WATER MEMORY by Daniel Pyne - REVIEW & GIVEAWAY
Aubrey Sentro is a new black female protagonist in Daniel Pyne's new thriller, WATER MEMORY (Thomas&Mercer). She's a top-secret black ops agent, who kicks ass and then takes names. She's been in this line of work for several decades while her husband took care of the home-front and her two kids, Jeremy and Jenny. Dad has passed away, the kids are grown up and think mom works for an insurance risk mitigation company. Huh? Exactly.
Aubrey starts having headaches and problems with her vision and memory. She goes to a private doctor who tells her she's had too many concussions and TBIs and now she's suffering from post-concussion syndrome.
Clients expect high levels of invisibility in her line of work. She screws up one too many times, so her employers tell her to take some time off. It's no week at the spa for Aubrey. She goes on a freighter cargo-ship as passenger just hoping for some rest and relation. Of course, that doesn't happen; all hells breaks loose and she must tap into her special talents and skill set.
Aubrey is a highly conflicted character. She's extremely complex and her unresolved mother issues are regularly seeping into her memory. She struggles with the ethical and moral contradictions of her job and hopes her kids won't hate her if they end up finding out what she does. There are some over-the-top secondary characters in the book that keep the action going. WATER MEMORY has one of the best opening scenes I've read in a thriller for a while. Make sure you buckle up and enjoy the ride.
DANIEL PYNE’s screenwriting credits include the remake of The Manchurian Candidate, Pacific Heights, and Fracture. He made his directorial debut with the indie cult film Where’s Marlowe? Pyne’s list of television credits (writing and showrunning) is vast, and includes J. J. Abrams’s Alcatraz and Miami Vice. His two previous novels, Twentynine Palms and A Hole in the Ground Owned by a Liar, were published by Counterpoint Press. He lives in Southern California.
