Blackout (John Milton), written by Mark Dawson

Welcome to the adrenaline-fueled world of Blackout, where our not-so-average hero, John Milton, is basically a human Swiss Army knife. Seriously, if you have a problem, this guy probably has a solution-even if it involves extreme violence. Buckle up, because this ride is not for the faint-hearted.

The book kicks off with Milton, a former assassin with a conscience (shocking, I know), who's just trying to live his life-like an ex-con who's trying not to get dragged back into the crazy life. But surprise, surprise! The universe has other plans, and he quickly finds himself tangled up in a web of deceit and mayhem. Who needs peace and quiet when you can have assassination attempts and sinister plots?

Our man Milton is on a mission, but not just any mission-it's one that requires him to save a bunch of people who are practically screaming for a hero. Not to mention, he's got the entire underworld on his tail. Seriously, it's like everyone's got a vendetta against him. Spoiler alert: it's not just about self-preservation; he's caught up in something bigger. You thought you left your crazy ex behind? Imagine trying to escape a life of crime instead.

As Milton navigates through this chaos like a seasoned pro, we meet a colorful cast of characters. There's the femme fatale who can throw you off your game faster than you can say "no thanks," and of course, the villain who's so over-the-top he might as well wear a monocle and twirl his moustache. You know the type.

The plot thickens as we dive deeper into the intrigue of the criminal underbelly, revealing layers of betrayal and unexpected alliances. Just when you think Milton has it all figured out, bam! A plot twist that'll make you question everything you thought you knew. That's right, folks! Don't get too cozy; things are about to get bumpy.

With each chapter, Dawson serves up action sequences that would make even the best Hollywood screenwriters sit up and take notes. Gunfights, chases, and a few nail-biting moments will leave you on the edge of your seat-just don't forget to breathe, okay?

By the time you reach the end of Blackout, you'll be left wondering if there's more to Milton than meets the eye. Is he just another killer trying to redeem himself, or is he destined to be pulled back into darkness, like a moth to a flame? Spoilers aside, let's just say the journey doesn't end here.

So, if you're in the mood for a bullet-riddled adventure with a side of sarcasm and a protagonist who's as charming as he is dangerous, grab a copy of Blackout. You won't regret it-unless, of course, you do. But at least you'll have plenty of action to keep you entertained along the way!
