Chasing Shadows by Eric J. Gates is the explosive second book in The Shadows Series. We’re with the CACS kidnap recovery team as they’re pitted against impossible odds in a deadly new mission. Having vowed never to work with British Intelligence again, the team is reluctantly pulled back into the world of espionage by a desperate plea from MI6. With no weapons, no intel, and no backup, they face a life-or-death task to save a man who will die within a week if they fail. As the true nature of the mission is revealed, it becomes clear they are up against overwhelming forces, possibly even aligning with their worst enemies. Inspired by true events, this high-octane thriller delivers nonstop tension.
Author Eric J. Gates knows how to build suspense, offering readers a tightly plotted and adrenaline-charged thriller that raises the stakes from the very first page and manages to keep that tension going from cover to cover. Gates delivers cinematic action with lots of cutaway moments to the emotional impact of the stunts and twists, creating a gripping and satisfying sequel where we feel every moment right alongside the characters. The development around the team is brilliant, with a host of different personalities and mindsets that work together as they make morally complex decisions. At times, the situation looks pretty gritty and grim. Gates excels at building suspense while staying grounded in plausible, real-world intrigue, but some great blockbuster moments leap off the pages for a real wow-factor of surprise and impact. Overall, I would highly recommend Chasing Shadows to fans of the existing series and the series, in general, to action fans looking for a brilliant new thriller writer.
