A conspiracy so big, it takes a microscope to see it.

Beer, redheads, and politics... Jackson Quick should have known better. First, he trusted a Texas politician. Then he fell for a leggy woman. Worst of all, he drank a beer that tasted funny.

Now, he's running for his life and trying to save the world.

When Quick is kidnapped and interrogated about the encrypted tech he’s been charged by his powerful boss to deliver, he has no idea it's connected to a missing research scientist on the verge of an earth-shaking breakthrough. Nor is he aware of its proximity to the attempted assassination of a political candidate.

In order to stop the unthinkable from becoming a reality, he'll have to piece the mystery together.

Allegiance is book one the trilogy of Jackson Quick Sci-Fi Adventures and introduces the unwitting hero with a secret past and a penchant for uncovering the truth. It's perfect for readers of Michael Crichton, Pierce Brown, and John Scalzi.

"Abrahams has a writing style that is intense, engaging, and thorough down to the very last detail...a story that will kidnap your attention and torture you with suspense." --The Kindle Book Review

Just when you think you have it all figured out . . .

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2021

Jackson Quick is a little slow. When it comes to women, one in particular, poor Jackson loses again. When it comes to plots, he has it all figured out, but he's as wrong as he

Nope, sorry, you'll have to find out for yourself. Don't look to me for help. I had it all wrong. The characters are dark, dingy, political types who do and say anything to advance themselves or their causes. You know the type. You don't? You haven't been paying attention? Wow. The last several years must have had you standing on your head trying to see the whole picture. Kinda like this storyline. By the time I finished this book, I was twisted into the Dead Dog yoga pose. Or something. I'm hoping for more clarification in the next book in this series.

The characters and storyline were really impressive. I had it all figured out several times before the author brought it back on track. A different track than I was expecting, but on a track anyway. Political action adventure for sure!

This is a good series; I've already read the next one and am waiting for the third one to come out. Mr. Abrahams is a good writer and even though some of the content is somewhat difficult to understand, he does a good job of breaking it down and explaining it. There is a lot of action. Sometimes a book's main character just does a lot of stupid things and gets himself in trouble. Jackson Quick gets in a lot of trouble but it isn't necessarily from actions that would cause you to think no one would be that stupid. My only complaint about the book is a little "nit-picky"; the further you go the more typographical and grammatical errors you see. A bit better proofing and editing would be good. But still, I recommend the book.

A wickedly intelligent, breathtaking thriller

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

There’s a lot to like about Tom Abrahams’ recent release—beyond “Beer, Redheads, And Politics.” Sizzling storyline, snappy dialogue and fiercely intelligent twists are just a few of the elements that lift Allegiance out of the vast political thriller muck and establish Abrahams as one of my favorite authors.

Allegiance pits underdog, Jackson Quick, against a powerful cartel of Texas politicians, oil barons and multinational interest groups, in a brutal, high-octane cat and mouse game played out across the southwest United States. Abrahams quickly turns Quick’s comfortable, Texas lifestyle upside down, tossing him into the middle of a complicated conspiracy with the potential to bring the Oil Industry to its knees. Paired involuntarily with one of Abrahams’ most brilliantly notorious characters, Sir Spencer, Quick reluctantly embarks on a deadly mission to uncover the truth about his boss, the Governor of Texas.

Nothing is what it seems in this story, each situation and scenario shifting with a mercurial precision that will leave the reader stunned. The result is nothing short of a wickedly intelligent, breathtaking thriller.

Not bad for a second book, I guess, but the action is akin to the action movies I so detest because they're so unbelievable. I enjoyed reading about the places in Texas with which I am familiar, but as a whole the story didn't gel.

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2016

A good start to this suspense series with one lucky devil and enough intrigue to carry the day! Protagonist sums it up nicely 18% in when he takes a mental inventory "I was kidnapped; I was interrogated and let go; I'm being stalked; ...I've been complicit in something treasonous by delivering iPods around the world: my girlfriend may be cheating on me; and I am busy chasing the invisible son of a secessionist sniper" (whew!) Lots of moving parts to the plot and plenty of striking characters like the British 'Saint' that had me breezing through this brief book at a rapid-fire clip. Good book and I did enjoy!

Jackson Quick is an aid to the governor of Texas. He unwittingly stumbles into a political conspiracy. Everywhere he goes seeking answers folks get killed. It is hard to tell the good guys from the bad.

Abrahams first novel in the Jackson Quick Adventure series, Allegiance, introduces us to a cast of characters that are not at all as they seem. A very cleverly written mystery with multiple layers that provides surprises at every turn of the page.

If you like to read about corrupt politicians, hired assassins, loyalty and betrayal, along with a news reporter thirsty for a juicy story, then this is the book for you. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

5 out of 5 stars.

Well written political action and adventure story.

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2021

Verified Purchase

The prose is tight and well thought out for the most part. The section where Quicks father was teaching him to shoot a 22 rifle was a bit humorous. Sounded as though he was shooting a Mosin-Nagant. If like most of us today you believe politics and politicians are rotten to the core you will like this story. Greed, lust for power and wealth. It drives the real ones and the fictional ones.

Great Political Thriller!

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed this book (and the other two in the series) but the beginning got bogged down a bit with tiny details. As the story went on, though, Abrahams spent less time on the minutiae and more time on the plot which was loaded with twists and turns. If you liked this story, read the last two books. You'll enjoy them!

What a surprise

Reviewed in Canada on November 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

When I started the book, I wasn't expecting much.

Without giving anything away, I will say the story starts running out of the gate and doesn't stop till the end. Though the story is complete by the end, the conclusion is done in such a way that you have to buy the second book in the series. Which I did.

I highly recommend anyone to read it.

I felt the main character was true and I got caught up with wanting things to work out for him.
