 There’s a reference to The Magnificent Seven in ‘Good Friends Are Hard to Come By’ by Douglas Buckland, and the dynamics throughout contains echoes of that epic western showdown. After being contacted by private intelligence, Jeb sees an opportunity to leave his Oil drilling job in Cape Town and make it home to his home in Colorado. His new role as a consultant Drilling Superintendent provides the perfect cover and travel opportunities to be an undeclared agent. Told throughout in quite a lighthearted, conversational tone, Jeb recalls his training as an agent as well as challenging encounter in Kurdistan, but the main action for the plot comes when one of his motley crew of friends finds his troubles have followed him from Philadelphia and the whole unit must act in order to keep him and his loved ones safe. An entertaining story that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The author either has an in depth knowledge of guns or has put in a considerable amount of research to make Jeb and TJ’s handling of the various weapons featured detailed and believable. The same can be said for the knowledge of cars demonstrated throughout due to Jeb’s passion for refurbishing muscle cars and Rachel’s business. There’s plenty of blue-tinged humour throughout to counteract the more serious moments, and I think that the author does really well to create a sense of community and family between the characters. In all, this is an entertaining action-filled read.
