Review #55: Extraordinary Retribution by Erec Stebbins




My rating: 4 of 5 stars


“Since governments take the right of death over their people, it is not astonishing if the people should sometimes take the right of death over governments."- said by the most famous French writer of all times, Guy de Maupassant. Erec Stebbins is one such writer who proved retribution is not only meant for vengeance, but for justice, the justice for the unspeakable torture a human has faced in his lifetime, especially when the government makes it look like that it's one of their mission to protect their land. Sometimes government commit grave mistakes unknowingly, leaving away too many loose ends and with their act of protecting their own land, they never know how many people they hurt in this process. And for the person who takes retribution on any government, it takes decades for him to prepare his body and mind in order to prove justice for their activities. Extraordinary Retribution by Erec Stebbins is one such tale of retribution on CIA for justice.



Synopsis:
A wraith takes on the lives of some under-cover agents of CIA and the brother, who is a priest, of one such under-cover agent and one former CIA agent takes it all they can to find out who this killer is and what's his motive behind his killing spree. But the path this priest and the CIA agent takes is very dark, without realization, they uncover a very dark and dirty secret of the CIA and of some prominent figures of the United States. Soon they find themselves in the clutches of the architects of the secret mission of the CIA, but as they say under their breath “Lord forgive us for the sins we have done!” And miraculously, they save themselves every time, they fall into their trap. Firstly, they break into the headquarters of CIA, next they becomes the most wanted criminal in the whole country, next they try to find support among their loved ones, but unfortunately, they were brainwashed by the powerful men, then their mission becomes more stronger and many-a-times, they were almost murdered by those architects, but in the end, justice is paid to the lives of the innocent people that the government has killed and the wraith fades into the darkness, from where no one can find him or arrest him or torture him anymore.

I can say how extraordinarily thrilling book it is! Judging by this strong plot, I must admit that the author is a natural when it comes to writing political thrillers. It has got a very cinematic plot. Any political action movie lover will fall in love with this book. It has got everything, power-packed actions, shocking twists-and-turns, adrenaline-rushing chases, especially there is a chase that will totally leave you speechless, and also a slight romantic undercurrent between this priest and the CIA agent and last but not the least, a lot of blood! In fact the characterization by the author is also very strong and powerful. Each and every character has uniqueness about them, and that's what makes the plot more interesting. From the very start, the book will grip you and keep you on your edges till the very end. If only there was bit more romance included between the priest and the CIA agent, it would have been more perfect. In a nutshell, this book highly intriguing pot-boiling political-thriller which will blow your mind till the very end.
P.S. I loved how the author mentioned cigarettes as a cancer-stick!!!

Verdict: A must read for all those political thriller lovers!

  1. Thanks very much for the review, Aditi. The quote you begin it with is very fitting, and embodies a central element in the story threads. As subjective a canvas as art can be, it is nonetheless very meaningful to me when readers connect to my writings in a manner that reflects my own feelings and motivations in creating them.
