Ice Cold Kill: A Daria Gibron Thriller

Belhadj and Daria were an extremely dynamic duo. They really played well off each other.

Asher, was also an intriguing character. His role as villain was complex; his emotions regarding Daria, real. The plot definitely made me think, while holding onto that crucial entertainment factor. Considering the author left some avenues open, I'm assuming there I got quite a kick out of this one.

Considering the author left some avenues open, I'm assuming there will be at least one sequel to this. I really hope there is. Aug 03, Sheila rated it really liked it. However, she occasionally takes on freelance jobs. When she receives a request to meet an old friend in New York she arrives at the airport but a page overhead warns her of a trap.

Someone has set her up and now even the FBI believe she has gone rogue. I loved her ingenuity and ability to get out of tight jams. I found the book action packed and hard to put down. I love a resourceful intelligent heroine. Now I will have to look for earlier books written with this main character.

Feb 27, Sharon rated it it was ok Shelves: There is an intriguing character premise buried in the "24"-by-number suspense plot. Haynes skims over anything resembling deep characterization and crams as many actions scenes as pages will allow. A question did arise for me, however-- when an action film puts its heroine in a skimpy wardrobe a thong and bra doing ludicrous stunts, I assume it's for the visual spectacle-- but Mr.

Haynes does this in his novel as well. He is anticating a movie adaptation which, judging There is an intriguing character premise buried in the "24"-by-number suspense plot. He is anticating a movie adaptation which, judging from the quality of this book isn't going to come? Aug 03, LS rated it really liked it. A convenient way to catch up with current weapons technology.

Although the characterization was thought provoking, I thought the author relied on Matrix style costume iconography a bit too much. The book consists of four or five "battle" scenes fleshed out with some transitions and background material. It is rather simple and moves quickly with minimal depth. I did not find any life changing epiphanies in it. Apr 28, Lou rated it really liked it. I did like this book. It was fast-paced and well written. Daria Gibron ends up being the main character here and she plays her role to the hilt.

After being such a help to the crash teams in Haynes's previous books, she takes center stage in a book that alternates flashback to her childhood with her current mission. Using all her wiles and charms. Sep 13, Ruth rated it really liked it Shelves: She's fighting the good fight though the plan is unknown and the enemy is constantly changing. Well written, fast paced story with a bit of humor. Feb 17, Betsy Hover rated it it was amazing. I was delighted to receive this book from Goodreads Giveaway! This book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat, with the many twists and turns throught-out the book.

I had a hard time put this book down. I would highly recommend this book, it was a fanastic read. Jan 05, Ruthann rated it really liked it. Action packed, suspenseful adventure with interesting characters. As with most spy and black-ops adventures, reality must be suspended a bit. At least these characters get hungry and tired. Dayna Haynes is a local Portland, OR author who has worked for years as a journalist and has really honed his writing skills. Feb 19, Rena rated it really liked it. This was so fun to read.

I'm glad Daria's back and she now is a real main character. This book is not about a plane crash unlike the first two. We see some of Daria's background get insight into the events in her childhood that contributed to her choices as an adult. As always, there is plenty of action! I've started the next book already.

Jan 26, Roxann rated it liked it. Took a bit to get into this book, then was good for the next pages or so. Finishing it took some time. Don't know if it was the length or that I wasn't as invested in the main character or not. We read this in my book club and others really enjoyed the book and said that it gave depth to the previous books.

Apr 21, Pamela rated it really liked it. An exciting political thriller! A twisted,complex plot with well developed characters and a heart pounding, roller-coaster, climatic scene - couldn't ask for more! It was satisfyingly suspenseful - I couldn't put it down! This is the third in the series, and I intend to read the first two! This author is new to me, but he is on my watch list now! Keep up the good work.

I bought it and it shipped really quickly. Currently deployed and ran out of e-books. Read the summary on one, picked up both. Finished both in two days. That is because you are wise and good, and a decent human being. And anybody who disagrees with you hates our freedoms. The fire starts at the engine, 1 mile from the fuselage wreckage.

The hunters dig a fire break and the firefighters are called. Comeon give us a reason that the fire burned uncontrolled for all those days, then withstands a waterbombbardment then burns thru a town. A bit much methinks. He asked me to describe it for him and I said it was like Michael Crichton meets 24, lol.

I wanted to thank you for a couple of things.

Ice Cold Kill

First for being an author! Secondly, I think your character, Daria Gibron, is awesome. I have a daughter named Daria and found this character totally fastinating. I will keep reading and have added your name to my list of authors to watch for and to read!!! That way you can sneak up on it.

Bought Crashers for my husband. I read Crashers, on my Kindle, to my husband while traveling to Palm Springs. Loved it and could hardly put it down. Am just about to load Breaking Point onto my Kindle. Will read it every time we get in the car to run errands in sunny Southern California. We are Portlanders I read about you in the Oregonian and applaud you for fantastic writing. All of your characters are super.

Dana, Enjoyed reading both Crashers and Breaking Point. They were both page turners for me for both the aviation related theme and especially the characters. Over the Xmas holidays I visited with relatives and we spoke of books recently read. I told them about both of your books. I am about half way through Crashers and am totally hooked.

And we have need of your talents. She offered no explanation about the years in between. The harsh lights glinted off his round glasses. Our friends have moved heaven and earth to free you. So that you can do what you must. You never followed orders, anyway.

Get us out of here. Tell us the situation. Give us time to formulate a plan.

The situation shall be made clear. You have seventy-two hours to formulate a plan. The guards glowered at one another, expressing how unhappy they were to be doing this. But they nodded back to an unseen someone in the control room and, a second later, the doors to the cells holding Asher Sahar and Eli Schullman clanked open.

The other prisoners kept mum, watching, wondering.

Plus clothes and hot food. Anything with a wireless connection. Schullman seemed to absorb more than his share of the harsh light of the corridor. Hannah looked up at him, then she made the same quarter turn to the nearest guard. She did not speak. The guard grumbled to himself, reached into a tunic pocket, and produced a smartphone. He handed it over, reaching as far as his arm could stretch, keeping clear of Schullman the best he could. Hannah turned to Asher. With you to guide it…? Schullman stabbed at phone buttons with the pad of his beefy thumb. It was a sad, knowing smile, and Hannah interpreted it correctly.

Daria lives in the United States these days. He removed his glasses and began to clean the lenses on the hem of his sweater. God being the ultimate jester. The man jerked his head toward the exit.
