Jack and Pamela
Crittendon have hit the breaking point. After months out of work as a reporter,
Jack is playing Mr. Mom and working part-time at Festival Arena with his
survivalist friend Brian Shakespeare. Meanwhile, Pamela has gone back to work
full-time while eight months pregnant. Having her recently widowed mother on
hand isn't making matters any easier.
With financial pressures boiling, Jack reports for duty at a rally for controversial presidential candidate Martin Sterling where he expects a mindless night on the job. But when Homeland Security picks up intel about a potential terrorist threat, Jack and Shakespeare are thrust into a life-or-death battle to save their own lives--and the lives of thousands of innocent people
Who
doesn’t love a triple treat? 3 scoops of
ice cream or 3 different types of seafood or pasta on your plate. Yes, the world is a much better place when
you get to enjoy them in threes. And not
you get that in the reading world as well.
The third book in the Crittendon files by Creston Mapes is out just a
few short months after the second book was released. This will make for some terrific Summertime
reading if you haven’t read any books in this series. Yes, I will admit it openly and proudly that
I just finished both of these books this past weekend. The second book, “Poison Town”, has been in
my To Be Read pile since it came out, but I always had something else to pick
up to read instead. When I got my copy
of “Sky Zone”, I knew that I had a great weekend of reading planned, I just had
to find the right weekend. This weekend
was it, and I wasn’t the least bit disappointed
Jack
Crittendon is back in the third installment of the Crittendon Files. We pick up the story that Jack has now been
laid off as the newspaper he worked for has succumbed to the economy and shut
their doors. With work scarce to come
by, this puts the full-time work back onto his wife, Pam. Pam, now 8 months pregnant, is also maneuvering
around her recently widowed mother and making sure that she is taken care
of. Jack, in order to get some kind of
work, signs up for a rally of presidential candidate Martin Sterling featuring
a well-known Christian musician. His
hopes of spending a quiet night at the rally ends when terrorists take over the
arena. Can Jack and his friend Brian
team up to stop the terrorists before its too late? How does Pam figure into this mess? Haven’t I seen that Christian musician
before? Take off your earphones and run
to your nearest bookstore and go BUY THIS ENTIRE SERIES!!!
Do
you ever finish a book and just wonder how the author does it? How does an author put together not one book,
but three books that contain such great writing and intrigue, that you can
never get enough? In this last book from
Creston Mapes in the Crittendon Files, Creston gives us a novel that is current
in its theme and relevant to society today.
Is
this a "guy's book"? This is
another great “guy’s books” by Creston that should be in every guy’s pile of
books to read. With terrorists,
adventures, and continuous intrigue this is one book that you will be glad you
picked up.
