Customer Reviews

One man's relentless downward spiral into oblivion.

The Domino Principle by Adam Kennedy is a fast paced thrill ride of a book. The main character Roy Tucker provides the narration. As the story begins, Roy is serving a twenty year sentence for murder in an Indiana state prison. One day, not much different from any other, Roy is visited by a mysterious stranger, Marvin Tagge, who has the power to set Roy free in exchange for services to be revealed later. We soon learn that Tagge works for a secret, albeit powerful, organization and it's Roy's skill as an expert marksman the organization covets. As the narrative unfolds, Roy finds he has metaphorically made a bargain with the devil and that any and all attempts to extricate himself are met with overwhelming force. Try as he might to free himself, Roy becomes a helpless pawn in a sinister assassination plot. Author Adam Kennedy has done a great job in depicting the nightmarish plight of an individual who has lost all control over his own destiny. A compelling page turner of a novel. Highly recommended.
