Once upon a time, Tracy Whitney was one of the best thieves in the business. Then she settled down and had a child—a beautiful, bright, mischievous boy who was the center of her life. Tracy planned to spend the rest of her days quietly, living anonymously deep in the stunning Colorado mountains, devoted to raising her son. But tragedy forces her to face her greatest nightmare. Now, with nothing left to protect, this superb con artist, jewel thief, computer wizard, and cat burglar returns to the hunt, more dangerous, ruthless, and reckless than ever. The world faces a new terror threat from Group 99, a diverse collection of global hackers intent on the collapse of capitalism and private wealth and the creation of a new world order. When the group turns to violence—kidnapping an American investigative journalist, shooting a British military hostage, and blowing up an international industrialist—the mysterious woman pulling their strings, a wily and wealthy American known only as Althea, becomes the CIA’s most sought criminal. But their only hope of finding her is a woman with a dark and dangerous past of her own. A woman who has also successfully evaded detection by the authorities around the world: Tracy. Convinced that Althea is behind the deadly act that shattered her life, Tracy sets out on a global hunt to flush out her prey. But as she soon discovers, the truth is as elusive as her target. Hampered by corruption, lies, and enemies masked as allies, Tracy will be pushed to the brink, where she must face her darkest demons. All of her experience tells Tracy that the answers are right in front of her—if only she can look at the clues in the right way. Propelled by an unquenchable thirst for revenge, and with the fate of so many resting in her hands, just how reckless will Tracy become when she has nothing left to lose? An addictive tale of espionage, mystery, passion, greed, betrayal, and vengeance that takes you from the beautiful Rocky Mountains to Europe’s oldest and grandest cities, filled with a cast of intriguing characters both new and familiar, Sidney Sheldon’s Reckless is a glamorous thrill ride that will leave you breathless until its shocking end."

Why did Achieng Opiyo write the book ” The colour of the sun “?
Achieng picks the reader with two characters into a wedding picturesque from the isle off to a honeymoon.
Fast forward,Achieng brings the reader to two families breathless situations – one with the way kids grow in the absence of parents,and the other a tag of war with lady mother-in-law coz a kid is yet to be born five years later!
Achieng Opiyo,fit for a collectors item is generous enough with the choice of words that leaves the reader in suspense eager to know what happens next .
The unapologetic Luopean!
By name and origin, Achieng Opiyo is a typical lady from luo land who unapologetically uses names such as Smith,Dior and Ensley for characters that throws the reader to an imaginary world fit for ” Nchi ya kusadikika ” , only to find a Bakari and Mutunga to awaken the reader to be in Kenya .
Then a typical jigsaw ensues that displays the man of the house in the middle to accept mum and wife at the same time in the latter’s house.
Most authors like Chinua Achebe who penned ” Things Fall Apart” , Mariama Ba’ of ” So Long a letter ” use names of major characters and farmilier societal setting for a homestretch reading. Achieng wants you to read and think along to discover what ” The Colour of the Sun “is .
A clean read of the book will not only define what the book is is all about,but will explain Achieng Opiyo’s mind of a prolific writer ✍️ in the making .

I finished the book and I did love it
The simple style of writing… I personally like books that do not spend too much time on description and this book offered that. There was a lot of drama and I couldn’t tell what the next chapter or page will give
Downside:
There was a lot of drama which is good…but most of it was non explained.. well.. e.g the twins issue… but this could be because I am a logical person by nature
Some parts were medically incorrect or impossible… like being alive a fter various bullets were lodged in your brain…. or a black person having green eyes

This rollercoaster is a book you all deserve to read. Grab a copy and enjoy the read.
