About The Book

Publication Date: October 4, 2022

After a 200-day suspension, all that Sergeant Adam Jennings wanted was a win on his return to the Global Investigation Bureau (GIB). But when a simple warehouse fire begins to look more like a homicide investigation, he is forced to watch as the entire case begins to unravel, slowly revealing the dark underbelly of a world that should not exist. Saddled with an unwanted new partner, and a tarnished reputation, Jens is forced to tread a thin line between right and wrong as he tries to discover just what the truth really is.

The Review

Author Jonny Thompson takes readers on a futuristic journey with Adam Jennings, a disgraced sergeant with the Global Investigations Bureau. He’s fresh off a suspension with a less-than-cheerful attitude.

Ash and Sun takes place after World War III and the Silent Death, together taking out 62 percent of the global population. In a time when people’s lives are measured in days rather than years, and technological advances have reached new levels, crime still happens.

Jennings and his new partner, Ali, are tasked with investigating a warehouse fire that they suspect is a homicide. Finding a link between the warehouse and the mayor shatters any hopes Jennings has of keeping a low profile.

The deeper they go into the investigation, the more complicated it gets. Soon, they discover information that will rock the city if they live long enough to release it.

As the author’s debut novel, Ash and Sun contains plenty of adventures. Although there is an indication that a second novel is in the works, the story has a natural conclusion without an abrupt cliffhanger. Part science fiction, part police procedural, Ash and Sun delivers a unique reading experience.

REVIEW AUTHOR

Amy Wilson
Amy Wilson
My name is Amy W., and I am a book addict. I will never forget the day I came home from junior high school to find my mom waiting for me with one of the Harlequin novels from my stash. As she was gearing up for the "you shouldn't be reading this" lecture, I told her the characters get married in the end. I'm just glad she didn't find the Bertrice Small book hidden in my closet. I have diverse reading tastes, evident by the wide array of genres on my Kindle. As I made the transition to an e-reader, I found myself worrying that something could happen to it. As a result, I am now the proud owner of four Kindles -- all different kinds, but plenty of back-ups! "Fifty Shades of Grey" gets high marks on my favorites list -- not for character development or dialogue (definitely not!), but because it blazed new ground for those of us who believe provocative fiction is more than just an explicit cover. Sylvia Day, Lexie Blake, and Kristin Hannah are some of my favorite authors. Speaking of diverse tastes, I also enjoy Dean Koontz, Iris Johansen, and J.A. Konrath. I’m always ready to discover new-to-me authors, especially when I toss in a palate cleanser that is much different than what I would normally read. Give me something with a well-defined storyline, add some suspense (or spice), and I am a happy reader. Give me a happily ever after, and I am downright giddy.
