Science Fiction/Mystery
The Breach is Science Fiction Mystery set not in the future but in a
slightly different present.
Something happened thirty years ago that opened a door. Here is how Goodreads tells it:
In the Alaskan wilds, former cop Travis Chase stumbles upon
the wreckage of a 747 filled with dead bodies, including the nation's First
Lady. Soon Chase is dragged into a battle for the future that revolves around
an amazing artifact. Original.
There are two really great characters in The Breach. They are also two characters that are
so different that they should have never met but the way the story is written
it just makes sense that they meet and work together. I liked both.
Travis Chase should not have been a good hero. He was a crooked cop who killed someone and not in the line of duty. He spent most of his 20’s and all of
his 30’s in prison for the crime. In the context of the story is turns out to be perfect for the action in the story.
Paige Campbell works for Tangent, a secret project that
guards items that could destroy the world. She is smart, driven, and focused. People with Travis’s background do not belong in her world.
The plot in The Breach is very complicated and very fast
paced. It sounds simple when the
book starts but simple just keeps getting more complicated as the book
continues. This was a “can’t stop
reading book”. The twist at the end was the
biggest complication of all.
The Breach is the first book in the Travis Chase series. The next one is Ghost Country. Both were on the new books shelf at
the library but since I had never hear of the series I just checked out the first
one. I hope the second one is
still on the shelf but if not I will put a hold on it. I want to know what happens next.
Harper published The Breach by Patrick Lee in 2010.
Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted by Gilion at Rose City Reader. Anyone can participate; just share the opening sentence of your current read, making sure that you include include the title and author so others know what you're reading.
My Book Beginning to day is from Ghost Country by Patrick Lee. Ghost Country is the second book in a Science Fiction series that started with The Breach. As soon as I finished The Breach I put in a request for Ghost Country. I just started it and so far so good.
