It’s 1988, and secrets that were buried in the jungles of Vietnam twenty years earlier are starting to re-emerge.
David “Kick” Tacker is a Canadian-born—but American-made—stone-cold killer, and is barely holding his psyche together; shattered by years of war and violence. He fought in MACV-SOG’s secret war in Vietnam until there was no more war to be made, and then sustained himself with clandestine work around the world.
Now living in Vancouver, Kick has one goal holding him together: to finally expose Canada’s covert involvement in the Vietnam War before those dark secrets are hidden forever.
With the help a local reporter and his Agency handlers, Kick races to make the story public, all while being pursued by a mysterious assassin and their team.
The War Machine takes us from the savage jungles of the Vietnam War to its explosive climax in the seedy back streets of Vancouver, where Kick will either get the story to print, or die in the battle to expose the truth.
"Layla" by Colleen Hoover for $7.19
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover comes a novel that explores life after tragedy and the enduring spirit of love. | Learn more

    The story is a gripping dive into the shadowy aftermath of the Vietnam War, but it’s not your typical war story. Instead, Levy crafts a tense, psychological thriller that bridges the gap between the brutal jungles of Vietnam and the equally treacherous urban jungle of Vancouver.
    The pacing of the novel is intense, and relentless. Levy doesn’t give the reader much room to breathe, which is fitting given the subject matter. The flashbacks to the war are visceral, pulling you into the chaos and confusion of combat, while the present-day scenes in Vancouver feel like a race against time, with danger lurking around every corner.
    Levy’s writing style is sharp and unflinching. There’s a rawness to the prose that suits the story, making it feel authentic and immediate. However, this intensity might not be for everyone. The relentless pace and the constant sense of impending doom can be overwhelming, but for those who enjoy a deep, psychological dive, it’s a perfect match.

    While The War Machine is a work of fiction, it brings to light some of the more political and financial acts of war. It also gets you thinking about what the government doesn't tell you and how that affects democracy and our freedom.

    However, even if you push that aside, what is left is an amazing thriller. Barry Levy writes a tale of suspense, action, and intrigue that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

    This a must-read for anyone interested in war stories, action, fight scenes, spy novels, or conspiracies.

    The main character is complex and introduces the reader to a part of history that needs a light brightly shone upon it. I hope there’s more “Kick” tales in the future!

    I was lucky enough to read an ARC of this book and it’s phenomenal. From the moment I started reading The War Machine I was completely drawn in. What was incredibly impressive to me is how much research and detail he has put into this book. It’s emotional and gripping. Definitely read this novel. It’s fantastic.

    The War Machine, written by Barry Levy, is a stimulating war fiction novel with thriller moments. It starts off slow, but in a way that builds the tension. That tension was what made me keep reading the novel. You never know what is going to happen until you keep reading. Barry Levy has a way of transitioning from flashbacks to the present. I like that this novel gives you a bit of entailment when it comes to the government not letting citizens know the things they need to know. Kick as a main character is very intriguing, especially with all he has been through and would go through. Not to mention the side characters that readers will meet in this novel brought a lot to this novel. There were some funny moments in the novel that I enjoyed. All in all, the novel was an excellent read. I would recommend this novel to those who like war fiction and espionage thrillers. I rate this novel 4 out of 5 stars.

    Historical fiction that packs a punch - literally. great tortured main character, dark humor, and a love story. Toss in a little CIA action, covert arms dealing and you've got yourself a great story.

    Reviewed in Canada on March 28, 2024
    This book was really phenomenal. I didn't know anything about Canada's involvement in the Vietnam war prior to reading this, and wow. Just wow. We had a lot more of a hand in that war than I ever would have thought. The characters and story really draw you in, and the lead character's struggle with PTSD is vivid and unnerving. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in spy/thrillers, war books, and the sort of "Jack Reacher" genre. But also, there is a great love story at it's heart. And it's historical fiction! So many boxes checked off for me. Fantastic read :)

    The idea of a local author from Canada. Talking too much about Canada and Vancouver. I thought this was a story on the Vietnam war. It gave me a negative feeling about this author.
