THE SPEAR AND THE SENTINEL is the second instalment in J. L. Hancock’s Voodoo series, set twelve months after the events of The Hawk Enigma. If you’re drawn to government cover-ups, razor-sharp military tactics, an arsenal of ingenious gadgets, and the unsettling rise of AI, this series is for you.

This is the first techno-thriller I’ve read—but as a long-time fan of thrillers, I wanted to give it a try, and I’m glad I did. THE HAWK ENIGMA is a fast-paced, high-stakes story with compelling characters and plenty of action. In short, it’s an adrenaline rush from start to finish.
