Revenge edition by Bill Ward Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
Brit Tom Ashdown is an ordinary man, living a somewhat ordinary life. Eking out a barely sustainable living at his small betting shop in Brighton, his modest home mortgaged to the hilt, a virtual stranglehold on his bank account. He is nobody’s hero. Truth be told, in forty-two years of living, Tom never even considered the notion. Until . . .Yep, heroes come in all shapes and sizes, ages and economic standards - or the lack thereof. He could have stayed hidden when, heading home one night from a surprisingly pleasant dinner with his younger brother, he witnessed a kidnapping in progress. Hell, if it wasn’t Colin’s turn to buy dinner this time, Tom never would have been in the vicinity of Harrods. He certainly didn’t Christmas shop at the posh department store.
But there they were in an alley behind the high-end store: two assailants, two citizens already dead, and another without a prayer of escaping her dastardly fate. How could any man with a thimbleful of integrity simply cower behind a car and watch?
Before he could say “Stay hidden, you fool!” Tom was charging across the alley like bloody Superman, getting battered to a pulp, his nose broken . . . saving the day. Winning the admiration and gratitude of sultry American actress, Melanie Adams.
Hypnotic green eyes, perfect skin, dark brown hair cascading about her shoulders. Beautiful, and genuine.
Hmmm. So far, so good. Right?
Wrong.
Would it have made one bit of difference in his actions, if Tom had known Melanie’s would be-kidnappers were members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army? That saving her would put him, not only in the sights of a ruthless IRA assassin, but those of a sister bent on revenge after her brother (the lone surviving assailant) is taken into custody?
Bodies and baddies abound in Bill Ward’s REVENGE (Amazon Digital Services Inc, ASIN: B00F0SLWEA, 214 pp). Ward entices readers on a trolley ride of action, murder and attempted murder, bombings, traitors, a chase through London’s Victoria Station tube, and a gauntlet of surprising twists and turns. As if those crowded pages aren’t enough to keep readers glued, the author weaves unlikely romance into the mix. Tom Ashdown and Hollywood’s glamour girl? Will they -- or won’t they? No spoilers here. Readers will have to treat themselves to this suspenseful thriller to find out.

Revenge edition by Bill Ward Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
When Tom Ashmore, owner of a struggling betting shop in Brighton, happens across a kidnapping in process in London and reacts by taking a hand, he finds he has saved Melanie Adams, a famous American actress. From this ill-conceived assault by a pair of rogue “soldiers,” Tom is drawn into a cascade of deadly repercussions involving an IRA chief, an MI5 agent, a ruthless hit man, a vengeful sister, and a government mole.
The story is well plotted, the characters believable once you get them sorted out, and the writing concise. The dialogue is natural and the action plausible, so that the story moves rapidly. The burgeoning love affair between Tom and Melanie develops in tandem with the developing suspense.
I was able to immerse myself in the story. I felt I was living the adventure, and when I surfaced after the satisfying climax and denoument I felt refreshed. Altogether, Revenge is a fun read from an urbane writer who obviously has been around the block at least twice. Two thumbs up
In "Encryption" Bill Ward introduced us to the high tech world of super-secret spy agencies and algorithms that would stop them from reading our emails.
"Revenge" is a far different kind of story.
"Encryption" was about cold rooms, brainy nerds playing with computer programs, deep math and super-spies; "Revenge" is about the cold, hard pavement where cops chase terrorists relying not on computers but on hard evidence and their own gut instincts.
The story revolves around an ordinary guy who stumbles upon an attempted kidnapping one cold evening in London. He jumps in to try to stop it but cannot save two of the three people being attacked. He's no karate fighter and he's not even in particularly good shape but he manages to incapacitate one of the kidnappers, more by luck than skill The second one gets the upper hand on him, however, but before things go really pear-shaped he is rescued from a severe beating and maybe death by the surviving kidnap victim - a beautiful American movie star who knows her way around a firearm.
Things get really interesting from that point on. The IRA and its offshoots might be involved in the kidnap attempt; there's a mole high up in MI5; one of the cops really wants to find the mole who years before got one of his friends killed; the sister of one of the kidnappers is enraged that he's facing life in prison and wants to strike back; and, just to keep the pace exciting, the would-be rescuer might also be a suspect.
Ward also leads the reader on a merry chase through the London Underground system as cops, the ordinary guy turned rescuer and the movie star chase a killer. If you've ever ridden the Tube you're going to love the details in that tautly written chase. If you've never been on a London subway you're going to like Ward's description of the action anyway.
I'm not going to spoil the plot for you by saying anything more about it. I will say that the characters are intriguing and I really like the fact that they aren't super heroes who can fight all day, make love all night and then get up in the morning and run a marathon. These are - save for the movie star - pretty ordinary folks caught up in an extraordinary situation and that makes this book all the more fun to read.
