Lt. Alex Chandler and his team of "Notables" have fought in every shadow war and every covert mission too dangerous for regular operatives.
Now one of their own has gone rogue.
In order to preserve the past, safeguard the present, and preserve the future, Alex must stop the rogue agent before he decimates the team.
This book rocks. I love alt history and "special" beings books. The author has captured a great cast of characters, notable historical events, and not mangled them beyond belief - a significant accomplishment in this genre.
I enjoyed every page, each event, and look forward to the next in the series. I strongly recommend this book. As an author, and a narrator of audio books, I have to give this one 5 stars. Excellent work.
The dual timelines running through this novel made it work very well; I'm not sure either one by itself would have held my interest as well as this did. It/they moved very quickly, a big plus for me. Alex Chandler is an excellent character; his personal development in his early years in the beginning of the book was different from that of most novel leads -- and certainly different from the incredibly successful warrior, lover, spy, and general problem-solver into which he quickly evolved.
The Flip of a Switch was a compelling mix of historical fiction and modern espionage with a touch of sci fi thrown in. All of the main characters had depth and personality and the author did a great job making them human and relatable. The modern and historical story arcs were nicely tied together to make the historical context relevant to the modern day intrigue. There were a few threads that were left unanswered that make the reader want to read the next installment. For a first-time author, P.R. DuRhett successfully piqued my interest and I look forward to many more books that follow the Notables Team.
