Attain Deadout Published By Jon McGoran Delivered In Leaflet

think I liked McGoran's first book, Drift, a bit better but, in Deadout, his likable character Doyle Carrick is still figuring out his relationship and stumbling onto ecodisasters.
This time, it's the potential demise of the bee colonies on Martha's Vineyard, Be prepared to hear a lot of information about bees, and to let the sometimesoverthetop action unfold, A fun read and, like Drift, scarily possible, Jon McGorans ecothriller Deadout is riddled with gun fire, fights, cars, romance, and bees, This testosterone and pheromonefilled story nods to the classic cop drama while educating on the importance of bees to our survival,
I enjoyed riding in Detective Doyle Carricks firstperson narrative, His splashes of humor balanced the seriousness of issues that forced me to contemplate parallel real possibilities, It also inspired me to research more information on GMOs and colony collapse, something I had never heard of,
Just the promise of a Philadelphia cop in Marthas Vineyard on an attempted vacation was enticing enough to start reading, Once in, I was pulled along fast and didnt want to jump out of Doyles voice, which reminds me of a friend youre willing to get into trouble with for the exhilarating experience.

McGorans main cop, and an incident reminiscent of Sylvester Stallones movie character Rambo, made this Phillygrown girl feel right at home, Dust Up is on deck for my next Doyle Carrick read,
McGoran's books scare me in a real way, when I think that the things he describes are not beyond happening in real life.
He brings gravitas to my generation's advertising slogan, "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature, " If you want to go on eating your corn and your honey and all your other "good for you" foods without worry, do not read this book.
But if you think the real horror in life could be lurking in your cereal bowl then you'll love Jon McGoran's stories,
Doyle Carrick is a hero I can definitely enjoy following, Bring on the next environmental disaster, Mr McGoran, . . My spoon and I will be waiting! Great book kept me reading it till the end, Lots of excitement and mystery, Plus a few lessons in the nature of bees and how they help farmers grow their crops, Fast moving. A great concept with likable characters, An indefatigable and nearly indestructible hero, lots of straightforward and instinctual action, attractive members of the opposite sex, and the guy trying to take over the world.
“Dead Out” by Jon McGoran the second in the Doyle Carrick series has all of these, plus a sciencebased mystery wrapped inside,
Doyle, a Philly cop with PSTD issues, finds himself on Marthas Vineyard, lending a hand to a buddy with a bee monitoring program and helping whipsmart scientist Annalisa figure out why the islands honeybee population is crashing.
Doyles chemically sensitive horticulturist girlfriend, Nola, joins the islands organic farmers, Islandrichkidcumecoterrorist Teddy Renfrews pissing match over bees imported by realityTVstarcumfarmer Johnny Blue turns violent, Doyle gets pulled into it, attracting the attention of Jimmy the islands only competent and honest cop and Renfrew Senior who hires Doyle as Teddys new minder.
The closer Doyle and company get to the “what” of the bee crisis, the more blackops thugs show up, the more shots are fired Doyles direction, and the more people associated with the bees start disappearing.
The “what” leads to the “who” behind the genetically altered import bees, and a race to stop the threat before it spreads, Conspiracy theorists and revenge junkies alike will be satisfied with the ending,
Beyond an enhanced plot, other pluses are little gems of scenes like Doyles anguished flashback to observing a captive bee to death as a kid, and acknowledging Nolas illness to be as much mental/emotional as physical.
Another plus a few delightfully gray personalities Teddy, and a wisecracking sniper who stand out against the blackandwhite stock footage of minor characters.
Theres also an implied promise of future Jimmy and Annalisa pairings, which would be welcome,
On the minus side, Nola appears here only as object of desire, frustration, or pity or plot device her chemical sensitivities drive the setting.
And there are some troubling repetitions early on, like Doyles exact thoughts spoken aloud by another character mere paragraphs later, or the multiple, similar explanations of Nolas illness.

Overall, though, this is a rippedfromrecentheadlines story by an author with a lot of promise,
Another fastpaced, well thought out book from McGoran, Lots of research must have gone into this one and you can definitely tell, Probably just an issue for me, but my only criticism is with the number of times needing/getting coffee was mentioned, We got it, the only way Doyle could possibly go on with his day was with a cup of joe, Obviously a very minor complaint in an otherwise really great read, Doyle Carrick and his girlfriend Nola's relationship has gotten somewhat stale, They take a weekend trip to Martha's Vineyard, She ends up working for a bigger farm there for a jack ass rich boy,

Pure entertainment is what this book is,

Stuff I didn't like about this book
Sometimes it seemed over the top with what was going on with the bees.
I know we need them, I'm a granola girlie myself, It just seemed extreme at times in this story,

Sometimes, . . well it was cheesy. Entertaining but still had that cheese factor,

What I like about it
Frigging Doyle Carrick, . .
sitelink
I crushed bad on him, Part asshole. . part hero. . frigging rocked.

Letting people know how bad Monsanto Stoma is, GMO's, genetically modifying pisses me off, I hate they have so much control and this book does an good job of making you very scared on just how far they will go.


I have to pick up the first in this series now, Doyle takes on GMO's in that book too, I think Captain Planet might just get a run for his money with this guy,

I received an arc of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review, Excellent environmental thriller!

Mom McGoren has written an environmental thriller that hits all the numbers, Just a great book. Interesting characters. Terrific plot. Unique story. Also, attention to technical detail, I highly recommend this book, I received Dead Out as a Goodreads giveaway winner, To be perfectly honest, with the plot of the story revolving around the disappearance of bees, I never would have thought that I'd actually be interested in a book like this.
. . but surprisingly, I enjoyed it very much, Of course, there's more behind the plot of the story besides just the disappearance of bees, but you'll have to read it for yourself to find out about that.
. .

There were a few instances of irrational behavior by a couple of characters that I found a little annoying and distracting.
Also, the main characters relationship flipflopped so often that that I found it hard to believe that they were still together by the end of the book.
I know, I know relationships can be like that sometimes, I just found it slightly distracting, but by no means did it distract from the pace of the story.


Over all, Dead Out was a great story that I would recommend to anyone who likes a good thriller, In this second book featuring many of the same cast of characters, Deadout, is tighter than the first book, Drift, Detective Doyle Carrick, returns as the protagonist and is the typical tough cop that has a heart too, This time he takes on the very real problem of bee colony collapse, I really enjoyed how the story unfolded, the twists and turns and how it tied up in the end, It was good how the huge and evil GMO/chemical companies had faces to them by including the men who ran them as characters.

Mr. McGoran does a great job of entertaining the reader, while educating them about a real challenge facing the world today,
Well worth the read,
Lawrence Verigin, author of, Dark Seed

Mayhem ensues. All set on marthas vineyard, But atpages this thin story goes onnon,
Quote from page
““Then it was just him and me, He stood there with his back to me, I had the feeling he was trying to lure me out, and I was planning a move, wondering if I could close the distance between us without making any noise.
He seemed the kind of grizzled vet who could silently disembowel you using a library card, ”
