 Must-read thriller

Check Point is easy to read and understand. I think this a must-read thriller about two women who were found murdered and two enemy entities are looking for answers. It’s very interesting and it will have you on edge.

It felt a little tedious reading a lot of the bible stuff as I am not in any way a believer except to say the good principles of any religion and fellowship is a good thing. Yes we all have a personal responsibility to take care of the planet even if it feels hopeless. I absolutely loved the new ten commandment or a way to live in society. That was very well written.

I guess I am not the only who has always had contradicting thoughts about the existence of God and the difference about religion and spirituality. After reading this book, “A beginner’s guide to Skepticism”, most of my questions were answered.

Due to the central role of religion, spirituality and divinity play in our lives, it is a great book to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Next time we go somewhere together’ – a searing Prequel for Yael Lavi’s adventures
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2023
Israeli author Maor Kohn earned his PhD in Geography and Environment and is on the faculties of Bar-Ilan University and the Open University of Israel. While he is best known for his Emmy award-winning screenwriting (‘Tehran’), he continues his excellent Yael Lavie novel series with a prequel – THE LAST HUNT, translated from the Hebrew by Noelle Canin.

Kohn opens his story in 1942 in Czechoslovakia and his prose creates an atmosphere: ‘The Theresienstadt Concentration Camp, a fortress built at the end of the 18th century by the King of Bohemia, Joseph II, was surrounded by a stone wall, moats and watchtowers – barracks for SS soldiers and death camps for Czechoslovakian and German Jews…’ Going back and forth in time from that period to 1999 the foundation for ISA agent and criminologist Yael Lavie is established, and the author condenses the plot as follows: ‘Fresh out of the academy, newly appointed Inspector Yael Lavie is called to an unusual murder scene in the rural outback of the West Bank. What starts as one murder quickly turns into a killing spree across one of the most controversial military zones on Earth. Only Yael and her allies can hope to stop the hunt with minimum casualties. The more Yael digs into the case, the more questions she uncovers. Why were the victims tortured before they were murdered? Could the cause truly be just a local gang war, or is there a darker personal motive behind the killings? And how do they all relate to a series of cold murders, over half a century old? Yael and her team put everything on the line, but the killer is always one step ahead. Will they manage to hunt him down in time or will they become the hunted themselves?’

Creating this Prequel to his series Maor Kohn confirms the promise of a writer who has mastered the art of creating irresistible espionage thrillers based on historical facts – re-imagined. This is a thoroughly satisfying read and very highly recommended.

The Last Hunt by Maor Kohn is a thriller that will keep you up turning pages long into the night. Yael Levis is a protagonist that you find yourself rooting for. The plot is full if unexpected twists and is adventurous and entertaining. One question must be answered: will the hunter become the hunted?

Young and fresh out of school Yael faces the extraordinarily difficult task of solving multiple murders in the lawless no man’s land of Jordan Valley. This is the perfect prequel, it was so exciting not only to hear another story surrounding Yael but also to learn so much more and dive deeper into the character itself. The mystery aspect of the book left me on the edge of my seat!

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2023
One thing I particularly enjoyed about this book was the author’s attention to detail. The geopolitical aspects of the story felt authentic and well-researched, which added an extra layer of depth to the plot. Kohn’s writing style was engaging and easy to follow, and I appreciated the way he built tension and suspense throughout the story. Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys thrillers or action-packed stories. It’s a great read, and I look forward to seeing what Kohn comes up with next. In addition to the thrilling plot and well-developed characters, I also appreciated the way this book explored complex themes such as terrorism, diplomacy, and the ethics of warfare. Kohn’s nuanced approach to these issues made the story feel all the more relevant and thought-provoking. Moreover, the author’s attention to detail extended beyond the geopolitical aspects of the story. The book was also well-researched when it came to the technical details of weapons, vehicles, and other aspects of the military, which added to the book’s authenticity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Action Packed
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2023
An action packed book that plunges the reader right into the heart of it. With constant suspense, the author Maor Kohn has successfully written this book for it to be read in one night. A gripping and realistic novel that captivates the readers attention from the very start. The novel orientates itself at the time of 1983 in a full out war between Iraq and Iran. In which an agent and criminologist named, Yael Lavie, is called in to investigate a set of cybersecurity attacks, that undoubtly has led to the exposure of governments and the theft of millions of dollars from banks. With a team that is formed, Yael works together with them to try and bring justice to – The Assyrian. A man or shadow that only leaves breadcrumbs of political turmoil. However, the closer that Yael feels she is about to trap him in a corner, the Assyrian slips away.
A well written novel that made it hard for me to sleep at night, because I could not put it down. The mixture of tension, constant action and being on the edge of my seat, is a novel that truly delivers the idea of what a thriller action book should be. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and it is 100% in my top 3 books read. Therefore it deserves 5 starts from me!

5.0 out of 5 stars The author is not kidding in this fast action-packed thriller
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2023
I was happy to read this book because the title reminded me of a force of Peacekeepers from another work of fiction which is very dear to me. Well, they are nothing alike, but I still like this book anyway. Sometimes, when we are attracted to something by means of association, there is a reason for it. Anyway, this novel starts by immersing the reader right into the action. The author is not kidding in this fast action-packed thriller.
Yael Lavie is an ISA agent and criminologist. She lost her husband and everything is personal in her fight against the criminals from that day on. She has her team and they are not quitting. They will find out who stole millions from the banks, who is leading terrorists, and who is planning to destroy the world they know.
And I like her nemesis, the Assyrian. The name sounds very powerful and ominous, and that is for a long time everything Yael and her team knows about him. He is a creature of shadows. A perfect enemy, really.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read hyper-realistic espionage thriller.
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2023
From Apple TV’s TEHRAN co-creator, Emmy award-winner Maor Kohn’s debut novel THE PEACEKEEPER delivers a refreshing excitement to this tired old genre and manages to deliver some unexpected thrills.

In summarizing the synopsis, we find Yael Lavie, an ISA agent, and criminologist, who has seen more than her fair share of death and misery in her long career. However, her profession now takes on a much deeper, emotional meaning after losing her husband in a bomb attack. Her instincts take over when she is asked to investigate a series of cybersecurity attacks that expose various governments, and everything points to one man – The Assyrian. The Assyrian is a shadow, traveling unobserved from one location to the next, creating havoc and causing political upheaval in his wake. Yael and her team need to work together with both allies and foes in order to bring him to justice before he and his army of followers can deliver another horrible blow to the war-torn region. On the other hand, the closer she gets to The Assyrian, the more he seems to slide away from her. And the longer she continues to follow him, the more she gets the feeling that she is the one who is being pursued…

A brilliant mix of great storytelling, great action, and suspense, it only spoon-feeds the reader bits about the plot all the way through but it’s gripping from start to finish. Expertly blending genre formula, The Peacekeeper is an action thriller that delivers – and then some. Highly recommended and a well-deserved five stars from me. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
