Time of Attack: A Jericho Quinn Novel (Jericho Quinn Thriller Book 4)

I'm addicted to this high-adrenaline series... Jericho Quinn is like a modern James Bond, with the addition of a beloved daughter and a group of faithful friends. This adventure takes Quinn to Japan. Can't wait for the next book!

Taking off shortly when the previous book ended, this one doesn't waste any time setting the stage. From a shooting at Jericho, while at a friend's wedding, this book leads Jerichonto Japan, in hunt of the shooter... non-stop action and lots of intrigue, this is well worth.the read.

Another solid Jericho Quinn story. I'm a fan of this series so I have no plans on stopping even though the quality has declined since the brilliant debut novel. There's some great story in this one. It's set largely in the US and Japan, and reveals the back story of one of the most interesting characters in the series - Emoki Miyagi. She's always been a mystery, so it's great to finally see the events that led to her working with Quinn and company.Unfortunately there are some issues here, some minor, some major. Personally I'm about done with the constant motorcycle scenes. The author is clearly an enthusiast, because in every novel you can guarantee there will be at least two major scenes involving a motorcycle race, chase, shootout, etc. This inevitably leads to descriptions of the bike specs, speeds, and all manner of detail. I'll never be a bike guy, so it's all mindless filler to me. Some people will love it, but I wish we could go just one book with no bikes.The huge issue here is that for the second book in a row, there's no ending. No doubt some of you reading this will be saying "well what do you expect? it's a series!". All well and good, but even a series entry can still bring some closure, especially after almost 450 pages. There's two main plots here, Quinn's search for a sniper that attacked his family, and a terrorist plot to launch a plague on the US and give the bad guys powerful positions in the government. Neither one of these is resolved - minor spoilers ahead - at the end of the book, the sniper is still running free and the villains have gained a footing in the White House. It's frustrating to not have any closure to anything this book presented. It feels like it's the first half of a larger novel that the author decided to split in half.A very entertaining read, but until the author starts actually putting an ending in to his books, I'm never going to rate them above three stars. I'm starting book 5 with some trepidation now. Here's hoping for an ending

Enjoyed reading this sequel with some familiar characters and new villians. The lead up to the next in the series was creative and leaves plenty of loose ends to tie up.

I’ll have to stop writing Marc Cameron/Jericho Quinn reviews. I’m running out of superlatives. I openly admit that I am an action thriller reader but I have not become addicted to a series as much since I started on Outlander which is an equally gripping saga of a very different style. However each is by an author who captures the reader and drags them into an unlikely world.These sort of novels give an older reader like myself the hope and confidence that detailed descriptive and emotive writing can still exist in a book market filled with the trash of tv script-writer wannabes.I loved this Quinn novel and it’s imaginative trail into an international scenario with Covid overtones and conspiracy angles abounding. Our hero still seems a little too much Bruce Willis at times, but we armchair action men do like to believe that some of us mere mortals CAN be blooded but invincible. I’ll be reading more, just to make sure!

Awesome book. A lot of action and suspense. Jericho Quinn is a bad ass. Can't wait to read the next book.

Kept me on the edge of my seat. The story is fast moving and hard to put down. Will definitely read more of this saga

I have been waiting for the release of this latest novel for some time. This seemed to me to have the smoothest flow of his books. When I am unable to do anything but read a new book almost non-stop, I realize it has held me in its grip. This is the case with 'TIME OF ATTACK'. My first thought was, 'when is the next one due.' Cameron did an exceptional job of weaving a number of connected storylines throughout the novel. They came together nicely at the end. He did leave us in anticipation with a number of unanswered questionsWhile his main characters are of course amazing people, he manages to make them believable with their inherent personal and physical flaws. Quinn is still struggling with his feelings for his ex -wife, will do anything for his daughter, yet still maintains an honest relationship with his new love interest. Quinn is portrayed as exceptionally fit and skilled, but also human and can be hurt, injured, defeated for the moment. He is not superman!While attractions between his characters are believable and revealing, Cameron leaves enough to the imagination. He does not succumb to the 'smut factor' in his works. Descriptions and actions are all in good taste.Other novelists of this genre go a bit overboard with the 'good old boy network' of their characters..which I often find unbelievable . Quinn has his long time contacts, uses them, but they do not worship one another's abilities and functions. He even dislikes some of them!!The technical aspects of the novels are make clear and complete, but do not go into excruciating detail which often becomes distracting. The medical details of the 'plague' like illness were sufficient, not drawn out and told us all we needed to know.As intended, I await eagerly the next novel. As I asked his confidant recently...'Can he do one a week..?With the untimely passing of Tom Clancy, dare I mention that Cameron could be his successor?

Slow to start but accelerates all the way to the end. Quinn and his cohorts are a believable and colourful bunch.

Very good

Love reading about Jericho Quinn. He's the man

Again the author brings his characters to life and delivers another great storyline with lots of twists and turns that captivates the imagination and creates a storyline although fictional that could be in the world today. This storyline mirrors in some way what is happening today with the Corona virus, and unfortunately the possibilities for the spread of such a potent weapon in the hands of people who are engaged in acts of terrorism.

I have read all the Jericho Quinn books in order with 'Day Zero' to go and in all I have thoroughly enjoyed them and Marc Cameron is firmly on my "too buy" list. However, this one is the biggest disappointment to date. I found it too 'bitty' jumping around from here to there with a little too much author licence. Again an author has a hero that takes far too much punishment not to need a break, much like Mark Greaney's hero, and as such it moves the story into a gung-ho, boy's own type read. The earlier books had a slower pace and characters developed and appeared on cue whereas the 'surprise' arrival of Quinn's buddies at the end was a little bit too much to take in. Liked this one but the others are better and I am hopeful the Day Zero will revert to type.
