The Kazak Contract
by PAUL PURNELL 4 stars A fast-moving action story. Apart from the rather abrupt ending which is seeing up a second book in the series, the book flows well. James Ballantyne travels to Kazakhstan on a minor diplomatic assignment. A simple task, but he falls for the glamorous aide Ocksana Petrova, sent to guide him through the process. Fate leads him to the rescue of a US special agent who is the target of assassination by the Kazak authorities. Getting out of Kazakhstan alive will draw upon all of James’s military skills, and a lot of luck. With ambush and deception along the way, will he make it to the border and safety? How can he protect his lover? This journey through a wild country stretches every nerve The main characters are well developed, although the love relationship is a little flimsy, which ties the plot together. Set in Kazakhstan, which makes a different setting for which allows for a bit more mystery in the story - exotic, unknown locations. Overall, a good read.
