5.0 out of 5 stars Can I give a sixth star?

Fair warning, this book floored me.

I have never heard of William Coleman but, if this book is any indication, he has a fantastic career ahead of him as a writer.

Basic premise: vigilante group that takes down criminals who escape justice is taken out en masse by an unknown entity, leaving behind Alex Dunn and Teresa Martin. FBI pursing Alex stumbles upon the plot, and an elaborate thriller ensues. So far, so normal. But what drives this story, what amazed me, is the author's seemingly effortless method of elevating a simple thriller into a nearly cinematic plot with flawed characters and an ending that rushes at you.

My usual observation about quality characters applies: great characters make for superior stories. But here too, the author does something I admire. He gives details piecemeal, there are no wasted pages of backstory which would pull the reader from the narrative.

The author's technique for increasing the tension is simple: staccato chapters, some only 3 pages long, with a steady alternating between Alex and the FBI. No chapters belabor and no words are wasted.

If you like Lee Child's style of character development (Alex is no Jack Reacher), and you enjoy Robert Ludlum's intrigue (he's not Jason Bourne either), this is a book for you. If you want a high-tension story with a plot that moves rapidly, this is a book for you. If William Coleman reads this review, I loved your book!

This story is cleverly written, with the title weaving to and fro throughout. The main characters are well-developed; however, a few times in various chapters, I had difficulty keeping names connected to mental images. I would recommend this book to any online reader looking for a murder mystery suspense thriller, that keeps your attention and offers a few twists and turns.

The last couple of books l picked up were losers. But the teaser for Payback intrigued me. The first few pages sucked me in for a ride. Good story line, captivating characters, and the conversations paced to hold my interest. You'll like it too.

This is a recommended book from Facebook. The blurb on it looked good. A team of assassins who are all killed but one. I have read a few backs based on assassins (Tom Wood's Victor series, e.g) and have enjoyed the genre. I liked the way the author used both the assassin's methodology playing against the FBI's approach. The action was very good and the story was well paced. I was impressed by how the ending played out. Well done!! A 4.7 out of 5 rating.

Pretty much knew who was behind it early in the novel but well worth reading it to the end. Good action and characters but for all their skills and experience, they were portrayed being pretty naive. A TV series kind of ending.
