Joanna Penn, author of thriller novel Pentecost, reviews Scott Mariani, The Shadow Project.
I found my first Scott Mariani book in a secondhand bookstore and have gone on to devour several of these books in a row. They feature Ben Hope, ex SAS security consultant who gets involved in various adventures. He is a kind of Jack Reacher character but more into his relationships, not so much of a loner. Jeff Decker helps Ben run Le Val, a tactical training unit in France and Brooke Marcel is the love interest, on and off across multiple books. If you like James Rollins Sigma Force, you'll definitely like Scott Mariani. I was also thrilled to discover that Ben wants to complete his degree in theology at Oxford University which was my own degree, so I'll always have a soft spot for him!
