The First Rule (Joe Pike) by Robert Crais


Every new book by Robert Crais is a reason to celebrate and especially when it features Joe Pike or Elvis Cole. This one's no exception. I liked it a bit less than Chasing Darkness but it's still a great ride.
Joe Pike's old mercenary buddy Frank Meyer is killed by a home invasion group. When he investigates he finds out there's more to it than it seems. He gets involved with East-European gangsters, the ATF and his biggest challenge ever... Taking care of a baby.
As ever, Pike is the Ultimate Action Hero, shooting baddies, jumping out of windows and kicking ass. There's some great tender moments though, like when he takes care of the baby he saved or when he shows his commitment to his old crew.
With the action and total premise of the novel this is one Crais-vehicle screaming for a movie adaption.

Arranging an extensive auto experience for the right season can help to save the visitor lots of time and cash. Generally speaking, the height of summer is the most hectic time on the roadways. When the extended distance car owner will make his or her trip during other seasons, they will come across less targeted traffic and minimize petrol costs.
