Editoral Review
Black Dawn by Cristin Harber is an exciting and action-packed novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Harber is known for her military romantic suspense novels and Black Dawn is no exception.
It was first published on July 14, 2015. The story takes place in present-day Afghanistan, where a group of highly-skilled soldiers who’ve been separated from their unit must fight for their survival amidst dangerous enemy territory.
The main protagonist of the story is Parker Black, an ex-Special Forces soldier and now a private contractor, whose team is tasked with rescuing a journalist from the clutches of the Taliban. The mission takes a turn for the worse when they realize that the journalist is not who she claims to be, and they’re left fighting for their own lives while trying to uncover the truth.
Harber’s writing is engaging, and she knows how to create tension and suspense, drawing readers into the action. She does an excellent job of describing the Afghan landscape and the dangers that lurk within its borders.
The pacing is relentless, as the characters love from one crisis to the next, trying to stay alive and complete their mission. The characters in Black Dawn are well-developed, each with their own distinct personalities and backstories.
Parker Black is a complex character, battling PTSD and trying to come to terms with his past. The cast of supporting characters is equally well-drawn, each bringing their own expertise and perspective to the mission.
One of the strengths of Black Dawn is its contemporary relevance, tackling issues such as PTSD, the brutality of war, and the murky world of private military contractors. Harber explores these issues with sensitivity and nuance, never resorting to simplistic or cliched portrayals.
The only weakness of the book is that the plot can be a bit convoluted at times, with a lot of twists and turns that can be hard to keep track of. While this may be off-putting to some readers, others will enjoy the rollercoaster ride of a narrative.
Overall, Black Dawn is a gripping and well-written novel that will appeal to fans of military thrillers and political suspense. It’s a fast-paced and engaging read that will keep readers hooked until the very end.
Rating: 4/5
