The Dao (The SIGMA
Chronicles) by J.W. Bell is a beguiling thriller with resonant themes, an
entry into a series that will appeal to readers who enjoy stories brimming with
conspiracy and featuring strong political themes. The characters are rock-solid
and the conflict moves quickly from the personal to an international level. Kim
Jong-un of Korea is will to defy the accord banning the use of nuclear weapons,
and as much as he wants to fire his missile, it seems to be tampered with. His
top scientist dies, leaving a cryptic message that insinuates his son might
have the key to what Kim Jong-un wants. Then, no one knows of a son. General
Mac and his team must locate the son but when they meet the scientist’s family,
there is no son. Stan is an enigmatic intelligence officer who, together with
Commander Carbonella, enters North Korea. There is more awaiting them than
anyone can imagine.
This is a novel with a robust plot and the author explores
the characters elaborately. Readers will be intrigued meeting Stan, the man who
is plagued by mysterious voices that speak in his head. His condition, which
makes him hear voices from people in his past, establishes the psychological underpinning
for the story. The Korean dictator is another captivating character —driven by
an insatiable thirst to launch his nuclear weapon. Even in a very fragile and
critical moment in his life, he makes a decision that creates uncertainty and
fear. This fast-moving tale is filled with action and emotionally intense
moments. The Dao (The SIGMA Chronicles)
is a deft and balanced tale that features excellent writing and an
unpredictable plot. J.W. Bell creates a setting that is strangely family, a
political atmosphere that is so close to home and commentaries that translate
contemporary political environment with intelligence. I turned the pages
nonstop!
