Review of The Fugitive (The Border Series Book 5)
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Fugitive (The Border Series Book 5)" by David Griffith.]
The book The Fugitive (The Border Series Book 5) by David Griffith is a fictional book. The main character of the story is Lonnie Bowers, he was working on an intelligence agency as a hitman fighting Mexican cartels back in his youth. After his retirement, he just wished to live a peaceful life around his family as a rancher in the remote countryside. His family lived trying to forget his past when it overtook him again. An assassin was searching to take his soul, his name was Carlos Quintero, he tries to murder Lonnie, but he survives. Also, his brother Gus died mysteriously. Now he is facing a dilemma of how to get his life back to normal to make his wife and his kids safe he now needs to find the one who hired him and make him never search for him again. To find out the answers to these questions he will have to go to Mexico.
The book is really intense, it has a lot of action scenes that are very well written I think. You can almost see the guns and hear the bullets whistling around your ears. Although the book does a good job in terms of describing the action scenes, they are not very graphic in terms of the violence, so there should be no problem reading it if you are sensitive to these moments.
Although the book is a little confusing in the beginning because of the flashback, the style with which the author writes and describes the characters, the scenes, and everything else in the book pretty much is fairly easy to comprehend, even though it has some complicated vocabulary. I think Lonnie is portrayed like an immortal in this book, you can find an example of it in the scene when the assassin tries to murder him, it’s almost surreal how he escapes his death and almost unbelievable, and I noticed this superheroic pattern all along with the book too.
I liked the book for its vivid descriptions, very exciting storyline, and breathtaking scenes. I also enjoyed it because of the descriptions of how does the cartel world works, it does give you some insides into it, I liked that, it’s always good when you can take some knowledge with you after finishing the book.
The only thing I didn’t like was a little cardboardness of the events that were going on with the characters, the events that are a little surreal. But I think you can notice this superheroic pattern everywhere in the books of this genre.
The book contains a few grammar errors, but they are minor so they don’t cause too much trouble to read. I rate the book 4 out of 4 stars.
