billing with his new novel.
I actually really enjoyed this story of an occult spy in England. A man whose best friends are ghosts in a graveyard and who has put a lot of people in various graveyards.
He's not a nice man, Jack, he can't be. This time he's tasked to get himself into a neo-nazi group and find out what they're up to, when he does find out he has to work out how to stay alive and how to deal with the miscreants in such a way as to make it not happen again.
There are some quite brutal scenes in this, but also some moments where I laughed out loud. It's something like if James Bond and Dexter met the Occult and Magic and had a bastard love-child.
