ABOUT THE SERIES

Kyle McBride is a television producer.

People in the television business wanting to get a project going "sought out Kyle McBride, dubbed a 'suit' in the business. He didn't produce the shows; he raised the money that made them possible. He found partners for producers in countless countries, placed programs on networks around the world, and in general made things go. He enjoyed a good reputation, and many felt that having him involved in the marketing of their project was gold."

That might be an enjoyable vocation and for McBride it was definitely a successful one as he did not lack for creature comforts. As for a reason for entry in this compendium, though, it is lacking. Except for the fact that McBride had spent a reasonable amount of time before his latest career working in the Intelligence gathering business.

McBride was for several years in American military intelligence. That was some time back, likely a decade or two back, but he had made a good number of friends during that period and some of them still worked either in that field or related ones giving McBride a nice assortment of people to call for assistance.

Exactly what McBride did is not mentioned except for interesting tidbits like he "was involved in the military version of CIA work" and that he had worked "in an elite military intelligence unit in Europe". The same inquisitiveness that had made him successful in that profession still resides with him as a TV producer such that when things start happening around him that do not add up, he cannot leave it - he has to stick his nose into it.

McBride is divorced with a grown, albeit still fairly young, daughter named Caroline.

MY COMMENTS

I admit that the first book in this two-book series is mainly a suspense thriller but it squeaks into the spy-fi genre enough to qualify, in my opinion, for membership in this compendium. And the second book definitely qualifies. So here it is.

I liked the character of Kyle McBride. I liked the adventures he has quite a bit. There is a whole lot of action and excitement in them. They would each make a terrific movie. Considering the line of work that McBride is in, maybe he should talk to someone.
