Mike Garin and his
team have completed a successful mission in Pakistan to recover a
nuclear device. This team is so special hardly anyone knows about
it’s existence. Therefore, it’s surprising to have eight of the
team members killed upon reentering the United States.
Garin, team leader,
is the only one left alive. He goes underground and succeeds in
wiping out the assassins, but now he’s the prime suspect in the
murders. He’s been set up and now pursued by both the Iranians and
the US government.
This book is
primarily a chase scene with plenty of violence thrown in. The plot
is standard for this type of thriller. Garin is trying to save the US
from a complex plot that could destroy the country. The author does a
good job of bringing in the current international situation, but it’s
primarily background for the action.
If you like action
heroes, Garin is almost too good. Some of the fight scenes are the
stuff super heroes engage in. However, it you like a story with
plenty of violence this is a good one. The scenes are well written
and will keep you on the edge of your seat.
The other characters
are pretty much stereotypes. Olivia is the beautiful, brilliant aide
who figures things out faster than her boss and has a strong positive
reaction to Garin. This is the first book in what will become a
series, so if you like it, you’ll see these character in action
again.
I received this book
from Penguin for this review.
