Excerpt
“After
what just happened to Williams? Are you crazy! You’re just going to
run all the way over there through all that bullet fire? You’re
completely insane!”
Harris
tried to calm her down and look at things rationally. “Look around
you Sarah. Your colleagues are pinned down and outgunned. God knows
how many are dead and will die if reinforcements don’t show up
soon. They are going to make a break for it, and when they do this
gunfight becomes even less contained and even more people will die. I
know you’re scared and I am too. I need to end this, and I need
your help to do it Sarah.”
She
nodded and took a deep breath. Color came back into her face. She
checked the clip before popping up to open fire. “Go!” she
yelled. Harris didn’t even peek to see if it was safe, he didn’t
want to telegraph himself. He made a break for it, bullets flying all
around him. He tripped on the curb, fell on the sidewalk, and moved
for cover behind a newspaper rack. He could hear a few rounds pinging
off of it. “Shit!” He covered his head. “Almost there.” The
alley was only a few feet away. Harris gathered his thoughts and his
breath for a moment before making a dive and rolling into the alley.
Following his actions, there were the terrifying sounds of more
rounds bouncing off of the sidewalk all around him.
AUTHOR
INFORMATION:
Alex
Rodgers is the author of the Corrupt Skies series. He is a military
veteran and civil servant who got tired of reading about CIA and FBI
Agents and thought Air Marshals would be cool.
Corrupt Skies: Episode I is his first foray into book writing, which started out as a short story. He is now happily writing the fourth novel in the series.
When he's not writing you can find him shamelessly plugging his books by reading the chapters out loud to a captive audience on the DC metro (not really). He enjoys paintballing and spending time with his wife and children at their home in Northern Virginia.

My review;
This was a thrill from the very first page. I was immediately interested in the story and what was going to happen to the characters. The storyline was wonderful and I enjoyed it very much. I am glad that I was able to read this story. I will be reading more from this author. I was given this book for the purpose of a review by Goddess Fish Promotions and all opinions are my own.
I like that it has action and humor , great combo
ReplyDeleteA helpful review.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review and the comments, I'm glad you all enjoyed the book! I really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteSo the hero is an Air Marshall. That's an occupation I don't think I've ever seen in a novel....but then I don't read a lot of contemps. I'm stuck more in the historical romances. That said, you are a new-to-me author so I will enjoy following your tour to learn more about you and your book. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteI like the cover of the book and of course the giveaway
ReplyDeleteEveryone always does the same CIA operative/FBI Agent/world-weary police officer thing, so I wanted to change things up a bit. There isn't a lot out there with air marshals, so there were a lot of fresh stories that could told. Plus, I like the whole "undercover" thing they do as a daily job. It ended up being a ton of fun to write.
ReplyDeleteI've never really thought about air marshals. I'm intrigued!
ReplyDeleteThanks for introducing me to Alex Rodgers.
