Lachlan Fox is back … better than ever … in a roller-coaster action thriller.

Who is Lachlan Fox? Graduate of ADFA. Ex-Navy Clearance Diver. Served in Iraq, East Timor and Afghanistan. International investigative journalist. The right man for the wrong place.

Oil prices are rocketing. Terror attacks have destabilised the global economy. The White House believes the Nigerian oil fields are the key to safeguarding America's future ... but someone else sees them as an opportunity to increase their own power. Travelling from New York to Nigeria, investigative journalist and ex-navy operative Lachlan Fox is hunting the story. He's seen combat action before, but this time it's personal. Wrestling with demons that push him right to the edge and leave him exposed like never before, will Fox uncover the truth in time? Or will his quest for revenge see him go too far?

Wow! Just freaking, WOW!

This book is a fast-paced and breathtaking ride! Character development is well done and you feel the intensity of all the characters. The author nicely blurs the lines between fiction and current events. This is a book that will be hard to put down.

I really like Phelan’s style, and Blood Oil is one of his best

1 January 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle Edition

Blood Oil is the first James Phelan novel I read. I was immediately hooked by his clever adaptation of real world politics combined with a taunt, intelligent spy thriller narrative.

I also like that Phelan as an Australian author has kept his protagonist, Lachlan Fox, Australian. I think it is always great to see hero characters from other nationalities and cultures opposed to the standard white male, ex-military specialist trained American character present in so much of the fiction in this vein. Although, that said, Fox ticks all but one of those characteristics. But he’s still an Aussie.

While this is the third book in the Lachlan Fox series, I had no problem reading it out of order as each story is self-contained.

Like Tom Clancy, we are presented with many characters with many points of view that slowly come together for an exciting climax.

Blood Oil is about how reliant the world is on . . . you guessed it, oil. The U.S. Government is in crisis because of the escalating attacks by terrorist organisations against Nigerian drilling sites in the Niger Delta, threatening global supply.

Phelan has an excellent understanding of world politics and the conditions of life in emerging nations. He portrays this through clever references scattered through his narrative, bringing life to these far-flung locations.

If Phelan had one problem, I think his stories might be too political, and might not appeal to some readers who are more into this genre for its escapism appeal. Not that I mind that at all. I really like Phelan’s style, and Blood Oil is one of his best.
