This
may be the very first time that I have read an action-packed novel. I
used to have biases about these kinds of stories because for one,
they're too macho for me and if you notice, I always prefer chick lits,
fantasy adventure and the self-help kinds. I guess the closest that I
have come to reading this type of book was when I used to read all of
Sidney Sheldon's novels back in High School (I've read them all...he's one of my most favorites then and now...may he rest in peace) and Dan Brown's Angel and Demons, Da Vinci Code, Deception Point and Digital Fortress (which I have read several years ago and have yet found the time to review here).
Even these novels are not purely action material. There's always a huge
chunk of adult scenes, philosophy, and love angle to it. Mercenary
Intent is my first EVER purely ation-packed novel but with a heart. I
was excited when I first found out about it but I also had my little
doubts when the author himself, Dennis Hambright, sent me a signed copy. Nevertheless, I gave it a try.
