The fourth in the Dar and Kerry series. It's another non-stop exciting ride too.

This time Dar starts with the Annual Stockholder's meeting in New York while Kerry tries to get to Chicago to fix a screw up that her people had done. She doesn't quite get there though.

Then the book gets to the main plot of the story. ILS gets hired by General Gerry and the Federal government to analyze a Navy base's (or more than one, it was unclear) systems and procedures. Both the technical ones as well as the personnel ones too.

That causes some friction because the Navy officers and Enlisted higher ups see her as an outsider who's trampling all over everything they do. I really liked all the scenes at and about the Navy base. They were all brimming with emotion and underlying meanings.

There were subplots that were interesting too. Mostly personnel stuff with in the walls of ILS. Nothing wicked surprising, but definitely interesting.

This was a cool book. And not only did it have the usual corporate thriller stuff in it like the rest of the series, but his novel there was quite a bit of action thriller in it too. And I also liked the unknown stuff happening between Kerry and Dar, not as subtle as usual, but still fun to read. ( )
