Description

From an author who “writes with the pace of Lee Child and the heart of Harlan Coben” (New York Times bestselling author Joseph Finder): The clock is ticking as bodyguard Ryan Lock races to save millions from the plot of a dangerous widow bent on revenge. Christmas Eve in New York, but for ex-military bodyguard Ryan Lock it's business as usual. His task: to protect the head of one of America's most powerful corporations. But when a bloody massacre leaves bodies littering the streets of midtown Manhattan, Lock's hunt for the killers turns into an explosive game of cat and mouse. As the clock ticks towards midnight on New Year's Eve, and a female suicide bomber stalks the island of Manhattan, Lock realizes that not only is his own life in terrible danger but so are the lives of millions of others... Daily Telegraph Thriller of the Year. "An impressive debut novel featuring one of the finest female villains since Ian Fleming's Rosa Klebb...this is a writer, and a hero, to watch" - The Daily Mail "Sean Black writes with the pace of Lee Child, and the heart of Harlan Coben. Lockdown is a sure-fire winner" - Joseph Finder, New York Times Bestselling Author of Buried Secrets "Funny, tough, and furiously paced, Lockdown explodes off the page" - Jesse Kellerman "Supremely slick...An excellent first novel" - The Daily Telegraph "Hold on tight - this one burns like a lit fuse" - Gregg Hurwitz, Internationally Bestselling Author of You're Next Read more

    • Certainly Exciting
It was a good read and I found it easy to continue giving it my attention; but, several times the story advanced past a point in the action that I could see coming, and I missed the narrative of how I actually got to that point. It appeared that the writer didn’t want to get mired down in that development. I wish he had. ... show more

    • Ryan Locked
For a first time book, Sean Black has me "Locked" as a fan of his work. Great job weaving 3 different scenarios into one book. Ryan Lock is not a cop or even an investigator of any kind. He is a security officer for Meditech; a lab that tests new drugs and immunizations on animals. Animal rights activists, domestic terrorism and international terrorism all play a big part in the three scenarios and there is plenty of action to be found. I will be checking out more of Sean Black's work in the near future. Thank you, Amazon for the great read. ... show more

    • Bit of a patchwork quilt construction
For those who are keeping score, here are the standings on all the components I've noted most reviewers object to: (1) No paranormal/supernatural/magic components; (2) Some profanity; (3) Hint of romance; (4) No sex; (5) Mildly bloody, but not protracted, violence; (6) Some non-graphic child and animal abuse (mildly psychological and biological testing, respectively - if the latter bothers you at ALL, even simply at the mention, I might approach this one with caution); (7) No religious/alternative lifestyle agenda or promotion; (8) Not a cliffhanger ending; (9) Grammar and punctuation police, come ahead on. As other reviewers have noted, somewhat clichéd/implausible moments...the Carrie-Lock relationship seems like an afterthought...antagonists made up from the "Thriller Character Handbook" and perhaps no wow factor but it still kept me engaged, flaws I found were rather easily overlooked. I liked Lock's background coming from a different experience than most white hats and I really appreciated that his relationship (? Not much of one) with his girlfriend wasn't explicitly intimate or sexually charged, an aspect which I feel greatly detracts from most mystery/thriller novels' focus. I am not comparing the plot or the characters to those of any other author, as I feel that does a disservice to both. I was really impressed that Black actually went through the sort of training he used to make up Lock's background. Whether or not - as some reviewers have noted - this was accurately portrayed is not within my field of expertise on which to opine but it felt authentic to me. I would read more by Sean Black, I can conceive re-reading this one, I would recommend it to a friend (as long as you're not super judgmental), and I checked my e-reader inventory to see if I had more by Sean Black available; thankfully, I do. ... show more

    • Good mystery
I can’t believe how sick some people can be. Anything that makes them money or makes themselves feel important is okay

    • Very good read.
I enjoyed this very much. Fast moving and intense, it is ready to be made into a movie. This read was action packed from beginning to the end.

    • Lockdown: The First Ryan Lock Novel is a solid action read
Sean Black did more training for this novel than most active duty soldiers go through. The points that I like in a good action novel were met. Lots of action which Lockdown gave me. The Initial Phase of the novel explained the base of the story and the protagonist's background, introduced us to the antagonist without letting on how bad he really was, introduced most of the supporting characters and setup the initial action plot for the story. There were several game changers in the story to add to the suspense. While the last major plot change may have been a bit on the outside, it still fit with the overall theme of the novel and worked for me. The action scenes were plentiful and kept me engrossed in them. While maybe the dialogue was not perfect, I did not find anything that pulled me out of the story such as misspellings and glaringly incorrect grammar. The romantic interest could have been rounded out with a bit more background but was adequate. If not for the romantic interest, the hero could not have had as much help finding and eliminating the bad guy(s). The introduction of a more dangerous antagonist than the original one is not new but was done in a plausible manner. For a first shot at an action novel, Sean Black did a credible job. It is much more difficult to be a good author than a critic. Whether a story is successful is measured in sales and fan following. It appears to me that "Lockdown" is doing well. ... show more

    • Great first book on Ryan
Sean spins a good tale to introduce you to Ryan & Ty. You can see the details of his research on close protection come thru in the story.
