review 1: Synopsis: (from the authors website) War on terror veteran, Eric Caine is found wondering the streets of Miami with no memory of the car accident that left him there. Alone and suffering from PTSD, Eric is on a one way road to self destruction. Then a chance meeting at a bar begins a series of events that helps Eric start anew. When a new job relocates him to Venezuela-the land of his childhood-things, however, take an ominous turn as a catastrophic event threatens the stability of the country. Now Eric must escape an elite team of CIA assassins as he tries to uncover an international conspiracy in which nothing is what it seems.Let me just say that the above synopsis is a very tame version of what really happens in this fast paced, hair raising story of intrigue. I could ... morenot put the book, or Kindle actually, down...Wow, what an exciting read! For those of you out there that are addicted to the black ops kind of thing, this one will definitely appeal. Unfortunately, it is hard to review this one without saying too much that will give away and ruin the plot twists...and there are plenty of them! So let me just say that Sleepers Run is a well written novel full of intrigue, adventure, and action...There's even a little bit of romance thrown in for good measure...My recommendation? Pick this one up! You won't be sorry! 5 hearts for this one
review 2: Henry Mosquera does a GREAT job at really making you feel like you are on the motorcyle with Eric as he is being chased trying to escape his assailants. This is something you can only get from watching a movie and as an added bonus, you also get the thoughts and feelings of the person being pursued which is not something you get from a movie. Henry uses this same method in describing the fighting scenes where Eric uses JuiJitsu to fight off and outsmart his assailants. Having a husband who is active in this sport, I was familiar with the moves and was able to visualize the moves with clarity. My only drawback was the "political" aspect of the book. We differ in our beliefs in that aspect. Other than that, I really liked how we were able to get inside the head of a Veteren returning from battle. I had no idea how difficult it is for them to return to civilization and return to normal life. Greatly written. less

A little predictable and very cliche. Overall good book though.
