Code name: Jet Twenty-eight-year-old Jet was once the Mossad's most lethal operative before faking her own death and burying that identity forever. But the past doesn't give up on its secrets easily. When her new life on a tranquil island is shattered by a brutal attack, Jet must return to a clandestine existence of savagery and deception to save herself and those she loves. A gritty, unflinching roller-coaster of high-stakes twists and shocking turns, JET features a new breed of protagonist that breaks the mold. Fans of Lisbeth Salander, SALT, and the Bourne trilogy will find themselves carried along at Lamborghini speed to a conclusion as jarring and surprising as the story's heroine is unconventional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced and fun.
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2022

When Maya find herself running after an unexpected attack, one question kept on playing in her mind: "Who had betrayed her?"

I had this book for so long on my Kindle that I have completely forgotten about it. After cleaning and rearranging the content, I thought to read it next.
Why I have waited so long, I cannot say, but I am glad I finally made the time.
This fast-paced story takes you from South America, to Isreal to Belize at breakneck speed while you, as the reader, are thrown into the throes of a world of espionage and mistrust.

"The rest of it—the killing, the personal danger, the flirting with death while dancing on a razor’s edge—was immaterial. And part of her hated it, she realized—a sudden revelation that explained why she felt so empty inside even after a successful operation. Somewhere deep down in her core, she hated herself and those who had made her this way, who had created a cold, calculating killing machine for their own selfish purposes."

The transformation of Maya to Jet was quite exceptional. The one moment is she a shopkeeper, the next a person who knows her way around weapons and the most dangerous of enemies.

“You know what this is? Of course you do. This is a soldering iron. I just plugged it in. Within thirty seconds it will get hot enough to light a cigarette. I’m going to start with your head and work my way down your torso. I’m not bluffing, and you’ll be very sorry if you decide to test me.

As you track through the countries, trying to keep up, you learn also about her softer side. Once she found David, her long-lost lover, you learn more about this twenty-eight-year-old. With only one option left, she had to trust one man... A daring game of survival in a very cruel world of espionage where second chances are only for other people.

A great read and book I can definitely recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars A real thriller with a kick-ass heroine
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2012

Russell Blake wanted to create a female James Bond-like character for his new action-thriller series, Jet. His heroine is highly trained in all the military skills; she's lethal, unstoppable and never makes a mistake. I found myself asking: do people like that really exist? But I almost immediately answered: who cares? Jet is not a deep analysis of the human condition -- although there are philosophical aspects to this work. But essentially, Jet is a thrill ride as only Suspense Writer Russell Blake can do it.

Jet has all the elements readers can expect from Russell Blake: it's captivating from the first page, there's action all the way through and the pace never slows down. Bullets fly, bombs explode, Jet kicks high in a tight black leather jumpsuit. I kept imagining Milla Jovovich with long hair, even though I've never seen a Resident Evil movie.

Blake seems to know his way around some exotic locales: Trinidad, Belize, Venezuela, even Tel Aviv and Algiers.

Blake's writing chops are well evident: constant action, a good pace, and lots of details about weapons and tactics that action fans love. I had never heard of SIG guns before reading Jet. The plot is gripping, complex and complete -- no plot holes or bizarre coincidences that are hallmarks of writers less skilled than Russell Blake.

Sometimes, it felt like he was showing off with his command of the language. He starts by breaking Elmore Leonard's rule -- he opens with weather. It takes some skill to pull that off and keep readers reading.

At other times, it reads like Eddie Van Halen's guitar writing: fast, thrilling, but really, Russell, do you have to show off this much? Take this:

The fountain in the middle of the square, thick calcium deposits crusting the pitted centerpiece, hosted a squabble of sparrows intent on bathing in the rainwater accumulated in its base. Drawn by their raucous chirping, he slowed to watch them enjoy their brief reprieve from the oppressive heat.

Or

A pair of flying fish catapulted out of the water off the bow, keeping pace as they surfed the glistening spindrift that danced above the waves, to the steady accompanying throb of the boat's motor.

But it's almost flawless. Really, I found seven typos in the whole book. Yes, I counted.

Story:

Jet starts with Carnival in Trinidad. Maya owns a small Internet café, which seems like something hard to make a profit with in a third-world country. She's attacked by professional killers, fights back, killing the whole team, or at least all but one. She then flees the country, which sets her on a course back to her past and to figure out who's trying to kill her, and why they're going to such lengths to do it.

We quickly learn that Maya was actually an Israeli super-agent code-named Jet, part of a super-secret, super-skilled and super-effective team with similar hotshot code names like Rain, Fire, Tiger and Lightning. Some time before the action of the book starts, she had faked her own death to get out of the whole assassin trade. She wanted a quieter life, and tried to create one in a tropical backwater.

Of course, life doesn't let her settle down. It turns out that one of her targets as a Mossad assassin had a brother, a Russian multi-billionaire oil tycoon and all-round bad guy. He wants revenge and has hired a top team of assassins to kill Jet. They track her down through the only person who knows that Jet's death was phoney: her old boss and lover, David.

Apart from Jet, all the characters are three-dimensional and believable. My favourite was Dr. Rani Stein, the obese general practitioner -- heart of gold, deeply flawed, terrified yet brave. I felt like I knew him, or someone very much like him.
Jet, though, is a different story. She's almost perfect, apart from her aloofness and lack of compassion for just about anyone. I guess if you want to be an unstoppable assassin, you have to be a complete bitch.

To me, Jet was not a believable character: she's too fast, too accurate a shot, too smart ... I mean, how does a single unarmed person kill six professional assassins in a matter of minutes? How can one person be so supremely good at not just planning but also executing an operation where two people eliminate a score of adversaries on their own turf? But then, no super-spy characters are believable. James Bond certainly isn't, no matter how hard actors try to make him so.

And that's not the point of this novel. Jet is a series for lovers of kick-ass action, and Jet delivers a boatload of kickass. No, she's not invulnerable: she has a couple of weak spots, which almost undo her before the book ends. So, while Jet is not believable, she is fallible; the reader can identify with her at a few places in the plot -- mind you, for me, it's not when she's killing a gunman with one of those pointed receipt-holders you see on a store counter.

So, I'll give this book four stars for its airtight plot, flawless expression, non-stop action and solid characterization; I take one away because I just cannot believe in these superhuman killing machines. They make great movies, but are less satisfying on the printed page.

Once again, Russell Blake proves that the independent author can, and does, deliver a good read.

This book signals the birth of a female agent who is adept in handling firearms, is accomplished in martial arts, is remorseless and dedicated to her job. In short, a female protagonist who can take on the worst of villains with panache and elan. The plot moves at lightning speed and the action sequences are full of required thrills. Characters are well developed and the pace of action unwavering.
