Title: You Think This is a Game?
Author: Bernard Maestas
Genre: Young Adult Thriller
Wisecracking smartasses Ted and Alex are
an elite army of two, fighting for fortune under the banner of their
private military corporation Reagan Kirwan International. MIT-trained
computer hacker and engineer Ted is the brains. Freerunning ex-French
Foreign Legion commando is the brawn. With their unique combination of
skills, they are in high demand on the blurry and ever-changing modern
battlefields.
When oil is struck in a Somalian
province, two titans of the energy industry collide head-on over the
lucrative rights. The result is a war which rages both in the boardrooms
and on the already bloody sands.
Hired for the simple task of tipping the
scales, Ted and Alex’s mission takes a dangerous and deadly turn. They
learn they are not the only trump cards in play and, this time, they may
be on the wrong side. Facing the most dangerous of adversaries,
constant perils, and treacherous corporate politics, they must stand
together if they want to survive – and, more importantly, collect their
paychecks.
Because war is a two-player co-op and all they have is each other.
Review: Ted and Alex are two wisecracking smartasses, Ted being the brain behind their operation, and Alex providing the force and military skills. This time there's a war going on between two industy giants who both want to get their hands on oil. It's a thrilling, suspenseful book, and once I started reading, I couldn't stop. Amazing how well the author manages to pull this off. The plot is complicated, not in the way you'd break your head over it but in the way that it's unpredictable.
