Product Review
If you like international thrillers about terrorism, you may consider getting a copy of Readetts novel, Roadworks.
The setting: Brussels, Belgium
The year: 2022
What if all transportation in the city rail, road, underground abruptly comes to a standstill? What if a bomb is placed in each hotel where a head of state is staying, as well as in buildings nearby? What if a terrorist group demands the greatest humanitarian aid package the world has ever seen?
This is the scenario in Roadworks. Thus comes the protagonist, Hugh Ryan, a Transport Authority controller who has recently lost his wife and who tries to come up with a plan to outwit the African terrorist leader. The web of intrigue is pushed deeper by a man named Wellens, a crime lord who originally was helping the Africans but whose devious plans have taken another cunning path.
Why is vital information leaking out of the Transport Authority? Who are the spies? As tension and chaos escalate and time runs out, Hugh must unravel the mystery in order to bring order to the city and save innocent lives.
Roadworks is tightly packed and moves at a quick pace, with the author relying mostly on clear-cut dialogue and short action narrative to propel the feeling of suspense. The scenario is realistic and Readett does a fairly good job in describing what Brussels would be like in the future. The novel is plot driven rather than character driven with the main story taking place in less than 24 hours, adding to the tension as the reader cant help but wonder whats going to happen next.
All in all, this is a well-written, entertaining novel that most readers of the genre will enjoy.
