    This Book is the Reason I got a Kindle
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 3, 2011*

The book introduces Cavanaugh, the main protagonist, and his wife Jamie. A retired protector, Cavanaugh's mundane life is interrupted by--for lack of a better way to put it--his past life. The chaos that ensues turns the story into hyperdrive. Interesting to this section is the back and forth of the PoV. Not from the persons with Cavanaugh but the ones trying to take him out. This is the reader's first insight to the antagonist Carl. It takes a good span of the book for him to be drawn out and his relationship to Cavanaugh to be revealed. Of course the premise of the story gives it away somewhat.While the multiple PoVs are a way to give a broader scope in the story, it becomes a little overindulged in places. For example, we see the depths the main antagonist--Carl--will go through to reach his ultimate goal by the callous way he kills. However, we are shown through casual vanilla characters, in vivid detail as an airplane explodes in midair. The passage before, and Carl's previous actions, gives the reader enough insight into what happened to his victim.Great cinematic detail, but a bit cumbersome to read. It leaves little to the imagination, giving too tight a control to the writers creation.Even with that little quirk, we get the exceptional research and outstanding writing expected from Mr. Morrell. The characters, as a whole, are well-developed. They leap from the digital page and compel compassion--on both sides. On one hand, you witness the destruction of something Cavanaugh has just inherited--Global Protection Services. He goes from someone who reluctantly takes on something bequeathed to him to a man fighting to keep it afloat. The human element explodes as one by one other protectors fall. We see a transition from Cavanaugh, through the writing, analyzing everything. The people he comes across are described in painstaking detail. It falls in line with his former work. You can't protect someone if you're not aware of your environment. We come to understand his revelation to his childhood friend, Carl's, behavior. No matter how depraved someone seems, hindsight compels us to analyze what we could have done to prevent that person from straying.The cat and mouse games are extraordinary. The way Carl is painted stroke by stroke gives the reader the insight into the warped sense of wanting acceptance. He is a person who craves attention by going to the extreme. The compelling part is, though he's the proverbial bad guy in the book, you can't help but feel the slightest twitch of remorse for his situation. Does he get what karma's dealing out in the end? Absolutely, but it doesn't deter from the sickening human factor he exhibits.A word of caution to those stuck in the past: If you're looking at the cover art of the book, calculating the knife factor and adding the cat versus mouse ratio to equal the next installment of Rambo, back away from your eReader. David Morrell does not subscribe to the cookie cutter thriller.

    Another compelling thriller by the master of the genre
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 2, 2010*

David Morrell has been one of my favorite writers over the years, because he has written numerous thrillers that are consistently well-researched, gripping, and interesting.  With the release of "Naked Edge" as a Kindle exclusive, Mr. Morrell has accomplished a few things: he has embraced the e-book technology, he has brought back a familiar character from a previous novel for a new adventure, and he has proved yet again that he remains at the top of his game as a writer."Naked Edge" features the return of Cavanaugh - the protagonist of "The Protector" - though a reader new to Mr. Morrell's work would not really need to know what happened in "The Protector" to jump right into this novel.  As the story opens, we find Cavanaugh retired and living in a remote part of Wyoming with his wife.  Mr. Morrell doesn't waste any time letting the reader get settled in for a bucolic, relaxing tale.  Instead, the reader is rocketed into a breakneck pace, as Cavanaugh and his wife are brought back into the Global Protective Services fold, ambushed by an unknown party, and are trying to stay alive long enough to figure out who their pursuers are - all while other protective agents are being killed all around the country.  We come to learn that Cavanaugh's adversary is an old childhood friend, Delta Force colleague, and disgraced protective agent.  This former friend means to seek vengance on Cavanaugh for reasons unknown to both he and the reader, as Mr. Morrell skillfully avoids telegraphing that and what is to come, which heightens the suspense and keeps the reader guessing as much as the protagonist.At the same time, we learn that Cavanaugh's adversary is proficient in making and using knives.  This is where another of Mr. Morrell's talents comes out; that is, by "teaching" the reader something - whether it be spycraft, weaponry, aviation, or another trade - through the plot.  He does so without paralyzingly, agonizingly detailed descriptions that other authors tend to run into; the reader learns while still racing along at top speed.  Mr. Morrell is noted for researching the subject - or an aspect - of his novels before writing them, and so he conveys that he did his homework yet again on knives for "Naked Edge"."Naked Edge" really does not let up on you until the very last page, and so the reader is left quite entertained and, in a way that is almost a sort of "adrenalin rush" for readers, leaves you wanting more.  Again, Mr. Morrell is a rare breed; he writes a story that is not too short, but not too lengthy, and is paced well.  Many of his contemporaries could also learn from his writing style.  I thoroughly enjoyed "Naked Edge", and recommend it both to fans of Mr. Morrell's other works and those just in the mood for an action-packed thriller.
