Ultimate Escalation Reviews

  I enjoyed reading “Ultimate Escalation" by Randall Krzak, who in my opinion, is a highly intelligent and fascinating writer and a retired U.S. Army veteran and senior civil servant, and that in my opinion, makes his books real, exciting, and adventuresome. I have been a fan of his books with great action stories for some time.
  
  The author writes professionally, clearly, and with great descriptions. I enjoy the way this thrilling author puts you right into the scene and exciting action. For example, here is a brief excerpt,
  
  “Three gunmen burst through the door and ran into the dining room, firing their weapons.
  
  One of the eight screamed as a bullet pierced his upper left side. He clutched his chest as he fell.
  
  The others with pistols returned fire, while another threw a knife, catching one of the attackers in the chest.
  
  Ajit grabbed Vladimir’s arm. “Come! We must flee. Hurry, before we are doomed.”
  
  “What about the others?” Vladimir shouted over the onslaught, crawling out of the room.
  
  “They can take care of themselves.” Ajit scampered through a small living area on all fours, forced open a reinforced outer door, and ran for the back wall, Vladimir and Mishka a step behind.
  
  Vladimir helped Ajit and Mishka climb, cutting himself on the shards of glass embedded along the top of the wall. Blood streaked down his hand as Vladimir pulled a PPS pistol from under his jacket. As he aimed at a gunman exiting the building, a blow struck his right shoulder.”
  
  I also liked the pace of this captivating story that is told at varying paces going from a comfortable pace to a faster pace as the action and drama unfold.
  
  In my view, this author also uses an economy of words and communicates the story very well as the intense drama unfolds. He also has a keen knowledge of military weaponry, submarines, and much more making the story highly realistic and exciting.
  
  The characters are distinct and credible, and the dialogue is exceptionally well written in this electrifying story. I also felt the author was also very clever in designing the plot which made me think of what Winston Churchill once said, “Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.”
  
  Overall, in my view, this high-action story was exceptionally entertaining with unexpected events, twists and turns, bravery, cunning, and much more all leading to a thrilling ending.
  
  After reading the book, it made me reflect and wonder what the future holds in view of human nature and how people react as world tension increases with the Ukraine War, missiles in North Korea, and other major issues, and how other countries respond.
  
  Finally, I liked the way the author gave at the end of the book, the cast of the characters, his autobiography, a list of his other books, and more which adds a lot to the enjoyment of this interesting book.
  
  
  It was my pleasure to receive a free copy of this extraordinary book but that does not in any way affect my opinions in this review."
