He has been hired by Richard Dean to snatch his daughter, Marianne, away from her rich but abusive boyfriend, Bradley Jorgenson. But Joe soon encounters a glitch—Marianne is quite happy with Bradley and unwilling to leave him. As Joe soon discovers, there is someone that wants Bradley dead. All Joe cares about is protecting Marianne; he has no qualms about leaving Bradley to his fate. But then he stumbles across some information that leads him to believe that Bradley may not be quite the bad guy Judgement and Wrath: The Second Joe Hunter Thriller has been painted to be. In reality, he is a serial killer and not a hit man. As is usual in these kinds of books, he has Mommy issues and various quirks and superstitions. He has arrived at a complicated way of making numerical equations for each person that he has killed and enters the information in a book that he keeps chained to himself at all times. He is physically unattractive and been shunned for his entire life, yada yada yada. Hilton does an excellent job of writing action scenes. It is decidedly average. The prose is clunky, and the plot derivative. It is completely incredible that this lone individual could kill masses of people at securely guarded locations. If you are the kind of person who uses blurbs to determine whether you will read a book or not, exercise caution with this book! If you dig the larger than life male action heroes, then Judgment and Wrath should be right in your wheelhouse. On occasion, I like the escapism as I did here. Tough guy Joe Hunter and his pal Rink are a pair of ex-commando partners who're hired to do troubleshooting for their clients. This time around they take on a religious nut job who calls himself Dantalion. There are lots of chase scenes between the stuff blowing up, and the body count rises fast. At times, you may roll your eyes at Hunter If you dig the larger than life male action heroes, then Judgment and Wrath should be right in your wheelhouse. At times, you may roll your eyes at Hunter's amazing exploits, but, hey, just chill out and enjoy the ride told in crisp, descriptive prose. I'd say the parallel seems apt enough. View 1 comment. Nov 16, Speesh rated it really liked it Shelves: adventurethrillerJudgement and Wrath: The Second Joe Hunter Thriller. He seems unlucky, that Joe Hilton. Two books in and two psychopathic serial murderers on his ass. Funny how the super-mad killers seem to be making a bee-line for Joe Hunter. How unlucky is that?! Ah, yes, but this one is actually a contract killer, or Contract Killer, I never know if these things should have caps or not. Cut the crap: I thoroughly enjoyed this one once I left my ego at the door and got on with enjoying it. Always a good sign. For the author. Maybe not for my bank balance or my long-term health if the wife finds out…Oh well, you only live once. What I thought sometimes underway, was maybe Matt writes seeing the film of the story in his head while writing? The two books so far have all the elements that would make good films. It is mentioned once I think it was just the once and that was by Hunter himself. This time, Hunter takes on a job to find and rescue a young girl from a bully. The modern Dantalion wants to emulate the biblical one and that necessitates the killing of many people. Many, many people. Oh no. Or an assassin of those who need assassinating. I saw the death we doled out as a necessary evil. We are asked by him to join him, we are shown by the actions of the others, that he must Judgement and Wrath: The Second Joe Hunter Thriller right, that we must agree with him. But…and there has to Judgement and Wrath: The Second Joe Hunter Thriller a but, who IS he to decide? However… there are, uncomfortable, similarities between Hunter and his nemesis Dantalion. Clearly the mark of a mad, psychotic killer who must be stopped at all costs, inside or outside the law. There are only Judgement and Wrath: The Second Joe Hunter Thriller strands to the story at that point, maybe there needs to be more, a third location. It is more mechanical than intuitive. Needs some work, that area. Good lad. Judgement and Wrath: The Second Joe Hunter Thriller like that. Though I still think answering and having a reasonably sensible conversation on your mobile phone while your tear-arsing after the deadliest killer ever, stretches it a little. I like that Hunter is beginning to be more aware of what he is Judgement and Wrath: The Second Joe Hunter Thriller danger of being seen as, and therefore Hilton of what he has created. To be honest, it would still work and the stories still be very popular if he just went after and killed the bad guys straight off. But for us bleeding- heart liberals, we need some kind of sign of awareness of the moral dimension and dilemma involved. Perhaps fortuitously for those untroubled by such fumblings, Hunter still gets the job done with great style and gusto. They are thrillers, they thrill. They are action books, there's plenty of action. But there's also something else. I can't quite put my finger on it yet, but I'm going to enjoy reading more to find out. Maybe that's it - they're enjoyable. Maybe I should stop trying to over analyse, relax and enjoy the ride. Yes, I'll do that.
