The Hawk Enigma : A Military Techno thriller by J.L. Hancock, is the first book in the new "The Voodoo" Series and I never thought I would read a book with this title and with this description. . . . . . However, I can honestly say " Don't judge the book by it's cover!"

The Hawk Enigma was very fast-paced and full of action throughout that will have you hooked from the very beginning. I so enjoyed the military angle and the cutting-edge technology which lead to excellent high-stakes missions which were excellent, they had me sitting on the edge of my seat and I could not turn the pages over quick enough! .

We meet Voodoo, who is a very gifted military technician, But struggles with so many harrowing memories of war and the emptiness that comes with loss and sadness. However, how Voodoo copes, he throws himself into everything especially work! and he works for the secretive military research organisation, which leads him no time for anything else in his life. . . . . . So it is work, work, eat, sleep and then more work! Then, one night Voodoo heard a voice he hasn't heard in a long time, it is a familiar voice from his past which interrupts his recurring nightmares with a cryptic prophecy. 🤔 🥹

At the very same time, and in Japan, two famous world-renowned scientists go missing and along with them the secrets of a powerful form of artificial intelligence called the “God Algorithm.”

What is or who is the “God Algorithm.” 🥹

Big Thank you to Braveship Books and especially J.L. Hancock the author.

This was a strong start to the Voodoo series, it had that element that I was looking for and was engaged with what was happening. I enjoyed this as a opening chapter and am excited to read more in this universe. It uses the thriller element perfectly and enjoyed the overall feel of this and how the world was used. The characters had that overall feel that I was wanting and enjoyed the concept. J.L. Hancock wrote this well and was engaged from the first page.

I made it about halfway through The Hawk Enigma before deciding to put it down. The premise is strong and I can see why a lot of readers really enjoy it, the mix of tech, espionage, and action has a lot of promise. The writing is clear, and the technical details feel well-researched, which adds to the authenticity. That said, it just didn’t fully hold my attention. The pacing felt uneven, and while the plot had interesting threads, I struggled to connect with the characters enough to stay invested. By the halfway point, I realized I wasn’t eager to pick it back up, so I decided to DNF. Overall, I’d still recommend it to readers who love tech-heavy thrillers with a military/espionage vibe, it just wasn’t quite the right fit for me.
