Red Star Falling by Steve BerryMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Thanks to Netgalley and Grand Central for the pre-release copy of Red Star Falling. Below is my honest review.
I'm a long-time fan of Steve Berry and his Cotton Malone series, and I was super pumped when I found out that side character Luke Daniels was going to get his own spinoff trilogy, co-written with Grant Blackwood.
This one takes Luke into the heart of Russia, working with a turned asset to rescue an old friend. As Luke and this asset get deeper into the plot, their path begins to steamroll towards a Russian political battle that has the potential for massive, global fallout.
I really like Luke as a main character. I think he's got that something that it takes to lead a series, and I actually really hope we get more than three of these co-written books. For a second book in a trilogy, this one was still top notch. Usually book two in a trilogy can have some serious "filler" vibes, but Berry and Blackwood didn't slow down on the gas for this one, and it kept the same punch.
Looking forward to the third, and hoping that's not all we get of Luke - at the very least, fold him back into the main series, please!!!
