Heart of Vengeance by Terry Mixon, Glynn Stewart

2.0

It reads like the plot of an action rpg where the plot is the least important thing about the game. We get the requisite main character tragic backstory where his family and girlfriend get killed before they are introduced in order to provide motivation to pursue vengeance. Everything after that goes the character's way with no effort on his part- all the good guys like and help him, he wins all the fights, the outthinks all his opponents. I found it outright hilarious how eager all the grizzled military veterans were to follow the orders of an 18-year-old with no skills or experience.

So effortlessly winning all the time can sometimes be fun in a game but reading about someone doing it for hundreds of pages is just dull.
