Review
'Adrenaline has everything - relentless action, mind-bending intrigue, and twists and turns you won't see coming. It's exhilarating, and confirms Jeff Abbott as one of the best thriller writers of our time' -- Harlan Coben
'Adrenaline lives up to its name. Pure thriller in pace, but Abbott manages to keep the book's heart in the right place. The characters aren't cardboard action figures, but people under incredible stresses and strains. I read it in a big gulp' --Charlaine Harris
`A book to make sitting on a summer beach feel like a high-octane chase through dark alleyways... there are circles within spirals and wheels within wheels in this complex world of treachery, people-smuggling and terrorism' --The Times
'A high- energy thriller with plenty of twists and turns to keep the heart pounding. Adrenaline delivers exactly what the title suggests'
--Irish Independent

Sam Capra is living the life of his dreams. A young American in London, he has a perfect flat, a perfect job with the CIA and a perfect wife, Lucy ? who is seven months pregnant with their first child. But one sunny day, it all goes up in flames. Sam receives a call from Lucy while he's at work. She tells him to leave the building immediately, which he does ? just before it explodes, killing those inside. Lucy vanishes, and Sam wakes up in a prison cell. Why did Lucy call him? Was she a loving spouse or an enemy operative? Is Sam's unborn child safe? Adrenaline coursing through his veins, Sam enters a frantic race to save his life and discover the truth about those he thought he knew so well...

Format:Paperback
in fact it's more than just a great thriller, it's a well-written spy novel. It's fast-paced, funny, intelligent and even quite moving (when hero Sam Capra is sad at what has happened to him, he waits for the "comfort of the crook of my elbow"). As mentioned by previous reviewer this is not the end of Sam Capra (there is clearly more for him to do at the end of "Adrenaline"), can't wait!

This is one of the most gripping books i've read in a long time. The constant action and suspense that is built throughout the plot will keep you wanting to read more. It would make a great film and I hope there are many more Sam Capra books to come.

Format:Paperback
This has both the good things and the flaws in the author's writing. A replay of elements of previous plots and a pace that goes so quickly that you almost miss the holes in the story.
But it's not 'bad', it is a 'read and forget' thriller, ideal for holidays and journeys and certainly not too taxing.
CIA operative escapes a bombing and finds himself under scrutiny and his pregnant wife the main suspect in the bombing. Our hero goes rogue (with the help of a mysterious organisation) to track down his wife and prove her innocence. A flaw returns from previous books as he turns from a CIA operative (with undercover experience) into a Jason Bourne type who can outsmart and outfight everyone. As our rogue operative gets closer to the truth, he finds there may be very few he can trust....
Like I said, this is an 'okay' thriller, it won't tax you but it should entertain you enough for a couple of hours. Billed as "Sam Capra 1", we may see more of this character, and I won't be sorry if we do.
