My thanks to NetGalley and publisher BooksGoSocial for the e-copy.
I really liked the beginning of this book - a yacht is blown-up off of the Brazilian coast, killing a family; an advertising executive travelling with his assistant drive off of a cliff in Spain, and an Interpol officer is sent to investigate a murder on a Greek Island.

However, there was very little 'flow' to the writing, it being constantly interrupted by peripheral thoughts from the main characters; driving sequences were tediously over-described; likewise lengthy passages detailing historical facts and philosophical questioning. Even the simplest of descriptions throughout the book were embroidered, sometimes beyond sense.

Not my cup of tea I'm afraid, but hey! no harm in giving it a go.

this was a really good suspenseful read, the characters were great and I felt that there was a risk in the story.

I read this in a couple of days,good story,a lot going on.Got a little confused in the beginning
but as I got further in all the characters fell into place.Liked the writing style,good flow, couldn't
wait till the next chapter to see what was happening with other characters.

The novel has an intricate plot with many layers. It's a fast paced book that keeps the reader engaged. I enjoyed the book.

The Nemesis Factor by Inaki Martin Velasco – 5 Stars

Excellent novel that is well presented and delivers increasing interest and intrigue the longer you read. It was impossible to put this book down. It starts out with a tale of a loving family’s yacht exploding. The last few paragraphs of the Prologue then let you wonder whether this was just a dream of some American who was on drugs.

Suspense continues with main characters Adrian and Laura returning from a movie shoot and flying off a cliff onto the shoreline of an inescapable island vacated by two very mysterious South Americans who rescue them. Flavio and Paul keep them alive and provide give them a rustic “vacation” for many weeks before their mysterious associates arrive to evacuate them. Drugging Adrian and Laura before the evacuation leaves them with no knowledge of where they are once again deserted and by whom or why.

Meanwhile another tale is spinning with an Interpol agent Denis and his research expert Sylvie who begin investigating the hanging of an ex-Bosnian army individual now minus all his extremities. He discovers several other suspicious murders in his investigation, all eventually tied together by some common thread which he continually pursues from Europe to Harvard University until he is told the case is abruptly closed by his superiors for reasons that are classified. He relentlessly ignores the orders to cease and begins to connect some of the other characters and learns … well, you’ll just have to read this to find out.

What I can tell you is that we are informed that Justice is beyond the formal laws and order we normally follow. The author also suggest that this entire book is just an introduction of the new Justice and that the characters will continue their ventures to further define what is right. I am on board and want to continue reading more and more of any series written. I am a believer now that myths really guide Justice more than any written laws and also drive the appropriate order to enforce it.

Reviewer: Rich

The author packs a lot into this thriller. A number of seemingly unrelated story lines. Plenty of back stories. Unexpected and sudden deaths, comments on the Balkan conflicts, Argentina military junta, philosophy, the workings of Interpol, shady characters and senior police acting strangely are just a few of the myriad issues covered. Kind of like a Bond book with scenes in exotic locations around the world. In the end it all makes sense and there is enough balls in the air to see a series coming along.
