Fiction - Action

Reviewed by Anne Boling for Readers' Favorite
Andrew J. Rafkin follows his 5-star novel Creating Madness with an epic read Mediterranean Madness. His latest book continues the story of O.R.C.A. Retired Navy Seal, Commander Reef Johansen, and former Greek Secret Service agent Alexis Mikos work together to keep the United States coast safe from terrorism and drug trafficking. Their nemesis, the Hon brothers, and Jafar Assad are once again a threat to the safety of the citizens of the planet Earth. Their game is biological and nuclear warfare.
Rafkin’s book is not a fast read. The reader will want to savor each morsel of this techno-thriller. This fast-paced novel is written in an extremely intelligent voice. Rafkin had me convinced this could happen. I certainly hope we have something similar to O.R.C.A. in place. Rafkin keeps his characters real and his scenarios believable. He sticks with realism rather than take his books into the superhero realm. I’m a great fan of Cussler and Clancy. He takes the best of each and combines it to give readers just what they want. Intrigue, action, adventure, and technology combined to make this one of the best books of 2009.

After a dirty bomb was detonated in the harbor of Galveston, Texas, Andre Petrov forms a team of elite specialist to protect the United States coast. The Oceans Reconnaissance Commission and Associates, O.R.C.A, team includes Commander "Reef" Johansson and Alexis Mikos. North Korean, Kim Su Hong, has a insane plan to extract vengeance on the United States. O.R.C.A faces a continuing challenge when Hong teams up with Muslim extremes.
Creating Madness by Andrew Rafkin has a nonstop action-filled plot. I have long been a fan of adventure books. Where Clive Cussler's, Dirk Pit is over-the-top, the lead character, Andre Petrov, is realistic. I usually prefer the characters to be over-the-top but was not disappointed in Petrov. Rafkin combines technology with likable characters and a plot ripped from the headlines. Fans of Cussler and Clancy will want to add Andrew Rafkin to their list of must-read authors.
