OverviewRelieved for no longer being framed as one of the world's most wanted terrorists, Natascha has only one wish - to live a normal life with her former bodyguard Nick and their daughter, but her daily routine as part time Marine Biologist for the London aquarium and secretary for an elite security company takes a lethal turn when she takes part in another scientific expedition. This time, her discoveries do not only lead her into a flooded mine underneath a century old abbey, but also to a decades old secret the clerics don't want unravelled. Just when Natascha thinks she is a step ahead of her enemies, she realises that the abbey's secret is only a small piece in a puzzle orchestrated by criminal masterminds - and that her past has caught up with her. Determined, Nick and his friends from EuroSec follow her trail from London to the Aegean Sea back to Monaco and the Mediterranean Sea. To rescue Natascha, they have to solve the puzzle fast, or dark times will be ahead of them.

Table of ContentsReviewsReviewed by Amanda Rofe for Reader's Favorite Michael Gerhartz writes a fast-paced novel with a fascinating and very well orchestrated plot line. There was a cast of international characters which were interesting and intriguing. The main protagonist, Natascha Rehfeld, was strong and feisty which is absolutely essential in a thriller. Her personal story was the thread that held the book together and it was really engaging. The book is quite long but the complex and engaging narrative is good enough to support this. What I liked about the book was the fact that I couldn't predict what was coming next. I found this very refreshing. If you like an action-packed story to really get your teeth into, Dark Times is the one for you. Reviewed by Anne-Marie Reynolds for Reader's Favorite Dark Times by Michael Gerhartz is a thrilling story from start to finish. The very first page hooks you and pulls you headfirst into an adventure that will leave you breathless. Just when you think you've got it all figured out, off you go in another direction, down another path with more clues and more intrigue. This is a fantastic book, really well written with some great characters in it. It is properly paced, with plenty of action and suspense that leave you guessing right to the very end. There's a whole range of emotions in this story and you will struggle to put it down. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and am really looking forward to the next one. Highly recommended for fans of thrillers or those who just want a really good story to lose themselves in.
