Summary

From USA Today and million-copy best-selling author J. Robert Kennedy.

Will a forgotten weapon and an uncontrollable hate unleash the ultimate war?

A nuclear missile, lost during the Cold War, is now in play - the most public spy swap in history, with a gorgeous agent at the center of international attention, triggers the endgame of a corrupt Soviet colonel's 25-year plan. Pursued across the globe by the Russian authorities, including a brutal Spetsnaz unit, those involved will stop at nothing to deliver their weapon and ensure their payday, regardless of the terrifying consequences.

When Laura Palmer confronts a UNICEF group for trespassing on her Egyptian archaeological dig site, she unwittingly stumbles upon the ultimate weapons deal, and becomes entangled in an international conspiracy that sends her lover, archaeology Professor James Acton, racing to Egypt with the most unlikely of allies, not only to rescue her, but to prevent the start of a holy war that could result in Islam and Christianity wiping each other out.

If you enjoy action-packed thrillers, then don’t miss Brass Monkey, a novel international in scope, certain to offend some, and stimulate debate in others. Brass Monkey, from USA Today and million-copy best-selling author J. Robert Kennedy, pulls no punches in confronting the conflict between two of the world's most powerful, and divergent, religions, and the terrifying possibilities the future may hold if left unchecked.

Broken Monkey

A very disjointed story. I feel the RC Bray spent most of his time reading chapter numbers.
I'll give the next one a go but it could be the end for me if things don't pick up, like character development and less coincidences.

Fantastic thriller with a terrifying plot

This book was brilliantly read by RC Bray as usual - I don't think there are any books he has read that this statement doesn't apply to - however the key thing to note is that if RC picks a book to narrate it must be an amazing story and this book is no exception... The story flows really well and the characters are well defined - you do not necessarily need to read the first book in the series to get to know the characters but I would highly recommend it as that book is brilliant and sets the tone and will give you more depth into each character and their background. The plot is something I hope would never happen but Robert Kennedy isn't afraid to put this frightening and controversial storyline out there. I really don't want to give anything away in this review but if you like thrillers that keep you on the edge, tests a controversial plot with multiple characters spanning a story telling you across the world then this is book for you.

Amazing series

I am beginning to feel this is my favourite series. The author can make you love a character almost instantly and with RC bray narrating it is the perfect partnership. Can’t wait for the next one. Also someone seriously needs to get the film rights for this it would be awesome.
