Title: Storm Front
Author: Richard Castle(ghost writers)
Review: I love the series Castle and so I have read
the books as they have come out. Not
paying attention I thought this was another until I started reading and then realized
that it was a Derrick Storm…Castles character in his book series from the TV
series. I wasn't sure I would read it,
but decided why not I wasn't feeling well and planning on reading most of the
day anyway. It was not bad…lots of humor and
lots of James Bond feel about the characters and the adventures they got
themselves into.
I liked the story even with Derrick being a bit over the top and larger
than life. The love life and adventures
he lives are big and flashy. The bad
guys are bad and the good guys are not so good after all. I think this is a fair series that will keep
me turning the pages, of course I enjoy James Bond and his movies and books so
this is very similar in feel.

Synopsis: There's a storm front coming!
Four years after he was presumed dead, Derrick Storm--the man who made
Richard Castle a perennial bestseller--is back in this rip-roaring, full-length
thriller.
From Tokyo, to London, to Johannesburg, high-level bankers are being
gruesomely tortured and murdered. The killer, caught in a fleeting glimpse on a
surveillance camera, has been described as a psychopath with an eye patch. And
that means Gregor Volkov, Derrick Storm's old nemesis, has returned. Desperate
to figure out who Volkov is working for and why, the CIA calls on the one man
who can match Volkov's strength and cunning--Derrick Storm.
With the help of a beautiful and mysterious foreign agent--with whom
Storm is becoming romantically and professionally entangled--he discovers that
Volkov's treachery has embroiled a wealthy hedge-fund manager and a U.S.
senator. In a heated race against time, Storm chases Volkov's shadow from
Paris, to the lair of a computer genius in Iowa, to the streets of Manhattan,
then through a bullet-riddled car chase on the New Jersey Turnpike. In the
process, Storm uncovers a plot that could destroy the global
economy--unleashing untold chaos--which only he can stop.
