A Colton Banyon Mystery book # 33

All books in the “Dubious” series are an action adventure blended with today’s world issue. In this latest, the topic centers on Rock Nodules. Although part of a series, “A Dubious Rock” can be read on its own.

Mr. Kubicki follows his usual pattern: fast-paced, lots of action, over the top storyline that holds us captive from the opening words to the last and a bunch of loveable and not so loveable characters with some very villain ones to shoot at. Yes, we have a lot of killing, no fear; the scenes are not too descriptive. The story moves along at a good pace and is smoothly said with a clean language. No cuss words from anyone. Mr. Kubicki through the time has mellowed his style when it concerns his female characters. At the beginning they were ridiculously depicted now they are simply badass and very entertaining…

Colton Banyon and his team are called in Long Beach California to solve a mystery: identify a young woman who has been murdered and the enigma behind those strange rocks found at the bottom of her boat. As the case moves on, Colton discovers a huge conspiracy involving many bigwigs…...and the fun begins…enjoy.

A Dubious Rock by Gerald J. Kubicki
Really enjoyed this mystery and thought when it first started out it was to be a 1940's war book.
Just a dream but it seems all so real. There is so much action and special teams that come to the aid of the police and other forces.
Just when you think the Homeland Security team is in the clear they are shot on again and they have to ramp things in. They do have connections and that really helps.
Like the subject matter as I did not know much about the rocks at all. Entertaining for me.
Especially like the excerpt about the pollution going on in the oceans of our world and a book in the series.
Was on the edge of my seat when I heard about the women and how there were able to subdue those after them with their special kicks and other devices they used.
They need to set up a school so others can learn from them. Action, adventure, mystery, cartels from all over the world and so much more.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.

Book # 32 in the Colton Banyon Mystery

Mr.Kuckicki has created an exciting mystery blended with some Sumerian mythology and has topped it all with some fantasy. What I like the best about this series is although fictional we always learn something of history all said in an entertaining way. This latest is based on the Anunnaki, ancient Sumerian gods whose primary function was decree the fates of humanity. Some believed them to be extraterrestrial.

It has been a long time between novels and I missed reading Colton exploits. “The Anunnaki Purse” is divided in Fourteen parts and starts a long time ago “A Very Ancient Times” with the ruler of Nibiru looking down on a planet in trouble, then the story progresses to “Ancient Time on Earth” and to the “Present Day”. There is a lot going on, first the Annunaki purse is found then is stolen and then the hunt is on to retrieve it. Colton takes a long time to show up but finally does with his team in Part three chapter Fourteen. But once in, his contribution to the story is what makes this thrilling adventure intercepted with fantasy a very pleasant read.

The prize:

Why is the purse so valuable? What magic does it hold? Why is it so sought after? Why would so many kill to get hold of it? We find all answers along the way…..

The Characters:

So many players to entertain us: Egyptians, North Koreans and Americans, good people, bad people and the Anunnaki… all parts played are graphic and visual. Most of all, Colton and the members of the Forever Ours team are always ready for a challenge and of course there to save the day….They are a great group of super heroes…..

The plot:

The story provides one surprise after the other. I won’t spoil your enjoyment by revealing too many secrets. But be ready to travel from one side of the world to another and even take a step or two into the unknown. …and be spooked along the way….

More thoughts:

This is an easy and fast read: small chapters, clean language and a captivating storyline. The characters are well-drawn even the Anunnaki are characterized to leave an impression and they do…..

A special mention taken from the author’s notes

“We don’t know when the Anunnaki appeared, but the first written evidence of them appeared in tablets around 2,500 B.C. We likewise don’t know when they disappeared.”

Book #5, in the Colton Banyon Mysteries

If you want an amusing and a fun read you will be well served with this series. No problem to start at any point, each book has a unique drama and just enough background on the characters to situate us so that we can enjoy the moment without being overloaded with pass information.

In, ”A Dubious Plan”, Colton and his sidekick Loni are called to Death Valley to attend a wedding. But when a WW11 German plane is found in the sand dunes things changes….fast.

Don’t take this story seriously it is pure escapism from reality and very entertaining. The tempo is steady and holds its own all through, actually it never let go. The characters are a bit shallow, especially the female roles. I been stating this for a good part of the series, sexuality and the women insecurities and appearances are too often repeated…Naked brainless women catering to sex starved men is rather annoying (no explicit sexual scenes )…... Passing beyond the sexual innuendos and the frivolities the plot is an intriguing adventure. Most of Mr. Kubicki’s stories have a bit of mysticism and cynical humour mixed with a little bit of history…The author’s notes at the end of the book tells us what triggered his inspiration to write this story.

This book may be the latest I have read but actually I have read all of the books written to date by the Kubickis.
