Amazon Roulette, the second
book in the Marina Alexander Adventures series, by C. M. Gleason, having not
read the first in the series this stands well on its own. Ms. Gleason brings us
story with a bit of romance, a great mystery, science, politics, and
adventure. I have to admit it’s not my
normal cup of tea but this one kept me reading and wondering what thrilling
ride would come up next. Her characters
are strong and well defined and the story flows nicely.
Marina Alexander is strong,
direct, and has her faults but owns them.
This installment looks into her relationships, with colleagues, family
and friends. It seems that the other
characters continue to develop and we get to know them better by the end of the
novel. You have to read to see what happens
next with all of them – there are a few surprises thrown in.
The roulette game is
horrifying at times, as is the Skalas.
The Skalas are kind of the bad guys but the feel they are doing what
think what they are doing is for the good, but is it?
It is obvious that the Ms.
Gleason, did her research while writing this novel. I fact checked a few things dealing with the
history and science. She is spot
on! Well done.
If you are looking for a great adventure, with some romance thrown in the Amazon Roulette is a keeper. I look forward to seeing more in the Marina series.
