The other day, I had the pleasure of actually reading a novella from start to finish, which is no mean feat as I seem to be incapable of just reading something without ripping it to shreds and see what made it tick. Written by JackSilkstone, the novella is the origin story to his first full length novel Primal Unleashed. The novella is a prequel to a series, and is set in Abu Dhabi, where there are two CIA operatives have been given a mission to track down an unknown terrorist group. Forced to question the morality of their government, they take matters into their own hands.
It is well written, concise and allowed me to visualize in my mind the action.

Heck, the entire novella was better then the latest stuff by Tom Clancy that has been written by another person whom I've never heard of, which was nice and disappointing at the same time. I mean, think about it, Clancy practically brought military techno-thrillers to the forefront and gave us some pretty awesome stuff. Now though, I feel as if he sold out on his fans and had become nothing more but a registered trademark. Fortunately, Jack Silkstone has stepped up to the plate and is offering us not only a bloody good read but also an insight into what's going on in the war against terrorism.
Best part, he has own youtube channel.
For more information about him, and how to get his books, check out his equally awesome website and very informative blog.
How about you guys, have you encountered a story or author that just makes you squeal with childlike delight?
