Review of The Attunist
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Attunist" by Gary B. Haley.]
How do you like the sound of a mysterious vigilante taking down criminal organizations one-handedly? In The Attunist, the main character is so secretive that you don’t even find out his name.
Yes, you heard that correctly – readers do not know the real name of the main character. If that sounds too confusing, I assure you that it feels appropriate while reading the book. According to author Gary B. Haley, the secrecy is necessary to protect the true identity of the main character. Amazingly, the lack of a name and the vague locational details add to the intriguing nature of the book.
In The Attunist, Gary B. Haley is continuing the off-the-record story of a vigilante who has the power to affect the central nervous system of people around him. We’ll call him Tony – the alias that the main character bestows upon himself. The book opens with Tony in exile. He is living day-to-day off the coast of Mexico. In a way, Tony has a superpower, but I think he’d rather call it an extraordinary ability. Much to his dismay, he quickly becomes involved with eliminating local drug cartels. He simply can’t stand by while villains manufacture and distribute drugs that ruin the lives of innocent people. Eventually, he contemplates how he can connect with his lover and regain his freedom. The book jumps perspectives multiple times and has a surprise villain who appears in short, abrupt chapters. You’ll need to dive in yourself to get more details than that, and to find out how the story ends!
The way the Gary writes is down to earth and goes down like a smooth whisky – with a kick! Since he cannot provide exact details, the locational descriptions are vague, but include small details like the irritating mosquitos during Tony’s exile, the appearance of a cocaine field, or the details for how to create an untraceable burner phone.
I strongly recommend this book for readers with a government or military background – or perhaps a conspiracy theorist interested in government secrets. The intricate ways that Gary keeps the main character off the grid seem realistic and plausible. If I needed to apply some of these tactics, I certainly lack the technological expertise, but Gary makes it seem possible.
I rate the The Attunist 5 out of 5 stars because it is intriguing without being confusing. I feel inspired to begin at the start of the series all over again. With this being the 3rd book of the series, I have no negative comments about the way it was written or how it ended.
