Summary

Michael Sloan, co-creator of the classic 1980s TV show The Equalizer—now reimagined in a series starring Queen Latifah—presents an original story of the mysterious, former covert intelligence officer who helps desperate people who are in need of his unique and deadly skills.

“Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer.”

Robert McCall is a former covert operations officer for the CIA who tries to atone for past sins by offering, free of charge, his services as a protector, an investigator, and a troubleshooter—often literally. Aided by a group of sometimes-mysterious contacts, some of whom date back to his spying days, McCall traverses the streets of New York City, visiting justice upon those who prey upon the weak.

A woman finds herself the target of a Chechen nightclub owner. The club is actually a front for an elite assassination service—run by an old enemy of McCall’s. To save his client’s life, the Equalizer is going to have to confront the sins of his past…

Critic reviews

“[In] this intense thriller...even the Equalizer might have his hands full. Sloan is a talented writer, and one can only hope there are more Equalizer novels in the future.” —Booklist

“Michael Sloan is a creative force to be reckoned with.” —William Shatner

“Michael Sloan's book, The Equalizer, is one of the best novels I have read in years. I was very drawn into the hero's backstory and what he ends up doing in New York City. The Equalizer is very much a hero for today's world. Jack Reacher make room, Robert McCall is in town.” —Karl Moore, author of The Postmoderns

A long story.

I found this okay but at times the story was crossing too many avenues and lines. I felt it would have been better if it was 4hrs shorter.

Too Many characters

There’s a lot of characters and the plot time line jumps about a lot and can be hard to follow at times.

Good fun yarn

If you’re a Reacher fan this might be for you.
Lots of action and z Mach bravado.

Not for Me

I couldn't say why but I just didn't really enjoy this book. Ended up being a bit of a drag..

Brilliant

Four novels in 1. Fast paced but detailed and intriguing. Maybe a bit too many character names to keep track off but I really enjoyed it.

Epic storyline

Let down by too many repeat descriptions of products, which began to sound more like advertising.

Terrible pronunciation.

Spoiled by the narrator's pronunciation of certain words, for example "niche" as "nitch" . Annoying.
