Pegasus Down

In Philip Donlay's Pegasus Down, the 6th installment in the Donovan Nash thriller series, this fast-paced thriller deals with headlines that's almost similar to today's headlines. When Donovan learned about his wife's plane going down and presuming missing, it had turned his world upside down. And that had started the search for her plane somewhere in Eastern Europe. For Dr. Lauren McKenna, she became a sole survivor of her flight and had to find a way to escape from treacherous waters, even if she had to fight tooth and nail for her life. And when she's captured from a mad Ukrananian, only she knew what secrets her deceased colleague had never told. For Donovan, he had to reach out to an old friend, someone who knew about his past life and former name, for outside help. From there, Donovan his EcoWatch team join forces with his friend's daughter and prowl the land for clues to start a rescue. As soon as they learn more about the top secret that could destroy millions of people, he rescues Lauren and then loses her in a blink of an eye again. The race is on to stop this mad man, when more lies, blackmail, and treason have been revealed, and justice would be prevailed at the last hail mary save.


This was another nail-biting and intense thriller from start to finish. I instantly cared about Donovan and Lauren, and how they faced imminent foreign threats from across Eastern Europe. I did think Donovan was quite amusing as Lauren was quite brilliant and something else together. They do make a fascinating and a tight couple to be Abigail's doting parents. I do love the vast array of locations from Washington D.C. to Russia and Austria with spellbinding scenic settings. This would take you on a tailspin dive and make you want to buckle your seatbelts from a bumpy ride with non-stop action, suspense, intrigue and a lot of drama to keep you at the edge of your seat.

Will you join the search party in Pegasus Down tonight?

Deadly Echoes

If you love a great fast-paced mystery, you'll love this newest installment from Philip Donlay. I had the pleasure to review this via Netgalley. In Deadly Echoes, the 4th book in the Donovan Nash series, Donovan Nash ran Eco-Watch, an environmental friendly company on saving the planet. But Nash also had a hidden past under an assumed name and lost a love a couple of years ago. But someone from the past didn't want it hidden and out of the open. He was out for blood and revenge, taunting him along the way. With an eco-twist, everything Nash loved and cared for were under attack and under siege by someone who was out for his blood--friends, family members and even Eco-Watch's vehicles. For Lauren, his estranged wife and mother of his little girl, a DIA analyst headquartered in Europe, she wanted to keep Nash from a safe distance, until she was ready to see him again. From Hawaii to Alaska, and even parts of Europe and Canada, Nash, his wife Lauren, and his team defended them from all angles to prevent an eco-disaster from happening. Lots of action, drama, and an adrenalin rush from start to finish. Hold onto your hats!

This thriller had true potential of being an excellent eco-thriller as well. I loved how it focused on marine science and oceanography for the concept and the plot.  In this thriller, we do get to care about Donovan, his wife and daughter, and his family. We also do get to see him care about his career and the love of the planet, too. I also loved the locations in the USA and Europe to set the scenes with painted scenery.  I didn't like how his former nemesis taunted him with pure evil. I believe that Lauren and Donovan would get back together. This had lots of action, drama, suspense, in a lightning fast pace.
