James Byrne is back touting Desmond Aloysius Limerick “Dez” in Chain Reaction, as he’s on the hunt to jam out as a rockstar when life throws him a curve ball. Confronted by ghosts of missions past, Dez must navigate a gauntlet of mercenaries to uncover the truth of one heinous act.
Dez is not your average hero, and he would hate that moniker. But he’s about to sub in for a buddies rock and roll cover band when a mysterious young lady from his time in Spain reappears. What starts as a trip to rock out turns deadly in an instant, as the newest convention center turns into a horror set with blood being spilled everywhere. Teaming with a budding love tryst, Dez must fight his way to safety while preserving life at all costs.
While battling through lies and deception, Dez works along side the FBI after they uncover that he’s a “Gatekeeper”. Trying to keep his new flame out of the crosshairs, Dez unravels the truth behind crimes decades old that start raining death to keep secrets hidden.
Byrne delivers a death-riddled action adventure highlighting his premier writing creativity. His ability to tie in the beginning to the end while generating unmatched intrigue only makes Dez Limerick that much more impressive. Dez is one of the most likable and intelligent heroes and Byrne captures his aggression and power in a very meticulous fashion. He emphasizes his wit and ability without sidestepping the Gatekeepers mission and draws you in and keeps you guessing at every turn.
