No comments

Connor Martin, the Author of ” The Silver Fish” has written an exhilarating, intense, and powerful thriller. The Genres for this novel are: Suspense, Espionage Thriller, Political Thriller, TechnoThrillers, Mystery, Adventure, and Fiction. The title of this book “The Silver Fish” is the perfect name for this book. This paragraph describes the title, ” They will not hurt you. You are the silver fish. Too pretty for the shark to eat. He only wants to watch you swim. And while the shark is busy watching, distracted by your beauty, we will catch him in our nets.” P.220 (The Silver Fish)

The author has written a complex, complicated techno-thriller, and espionage book filled with adventure, betrayals, deadly secrets, lies, danger, and murder. There are twists and turns, surprises, and there is the feel of a cat and mouse game, or chess, where the winning is about life or death. The story takes place mostly in Ghana, and the author vividly describes, the scenery, the landscape, the plots, and the dramatic and dark characters. The female protagonist, Danielle “Dani” Moureau, is recovering from personal trauma, and is a journalist, who wants to write an important story about the corruption of the oil industry in Ghana. Dani realizes that sometimes “when you go looking for a story, when the real story appears, it is never the one you expected.” The same can be said about the characters, not everyone is who he/she says they are. Dani does meet several important characters, and realizes that there is seven million dollars missing, and that this new story involves several governments and agents. It is much bigger than the original story, enough to get her killed. There are double agents, and operatives obsessed on completing their assignment. The author takes us on an adventurous and thrilling journey to a shocking conclusion. I hope that the author does write another book in this series. I highly recommend this thought-provoking novel.
