Black Friday

Author: Robert Muchamore

The third and final book in the latest trilogy of the Cherub series sees recruit, Ryan, battling to prevent the biggest terrorist attack America has known.  The perpetrators are the Islamic Department of Justice who are planning a major attack on the busiest shopping day of the year to guarantee maximum impact and devastation.With its bases in commerce and terrorism, the novel has a chillingly familiar and modern feel.  As is consistent with the thriller genre, mass and media concerns are employed as shorthand in order to capture zeitgeists whilst not shackling the supersonic pacing. In line with other titles in the series, characters’ development tends towards the advanced. Story arcs involving the dissolution of the Aramov clan, sub-plots about dissident gang members and former recruits and counter-plots involving dirty tricks combine in a captivating yet complex and wide reaching narrative.   Taut, tense and with stakes so high they sometimes feel hard to look over, this is a cacophonic climax to the latest trilogy.
