Reviewed by Zahid Sheikh for Readers' Favorite

Charles Stewart's gripping thriller Sky Thunder transports readers to the high-stakes realm of espionage, military strategy, and self-sacrifice. The narrative follows a seasoned CIA agent and former Special Forces member, Colt Hawkins, who leads Task Force 24 on a risky mission to stop global threats. The story is set against global backdrops ranging from Morocco to Iraq, and it is a heart-pounding blend of covert operations, combat scenarios, and personal moments of reflection. Hawkins and his team deal with moral quandaries, political entanglements, and betrayal as they navigate a world where trust is ephemeral and every decision has life-or-death consequences. The plot is full of unexpected twists and vividly detailed action sequences, keeping readers interested while delving into themes of loyalty, resiliency, and the human cost of duty.

Charles Stewart's writing is a masterful blend of deep research and captivating storytelling. The author manages the plot very well, maintaining a steady flow of action without overwhelming the reader. The events are vividly described, immersing the reader in the chaos and drama of war. All the characters are very different in their own right, and Colt Hawkins is a complex, well-known character whose strengths and weaknesses are evident. This story stands out from others in the genre because the author blends historical reality with emotional depth. Themes of friendship, dedication, and the cost of war are treated with emotional depth and authenticity. I highly recommend Sky Thunder to readers who enjoy thrilling military and human-driven stories with a unique blend of history.
