Book Review - Cleansweep Counterstrike by Chuck Waldron + Giveaway

After helping to stop the Operation Cleansweep, Matt Tremain is faced with dangerous obstacles. Charles Claussen is still out for revenge against Matt and his friends. However, Claussen had borrowed money from a dangerous group of people called The Brotherhood of Eagles, who want answers and their money back. Will Matt be able to survive Claussen's revenge plan?

This novel is the second book in the series. I found it to be an enjoyable read but, found the first book to be more engaging and thrilling. It felt like some parts were a bit unrealistic. Overall, a good second novel with a gateway to a sequel.

Book Review - The Cleansweep Conspiracy: A Matt Tremain Technothriller by Chuck Waldron + Giveaway




Matt Tremain was an ordinary investigative blogger until he discovers a dark secret that threatens his beloved city, Toronto. He discovers that billionaire, Charles Claussen, who has government ties, wants to remove the city of "undesirables". Matt must decide whether he is prepared to deal with Charles's wraith when his plot is revealed. He must rely on a local TV reporter and a police detective for help in keeping him alive. Will Matt be able to stop Charles?

The novel had an interesting premise but, not necessarily a new idea. I thought it was an enjoyable read about how technology can be used for both good and evil. I found the novel to be relevant in today's political atmosphere. However, I thought the story fell flat, especially, since there was no indicating of time being changed along with one-dimensional characters.  The novel had the backbone of something great but, sadly, it didn't deliver for me.
