At the beginning of September you might have seen the FIRST Wild Card Tours preview for the book Unlimited and today I want to tell you about it again in an effort with a launch team to really get the word out about the book that released September 1st and the film that is due to release in 25 US cities on October 16th. Nearly always I dive right in and enjoy reading stories from the Gentleman Adventurer and while for me this is not quite a Marc Royce nor Storm Syrrell novel, it is action filled and intriguing which keeps the pages turning. As for on film, I definitely want to watch it and I honestly think every contemporary action adventure Davis Bunn writes would make for a good movie. (I haven't read any of his historicals yet, gasp I know me right?!)
Simon is a complex character and this books is about his journey, his growing and learning about life and there is a good bit of adventure along the way. The rest of the cast of characters provides great countering and support and I'm intrigued to wonder what the actors will pull off in the film as to what I've seen in my imagination. The “bad guys” verses “good guys” had me shouting in my head at times as to when I saw things the characters did not, but overall definitely good suspense and plenty of thrill.
Yet again, entertainment and hours of reading from Davis Bunn and I cannot wait for his next novel in several weeks to come!
