Daryl Murphy is a special FBI field agent who was saddled with the responsibility of investigating the underworld Lord, Rappafor. This investigation took him from New York City to Oregon, where his intel told him Rapafora was before he died. On his way to Portland, he met Phil Chadway during a shootout between him and the men of the underworld. At North Woods, the Forest Rangers found hikers' bodies in the forest. The nature of the death was so gory for a lion attack. They must investigate what is responsible for these attacks. Who is responsible for these attacks? What destiny awaits Daryl on his way to Portland in the North Woods? Wood Lord by Rob Inclan has the answers to these questions.

Rob Inclan's writing style is unique. Although the style posed confusion when I started reading, I later rolled with the beat and enjoyed every bit of it. The action starts right from the first page and lasts until the last chapter. I got sucked in right from the beginning of the book. The characters enjoyed a well-rounded development. Although I could not place why some characters were included at some point, all the pieces gathered together towards the end to form a whole picture. The book is well-formatted, with each chapter having a heading related to the chapter's content. The storyline is easy to follow and understand.

I like the character of Daryl Murphy. He is well-developed, and you can easily understand him with the way he talks. He is bold and full of self-confidence. Even though he talks most of the time sarcastically, I like that he is caring and humorous and cherishes friendship. This is exemplified in how he determined to always be there for Phil after their first encounter, and he left him. And as a result, Phil suffered at the hands of Dejavon.

The novel depicts a belief in fate and prophecy. I found a lot of similarities between some of the plots in this book and those in the Bible. Wood Lord is in no way religious, but it iterates the constant war between the light and the darkness. I liked the suspense the author weaves into the story; it made me stick to the book and wonder what would happen next. There are a lot of surprises too. Some characters I thought had left the plot were later discovered to be active. I thought Phil was dead, but I later discovered that the virus that infected him gave him the ability to self-heal. I also commend the descriptive power of the author. It brought to life all the action scenes, the environment, and the elements present there. It gave the scenes as much reality as possible. However, some might find the description overly sensitive and offensive. However, it is necessary to bring out the beauty of the story. I am expecting a screen adaptation of this novel.

There is nothing to dislike about this book. The story concludes adequately, the message is apt, and it is enjoyable and captivating. Above all, the book is professionally edited. I found just one error. Therefore, I will rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.

I recommend the books to lovers of sci-fi novels and adults who enjoy good action books. I wouldn’t recommend it for readers below 16 years of age because of the high level of profanity the book contains.
