The Treadstone Resurrection - Joshua Hood

The first novel in an explosive new series inspired by Robert Ludlum's Bourne universe, The Treadstone Resurrection introduces an unforgettable hero and the shadowy world that forged him...
Treadstone made Jason Bourne an unstoppable force, but he's not the only one.
Operation Treadstone has nearly ruined Adam Hayes. The top-secret CIA Black Ops program trained him to be an all but invincible assassin, but it also cost him his family and any chance at a normal life. Which is why he was determined to get out. Working as a carpenter in rural Washington state, Adam thinks he has left Treadstone in the past, until he receives a mysterious email from a former colleague, and soon after is attacked by an unknown hit team at his job site.
Adam must regain the skills that Treadstone taught him--lightning reflexes and a cold conscience--in order to discover who the would-be killers are and why they have come after him now. Are his pursuers enemies from a long-ago mission? Rival intelligence agents? Or, perhaps, forces inside Treadstone? His search will unearth secrets in the highest levels of government and pull him back into the shadowy world he worked so hard to forget.


My Review:
Fans of the Jason Bourne series will love The Treadstone Resurrection, an action packed, heart racing, adrenaline filled spy novel. Our hero this time around is Adam, a former CIA agent.
Wanting a quiet life, he soon realises he needs to go back to the work he thought he had left behind. He is a likeable character when we know his back story. A real good hero figure.
This is admittedly not my usual type of book, but I will admit I fully enjoyed it from beginning to end. It took me on quite the journey, it really kept me on my toes so to speak and didn’t disappoint.
Well written and fast paced with many twists and turns that were totally unexpected; this combined with how the tension builds through to a really gripping conclusion.
I will be really quite interested to see where this goes and follow more from the author. If I can find this exciting, enjoyable and a book I couldn’t put down I am sure it will surprise many other readers. Worth broadening your horizons and trying something new I say.
I definitely recommend this one.
