Flash

Tim Tigner never ceases to amaze me. The plot lines to his stories are totally mind-blowing. There is a level of intellect and artistry that raises him above your average thriller writer. To paraphrase a line from this book: "Tim IS the sharpest knife in the drawer."In FLASH, Emmy and Troy just woke up on Grand Cayman Island sharing a parked car with a dead policeman and they are covered in blood. They each know their own names, but not each other. And their last memory is where they were seven years ago (Troy was a combat surgeon in Afghanistan, Emmy a grifter in L.A.). Obviously, they can't go to the police in their condition. They have to figure out what happened to them and how to get out of their current situation. As they try to keep one step ahead of the cops, they realize they are being followed by an unknown person who is not there to help.They start putting together pieces of the puzzle and uncover a charismatic attorney with an audacious method of helping clients out of legal jams. In an attempt to stop him, they become pawns in his most despicable scheme yet. To say any more would be adding spoilers. Just get this book now and plan to read it in one sitting.I have read four other books by Tim Tigner and can honestly say each one is a winner. He combines fiendishly inventive plots with strong characters and always a touch of romance. I have never read another author like him. His world is one a reader will enjoy getting lost in.

What would you do if you lost your memory, total amnesia, a diabolical gap of years, and you realize slowly it will never come back. FLASH keeps the suspense going with just that premise. Two principle characters, male and female, gradually figure out they are part of a despicable plot to use a strange chemical to earn huge amounts of money by erasing the memory of targets specified by ruthless clients of a seemingly wealthy lawyer. At the same time they know instinctively that they are the good guys with responsibility to somehow end the plot. Tim Tigner is superb at making the plot wind around keeping the reader guessing till the very end. A great read and very hard to put down before finishing.

I liked the reviews but noticed there weren't a lot written by females and I'm not normally a big spy or what sounds a little like vicious action...but this was sooo good! It really grabbed and entertained me-to the point that I'm still thinking about the character even after I've finished the book. In fact, although I feel like I have to write this so others get the chance to read it, I really want to start the next book by him I that I just bought. Quick and short-this story is the kind that takes you away and totally entertains. I highly recommend you get this book. It's really enthralling! :)HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! :)

Implausible plot. Cardboard characters. Supposedly set in Grand Cayman, but the geography in the book doesn't match that of the actual island. There's a hair-breadth escape in every chapter, by unbelievable means sure to elicit groans and eye-rolling. Better stick with Jack Reacher or Bob Lee Swagger if you want real action/thriller writing.Given the fact that this is a self-published book (no price, publisher, bar code, etc. to be found anywhere), one might expect a somewhat lesser level of writing style - but this book appears not to have been edited. Typos abound. In one sequence, our principals enter a convenience store with $500 worth of stolen travelers checques, and make a deal with the proprietor to sell them for 50 cents on the dollar. On the next page, they leave the store with $2500. I gave up on this one after 90 pages.

A unique opening draws us into a tale, that is not to hard to believe given some of the catastrophes that pharmaceutical companies have created in the past. An amoral lawyer and a soldier seeking to free his family from hardship in his home country have a very successful relationship fixing the legal woes of the guilty but rich.Troy and Emerald have to deal with waking up with a dead police officer in his patrol car, being framed for his death andthat of another cop. They have to find out who they are, why they are in this situation and try to stop the perpetrators, who have decided that for a swan song they will attempt the biggest assault on the democratic checks and balances ever. Great development of the main characters, you get to learn a little more about them every time they appear. Hopefully this duo will reappear in the future

Wow!! What a surprise!! This story was incredibly exciting. I can’t imagine awaking covered in blood, with a dead body next to you, and without the last seven years of your memory. Also, you find a very beautiful woman with a very nervous trigger finger on a very lethal gun pointed at you. And.... this is the mild part of the book. It goes up from here. I recommend this book to all readers who love a great story with really bad guys with really bad intentions and really good guys with no real chance of survival. Jason Bourne step aside. Troy and Emmy have arrived.

Sometimes, when I'm after a quick read, I'll flip through some of the automatic Kindle suggestions, then browse through the 1 and 2 star reviews, checking out what people didn't like. Then I start wondering if it could really be as bad as readers are suggesting. The collection of low reviews for FLASH intimated that I had found a "winner".This thing reads like adolescent fiction, with inconsistency after inconsistency, none of which get in the way of the heroes dodging every bullet, breezing through every cunning plan their enemies throw at them, and having endless cash and resources to help in their own survival. Early on, despite having their memories wiped, they are completely familiar with the roads on the far side of an island that neither of them has ever set foot on. And so it goes.If you want something totally disposable for an international flight, or long train trip, you could do worse than FLASH... though not much worse.
