Book Review

Vietnam Vet Kyle Stone starts fresh in the 1980s with a thriving business and a family that depends on him. But what begins with a celebratory roar turns into a decade of greed and corruption that tests Kyle’s tenacity, wits, and, ultimately, his ability to survive. After a close friend betrays him, Kyle is forced to work for a violent crime family. The Family makes him carry out various tasks that endanger his life and lead him into wild and unwieldy paths. He leaves his wife, relocates, and becomes entangled in new relationships. His new life is, at times, harrowing and dangerous, yet it offers opportunities for him to learn valuable lessons. As he reflects on his past experiences as a soldier and, further back, to his father’s suicide when he was young, Kyle faces down his traumas and emerges as a new man filled with hope and love. Kyle’s transformation is dependent on his willingness to face the past and embrace the true power of love, and this comes through clearly in a high octane plot and through hard-driving exploits at every turn of the page. This fast-paced thriller is full of financial intrigue, criminal endeavors, and unscrupulous ploys. Kyle is thrust into unexpected circumstances that test his morals and resolve, but the flashbacks to his past help convey a fuller picture of him as a man seeking betterment with every experience he endures. Powers captures the exhilaration and excitement of the 1980s while refining a message about love in the midst of empty ambition and reckless living.
