Bomb
Cyclone by J.A. Adams features a stunningly imagined tale of
international intrigue that follows two elaborately developed characters as
they navigate dangerous waters in an unprecedented romance. Mykola has always
been intrigued by his father's tales of how a cyclone bomb destroyed his ship
that was carrying nuclear weapons and how one of the bombs got missing. Now,
working as an assistant professor at an Ohio university, this son of an immigrant
is still obsessed with the missing bomb and determined to find it. Meanwhile,
Oksana Kovalska's language skills attract the attention of a Russian agent who
offers her a scholarship with the promise of finding a position in the Russian diplomatic
corps. But she is disappointed to know that her new job involves gathering
intelligence. She eventually meets Mykola, by design. Tasked to extract
information about the bomb coordinates from him, Oksana’s mission becomes
complicated when she falls in love with him. Failure to complete her mission
will lead to serious consequences, including death, but can she betray the man
she is getting to love passionately every single day?
It is
interesting to notice how J.A. Adams melds history and romance in this
spellbinding tale, intelligently offering a vivid portrait of the conquest of
Crimea while exploring the political atmosphere underpinning the rise of the
current Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The author’s gift for
characterization shines through the narrative, and Adams succeeds in imagining
and creating characters with rich and solid backgrounds, deftly writing
motivation into them. The romance creates a twist that readers won’t see coming
and it is one of the most powerful plot points that creates the fertile ground
for a solidly written conflict. Bomb
Cyclone is a resonant tale that contemporary readers will definitely enjoy,
a story that deftly and intelligently portrays the Russian role in
international politics. This
fun, immersive tale hits the spot and the confident writing is a bonus that
delivers a delightful reading experience.
