Warning Light by David Ricciardi Book Review
The lowdown from Goodreads
Publication Date April 17, 2018
When a commercial aircraft makes an emergency landing at an Iranian military base, it looks like a crisis has been narrowly avoided. But for undercover intelligence analyst Zac Miller, the CIA-staged crash landing is the only part of his assignment that goes right.
What was supposed to be a simple surveillance mission quickly heads south when the Iranians apprehend the smooth-talking American. Never trained to be a field operative, Zac’s in over his head, especially when it turns out escaping from captivity is only the beginning of his problems. On the run across Europe from both Iranian agents and Western authorities who are convinced he’s defected, Zac finds himself fighting for his life, with no guarantee he’ll even have one to go back to…
Warning Light by David Ricciardi Book Review
Full transparency here, I was hesitant to take on this book for review. It is completely outside my normal thriller wheelhouse. But that’s the thing about reading outside of your comfort zone, I have a new favorite genre! A new author that I’ll absolutely read more from!
Upon Zac’s capture and imprisonment in Iran which happens within the first few pages, I was completely sucked in. Warning Light is one heck of a nail-biter. With every page turned, your heart is racing as Zac runs for his life through the harsh terrain of Iran, boating his way to Dubai with the enemy never far behind. Ricciardi’s pacing is utterly perfect and I couldn’t get enough. Gosh, I hope there are more Zac Miller books coming soon!
THE VERDICT
If you think CIA / Military types of thrillers aren’t your thing, then I beg you to give Warning Light a try!! You will not be disappointed! Solid 5 stars from me. Hitting the shelves 4/17/18

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: DAVID RICCIARDI
A keen outdoorsman, David Ricciardi incorporated many personal experiences into Warning Light. He’s backpacked through the mountains of the western United States and Alaska, received extensive training from law-enforcement and US special operations personnel, and once woke up for a 2 AM watch aboard a sailboat only to discover that it was headed the wrong way through the Atlantic sea lanes in heavy weather, with one of the crew suffering from hypothermia. In addition to being an avid sailor, David is also a certified scuba rescue diver and a former ski instructor. Warning Light is his first novel.
