Les Haswell's novel Malik's Revenge is a thrilling tale of a retired special operative, Alan Brodie, who gets caught in the middle of a drug cartel's operation while trying to purchase a bar/restaurant. The story is a page-turner with a lot of action, suspense, and unexpected twists that keep the reader engaged throughout the book.

The author has done a fantastic job of creating characters that are both relatable and intriguing. Alan Brodie, the protagonist, is a man who has seen it all in his past life as a special operative. He is retired and looking for a new challenge, which he finds in the form of buying a bar/restaurant. However, his plans are derailed when he discovers that the bar is being used by a drug cartel as a distribution point. Brodie is a character who is brave, smart, and resourceful, and the reader can't help but root for him.

The other main character, Malik, is a police officer who teams up with Brodie to bring down the drug cartel. She is smart, strong-willed, and beautiful, and there is a hint of a possible romantic relationship between her and Brodie. The chemistry between the two characters is palpable, and the author has done an excellent job of building their relationship in a way that feels natural and organic.

The plot of the book is well-crafted, with a lot of suspenseful moments and unexpected twists. The author keeps the reader engaged throughout the book by introducing new elements to the story and keeping the pace fast and exciting. The action scenes are well-written and thrilling, and the reader can feel the tension and danger on every page.

The author's incorporation of Brodie's combat and defense talents is one of the book's strengths. The reader is shown how to effectively disarm and defend themselves against armed attackers. The author has done substantial research on the subject, and his writing style reflects this. However, this should never be employed in a real-life circumstance. The only drawback to this book was that it had numerous errors and needed to be professionally edited. This resulted in a one-star reduction, resulting in a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.

In conclusion, Malik's Revenge is a thrilling and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of action and suspense novels. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the plot is exciting and unpredictable. The author has done an excellent job of keeping the reader engaged throughout the book, and the ending is satisfying and leaves room for a possible sequel. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an exciting and well-written thriller.
