Hunting the Wrecking Crew: Eric Stone Book One Kindle Edition

by Nick Albert (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars (76)
Hidden behind the walls of power, the corrupt and materialistic businesses, and the convenient death of every inconvenient whistle-blower, hides a secret organisation called the Wrecking Crew. For years they have been manipulating businesses and empowering Governments. They don’t care what they do or how they do it, as long as the price is right – but this time they have gone too far. Now one man is on a mission to stop them.
Eric Stone is trustworthy, easy-going and friendly – he’s your all-round nice guy. His first rule in life was always “Don’t get involved,” but when he discovers the shocking truth behind his friend’s death, he feels compelled to act.
Stone is no stranger to risk, but the Wrecking Crew is the most dangerous adversary anyone has ever faced. Soon he and his friends are dragged into a desperate race for survival, where no one can be trusted. Can Eric Stone destroy the Wrecking Crew, or will he become their next victim?

Reviews
"Kept me on the edge of my seat. I didn't want to put it down. It was long enough so that I could get my teeth into it. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it."

"I found "Wrecking Crew" to be a captivating mystery novel. After a blunt start, putting me, as a reader, right into the middle of action and characters, the story line was very well developed all throughout the book. It was a pleasure to read about a hero, as Eric proved to be, to read about his adventures while investigating a mysterious death and as well, to find something that could not be missed to make the book very enjoyable to read, a love story. I have really enjoyed reading this book, and I believe as a fan of the kind, it is not always easy for me to say this about books."

"Wrecking Crew is awesome! I read a lot of books but this one stood out as one of the very best. It is about a secret group of undesirables who are sent out to rid England of problems that threaten their government or political agendas. The group has an assassin, a tech geek, some muscle, etc. Let's just say that they all have unique abilities that make them valuable assets to their team and a giant threat to anyone on their list. However they choose to mess with the wrong guy, and now his friends are hunting them. I don't want to give away too much but I will say that this book is filled with action, the story is excellent and the writing quality is superb."

"Great story. Well written, well researched and sufficiently good that I'll be looking for other works by this author.
Different enough from the standard novel that it was, well, "novel"."

"It is the best mystery/thriller/suspense book I have read in a long, long time. It has pretty much everything that makes me jump for joy! A great story, wonderfully written characters, humor, a bit of a love story, and most of all, it keeps you on your toes the whole time! I absolutely loved this book! Loved it, and highly recommend it!"

Nick Albert was born in England and raised in a Royal Air Force family. After leaving College he worked in retail management for several years before moving into financial services where he quickly progressed through the ranks to become a training consultant. As a very passionate and reasonably talented sportsman, Nick had always wanted to use his training skills towards creating a parallel career, so in the mid 1980's he qualified and began coaching sport professionally. After a health scare in 2003 and in search of a simpler life, he and his wife Lesley, cashed in their investments, sold their home and bought a rundown farmhouse in the rural west of Ireland - a country they had never before even visited. With little money or experience and armed only with a do-it-yourself manual, they set about renovating their new home, where they now live happily alongside a flock of chickens, two ducks and several unruly, but delightful dogs.

In 2017 Nick was signed to Ant Press to write a series of humorous memoirs about his life in rural Ireland. Fresh Eggs and Dog Beds (book one) was published in September 2017 and soon became an Amazon bestseller. Book two in the series was published on 1st June 2018 and book 3 in August 2019 and book 4 arrived in April 2021. All four books have received multiple five-star reviews.

    I’ve read all Nick Albert’s memoirs and enjoyed them immensely, so when I saw he’d written a novel, I thought I’d give it a try. I’m so pleased I did. This is a terrific rollercoaster action thriller that had me glued to my kindle. The cast of characters is great and the good guys are well-rounded, real people the reader can empathise with and root for. There are also some very nasty baddies involved, who are also all too believable and real as well. The plot is fast-paced, exciting and well thought-through. I especially enjoyed the scenes where the hero uses his karate to down the enemies. Nick Albert has qualifications in martial arts himself, so he knows what he’s talking about and it was all very authentic. Altogether a great read which I can recommend highly to readers who enjoy thrillers with plenty of action but without overdoing the grisly description. I loved it and really hope there will be another Eric Stone novel. It has the makings of an excellent series!

    Nick Albert has written a very intriguing plot line and developed believable characters in Hunting The Wrecking Crew. With a story told from the point of view of both sides of the plot, the reader is allowed the opportunity to visualize the characters' personalities, actions, and, thought processes. The only thing I didn't like was the obvious foreshadowing. It wasn't needed. I do recommend reading the book if you enjoy mystery and intrigue.

    I don't normally read thrillers. But I'd read Fresh Eggs and Dog Beds by this author, and loved it, so decided to try out one of his other books. I was hooked from the first page, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely recommended.

    I read this book after I read his memoir. I enjoyed his memoir and thought that his writing in this genre would not be as good, however I was wrong. This was an amazing story and a very possible scenario in our current cycle of bizarre politicians and the abuse of power. Just be sure, you start in the afternoon instead of just before you go to sleep. I started reading and literally did not put it down until I saw daylight peaking through the blinds.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 20, 2016

    The Wrecking Crew was an organization first employed by the Government to carry out the
    "dirty tricks" they couldn't be seen to be involved with. Then the Crew expanded their business
    under their sadistic and ruthless leader, The Fixer. They allowed themselves to be hired by anyone
    with another money to carry out threats, blackmail and even murder.

    When their latest target, Charles Rathbone, commits suicide, his best fried Eric Stone becomes involved.
    Eric is a martial arts expert and with the help of his ex-cop friend, Carter, he sets out to discover who is behind
    the Crew. They both intend to destroy the organization - even if it means killing off its members.

    I liked the characters, including the computer hacker "the Cat Woman", and it was nice to see the baddies get
    their come-uppance. I did think that as a 39 year old, good looking man with a history of many girlfriends (however
    casual) that Eric's reaction to the beautiful Linda was a bit unbelievable - he acted like a love-struck teenager.
    Also I could personally have done with less of the sex and "I love you too" bits!

    The dirty tricks that the Crew carried out were very plausible - especially, sadly, the planting of porn, etc. on
    somebody's computer - though it is good to remember "what goes around, comes around"!

    I did guess the ending, but still thought this was a good read and I would recommend it. There were only a few
    typos, plenty of action and no unnecessary foul language.
