has done it again, Noah Reid just keeps getting better and better, Can't wait for the next installment, Thanks Wes. So I began with book
There were times when I was reading this when I wondered if the author was pulling previouslyused vignettes from pigeonholes to assemble a new book.
He wasn't, but much of the action is very similar to earlier Noah Reid books, I enjoyed the story, and have to say that Lowe has a great style of writing,
The story is not for the faint of heart, but creates mental images that are breathtaking, Most of the characters are familiar, which gives rise to the deja vu feeling, By the end of the tale, some old friends are lost, creating a very bittersweet feeling, I got an advanced copy from the author for review, I found few typos, but thought the whole book deserved a rave review, Forbidden Cargo a review by Rosemary Kenny

They just keep coming, Chins children!
Noah Reid, meet Prince, another child of criminal mastermind Chin.
Prince, as motivated by his lust for power as he is for proving to his father that he is more than a glorified street thug, goes into business with Alexei, a Russian mobster.
This duo shares a mutual depravity: a lust for sex with children, First on the agenda is to get back a busload of girls that Noah had taken from them, A dozen Russian chickadees from Alexei, and three Chinese twinkies from Prince, Can Noah stop Prince and Alexei before they force more children into sexual slavery How is Noah going to shut down this unholy alliance before they drown the Big Apple in depravity and cruelty
What did I like Noah is just that guy that every woman would want to have around.
Dedicated to the cause of saving people, loving and kind, This time he is trying to save young children from the deprivation of two men that want to use them for sex themselves and the sex trade.
It takes everything that all of them have trying to keep these kids out of their hands and at a high cost to all.
What will you like This is a very real problem in the world and Noah is just the guy to take them on.
It is definitely RAW, DEPRAVED AND UNFLINCHING, Action intense, deeply passionate, extreme characters, powerful storyline and forceful finish! This author knows how to tell a story that will rivet you to the pages and want more.
The details and descriptions take you right into the action making you fearful for the next page to take hold of you.
New York streets will come alive as you read on and flinch with each bullet or every knife blade, Highly recommend this read for readers of this genre, I received this from the author as a member of the launch team for an honest review with no other compensation.
Insanely full of twists, turns, and intense mindblowing action, I was on the edge of my seat through the entire book and I didnt want to put it down! I cant believe how things turn out, it was such a shocker.
I wonder how things will go when Noah goes up against Chins final kid and of course, Chin himself, I love this series. Forsaken CargoNot a very good book from the lack of reality and no research of facts, The "force of a nuclear explosion knocked Prince, . . twenty feet away. " Nuclear force equals twenty feet, huh, The action and the dialog are unbelievable, too much Hollywood influence and too many convenient happenings to make the story flow.
The violence against tigers and leopards is too much and too graphic, Yes, it's a cultural and a sickopsycho thing but it's too much, This is the worse written of the several books I've read so far in this series and I'm disappointed, I'm not seeing the horror of sex slave trading, but ungrateful children rebelling against help, Yes, the book is fast paced, but I find it boring and childish, It also bothered me not to have read all the books in sequence since so much of the past is regurgitated.
I still own seven more books by this author that I probably will not read,
An interesting introduction to the Shaolin philosophy, the main players and their histories and their plans for the future.
Don't expect realism in everything, The violence against tigers is terrible, but if you understand that character's makeup/beliefs/culture, then you understand the violence, Some of the action is not realistic, so approach reading these books as entertainment, Hollywoodstyle,
A lot of laughs are through out the books, some at the events unfolding, some from humor, There's a preview of each book, which I appreciate knowing,
Evil Rises This is my first book by this author and I enjoyed it, The well written story introduces the Shaolin philosophy and the five important players in the Noah Reid series, The characters are interesting their dialog realistic and streamlined and while not a cliffhanger, the foundation is cast and continues,
Noah In My Own Words Noah's life story through law school before his adventurous life begins in earnest, Interesting, and has WR Lowe added into the short story, Tongueincheek and there's a preview, which I appreciate knowing, I wouldn't buy this book outside of this boxed set it's not needed,
Betrayed Fast paced action packed violent, Well written and interesting, but approach material as Hollywood influenced with some of the events working out a little too well.
But the story moves on, How an elderly man endedstories up on the outside of a building was never answered, Humorous from several different views points, Since I don't have the other books, there were players in this book I knew nothing about, but that didn't take away from the story since they were identified.
No cliffhanger, but there's more to the series,Thrilling!
Another well written, fast paced instalment in the Noah Reid adventures,
Another of Chin's offspring takes on Noah and his friends, Prince hates his father but loved power and money, which leads to a showdown of epic proportions,
This is my favourite book in the Noah Reid stories, so far! Theyre only children
From the criminal underbellies of Little Odessa and New Yorks Chinatown, Noah Reid rescues two groups of young girls caught in human trafficking.
As illegals, its up to Noah to protect them from their terrible options: deportation or sexual slavery,
One of the depraved masters is a brutal Russian mob leader, The other, the steroidfueled son of a Triad leader Noah took down, He wants not only the girls but the family fortune that Noah has seized,
The two form an uneasy alliance to launch battle on Noah, The spoils of war are innocent girls whose lives have barely begun, Another Noah Reid knockout from Wesley Lowe, I've loved this series from the first book and prequels, I'm not an avid action lover but the descriptions just make everything come alive, There are few action writers who can bring things to life for me and Wesley Lowe is among the best, Oh I can't breathe, So exciting.
While this book is best read as part of the series , I am sure it would be just as exciting as a standalone novel.
So much action that it is an adrenaline rush just reading it, I loved how it mixes Christianity and the martial arts as well as addressing the issues of Sex trafficking and drug addiction and the hope for reaching the other side of addiction.
Get the whole series, you won't be disappointed, Again the Noah Reid group faces extreme danger as they rescue two trios of girls that have been trafficked into sexual slavery.
The continuing battle between and the hardtokill Chinese gangster as the gangster's son, Prince joins the adversaries in New York, Prince wrestles with leopards rather than the tigers favored by his father, and that creates a new and different trap for Noah.
The descriptions are sparse, but provide enough detail to create good visual images for the reader, With a variety of enemies seeking to hurt them, Noah and his posse keep the reader in suspense through the entire book.
I write what I know and care about, My work is infused with relentless furious action and/or paranormal charismata, Contemporary worlds infused with mysticism, Breathless, brain twisting plots. High stakes suspense that churns the psyche, But ultimately it is knowing and experiencing the lives of people that provide the impetus of Stories that Grip the Soul.
Ive made music with Kainai First Nations, helped save Russian refugees from deportation, hung with Martial Arts Grandmasters, counseled WWII vets on their deathbeds.
Not to mention deep Chinese, cultural participation, Wesley Robert Lowe is an award winning writer, filmmaker and composer including four seasons on Sesame St.
