Infliction Point: A Zach Axton Thriller (The Zach Axton Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Mark Hacker (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars (272)

A spiraling agent with unparalleled skills. A murderer with enhanced intelligence. Who is the hunter… and who is the prey?

Zach Axton is in a dark place. After the brutal murder of the love of his life, the haunted FBI agent is one border collie away from cashing in his chips. But he’s grudgingly pulled back into action when a prisoner in an experimental government program designed to increase brain functioning escapes in a violent and bloody confrontation.

Teaming up with his former partner and a beautiful assistant district attorney, Axton uses his specialized skills in hunting serial killers to track down the brilliant psychopath. But the secret to his success in knowing the minds of murderers could be the very thing that leads him to his own destruction…

Can this skilled operative take down a man who is faster, smarter, and more dangerous before the city of Austin is destroyed? Before he is destroyed?

Infliction Point is the cinematic first book in the Zach Axton thriller series. If you like flawed characters with heart, fast-paced action, and unputdownable drama, then you’ll devour Mark Hacker’s riveting adventure.

Review

"Infliction Point was a thriller that had me at the edge of my seat. I felt similar to how I did when I read Blake Crouch's sci-fi books blended with The Terminal List. I easily could see this as a film or tv series, it really was suspenseful." -Netgalley Review

    5.0 out of 5 stars A psychological thriller made for the screen
    Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    A murderer is “let off the hook” because of mental deficiencies by a lenient judge. This catapults our story, where a former FBI Agent, a current US Senator, a top neuroscientist, and many others become tangled in the web of this one murder and its consequences.

    Zach Axton is a reluctant hero, at turns funny with quick quips, and at others fierce and driven. Like all good heroes, he has his demons to exorcise. When he gets back into the game, all bets are off, especially as he faces off with Senator Bradley, whose dubious motives are on full display at every step. And you can’t read this without mentioning Koko, the beloved Border Collie who steals every scene she’s in.

    I loved how quickly this novel established its story, but the real hook for me is the premise of brain enhancement—of a killer in Charlie Moore, deemed incapable of controlling his own actions, now given a supercharged shot of brainpower. Be careful what you wish for. Within a tightly-packed thriller, this psychological aspect makes you wonder where the state of biological advances will take us into the future, and what frightening unintended consequences could result.

    This book was made for a movie—or better yet, a TV series. So many scenes read like intense film moments, with Hacker transporting the reader there. I’m anxiously awaiting the next Zach Axton thriller, and plan on following Hacker’s career closely from here on out.

    Good: The story and antagonist were interesting, seeing the villain who is a genius beyond human ability lose control due to very human issues.
    Bad: Typos galore and a constant need to have characters talk about how amazing the main character is.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Rollercoaster Ride of Grief, Grit, and Enhanced Brainpower
    Reviewed in Italy on July 5, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I just finished "Infliction Point" by Mark Hacker, and wow, what a ride! This Zach Axton thriller had me hooked from the first page.
    Hacker's background as a punch-up writer for major studios shines through in the dialogue. It's sharp, witty, and often darkly humorous, even in the most intense moments. The banter between Zach and his friend Leon had me chuckling despite the grim circumstances.
    What grabbed me was Zach himself. Here's a guy who's hit rock bottom, drowning his sorrows in beer by a dirty lake, yet you can't help but root for him. His struggle with grief and the way he slowly claws his way back into action felt real and relatable.
    The plot moves at breakneck speed, with enough twists to keep you guessing. The escaped prisoner with enhanced brain function is a great sci-fi touch that adds an extra layer of intrigue to the standard thriller formula.
    Some of the violence was a bit intense for my taste, but it fits the story and never feels gratuitous. And while the subject matter is dark, Hacker manages to inject enough humor to keep it from becoming overwhelming.
    One thing that impressed me was the level of research that went into this book. The details about FBI procedures and the science behind the brain enhancement program felt spot-on and added much authenticity to the story.
    If you're a fan of fast-paced thrillers with a dash of sci-fi and a troubled but likable protagonist, "Infliction Point" is worth picking up. I'm already looking forward to Zach Axton's next adventure!

    "Infliction Point" kicks off the gripping Zach Axton thriller series, offering a cinematic tale of flawed characters, heart-pounding action, and irresistible suspense by Mark Hacker. Zach Axton finds himself in a dark place following the tragic murder of his beloved. The haunted FBI agent contemplates leaving it all behind until he's reluctantly drawn back into action. A violent escape by a prisoner from an experimental government program, aimed at enhancing intelligence, forces Axton back into the hunt.
    Teamed up once again with his former partner and a captivating assistant district attorney, Axton employs his exceptional skills in tracking serial killers to pursue the cunning psychopath. Yet, his profound understanding of criminal minds could become his own undoing. As the skilled operative races against time to stop a man who is faster, smarter, and deadlier, Austin hangs in the balance. Can Axton survive this showdown before it consumes him and the city? Read to know what happened next. It's an incredibly gripping journey that kept me emotionally engaged with its unexpected twists and turns. Characters that are round, dialogue that tastes real. I really enjoyed the this book. You should read them, no disappointments. I highly recommend it.
