True Fiction Ian Ludlow Thrillers Book 1 edition by Lee Goldberg Literature Fiction eBooks

True Fiction is a spoof. I thought you should know that right off the bat, since I was a little slow catching on and was really wondering. I might blame that on choosing this book at 2:45 am and the fact it was listed as a thriller, but… maybe I was just slow. So, it’s a spoof, a very funny spoof/thriller. Think Naked Gun meets Jack Reacher meets Kingpin. Yes, True Fiction is replete with low brow humor, over the top sex scenes done for humor, tinfoil hats, sex dolls, cursing, puns and other word play, crude references, and yet more low brow humor. Amazingly enough, despite my awkward description, True Fiction is a really funny and sometimes seriously silly story about a writer for a popular television show - about a cop who’s a plant that “can’t stand crime” - who thought up a really inventive terrorist scenario during a CIA event employing writers for television shows. Who else can think up original and crazy ideas that pull in the audience but those writers?

A few years later, Ian Ludlow writes novels about an (you got it) over-the-top James Bond-type spy who puts women into comas with his lovemaking. Ian's on a book-signing tour when a plane crashes into Waikiki in a scenario that’s too close to Ian’s CIA terrorist plot to be coincidence. What Ian doesn’t know might get him killed, and what he doesn’t know – but he soon will – is that they’re already out to kill him. Not to mention, the audience for his terrorist scenario isn’t the one that he intended. Ian’s the last member of the writers dream team left alive. On the run with a dog walker and a paranoid ex-actor from the hit show, Hollywood and Vine, Ian must stay alive long enough to find out who’s really behind this dastardly plot. If he wants to see the closing credits, Ian must ask himself, “What would Straker do?”

Overall, this was a quirky fun read and I’m glad I chose it for my March Kindle First/First Reads. Recommended for those who want to laugh.

Edited to add an answer I gave to a comment below: I think that the people who found the plot believable did read the book and are referring to the technology, scenarios, and acts of terrorism in the book that are unfortunately too real. While the circumstances, characterization, fighting, and personal actions of the characters are a spoof (well, and also the excerpts from the hero's books), the overarching scenario has scarily believable elements. So, yes, people could find that part of the book believable. That is probably why the author named this True Fiction. And, sorry, I don't know how to put that better. (My comment below seems to have disappeared.)

True Fiction Ian Ludlow Thrillers Book 1 edition by Lee Goldberg Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

This story has the pacing, action and believability of a comic book. I like that the author doesn't take himself too seriously. It allows for the plot to unfold in a nice, fun carefree manner. If you are a stickler for intricate plots, deep character development and totally plausible scenarios even if only by a razor's margin, you probably won't like this story much or at all. If you find fun, absurd movies like the Fast and Furious franchise or John Wick series entertaining, you'll like this story. Although, the actual plot shares more in common with a movie like Enemy of the State than those two movies, there's one moment in the book that may have actually been inspired by one of the more recent Fast and Furious movies. I won't spoil it, but will simply say that thankfully, the scale and absurdity of the book's version is toned down exponentially compared to the film.

There is plenty of profanity and violence in the story along with some strong sexual references. However, I found nothing too tasteless or perverse and some of the references are so exaggerated and over the top, they become laughable, but in a good way. You have to suspend belief quite a few times while reading and elements of cheesiness and cliche pop up from time to time but rather than eliciting an eye roll, it actually adds to the charm. It's a book with a plot that reads like a popcorn action movie. That's the best description I can give it. Thankfully, that made the pace fast and the story interesting enough that it kept me engaged nonstop from start to finish. It starts fast and never slows down, not even during flashbacks or other typically less exciting moments. I read the entire book in one rainy day sitting. For a free First book of the month, True Fiction delivered. It's not perfect but is fun, enjoyable and certainly worth a First selection if you're looking for something light and fun rather than deep and thought provoking. That's about as much as I can share without spoilers.
