When an elite US soldier turns terrorist, only one man can stop him in the New York Times bestselling author's action-packed thriller series debut.

CIA agent Ryan Kealey has no time to wrestle his demons. Former US soldier Jason March, one of the world's deadliest assassinsâ??and Kealey's former protégéâ??is now working with a powerful terror network whose goal is nothing less than the total annihilation of the United States. Now it's up to Kealey to put together the pieces of a terrifying puzzle.

With the fate of the country resting on his shoulders, Kealey finds himself caught in a desperate game of cat-and-mouse with the most cunning opponent he's ever faced. March is brilliant, ruthless, and determined to commit the ultimate act of evil. And he's all the more deadly for being one of our own.

"Brilliantly well-written with plotting sharper than a fence full of razor wire, a sizzling page-turner." â??Brad Thor, New York Times bestselling au

Terrorist plot against U.S. leaders. Likable CIA maverick Ryan Kealey teams with ex-MI6 operative to get the bad guys. Reminescent of Brad Thor's Scot Harvath. ( )

I didn't like Naomi, other than her the book was gripping! ( )

When I started reading, I was hooked.

I liked the way the plot unfolded, step by step, as if I looked over the shoulder of Ryan Kealey.
Only when he learned that the terrorist who is about to attack the American, Italian and French presidents, the scope also switched to him.
I could feel the tension as it were, when the police, CIA, FBI and all other agencies were trying to prevent the attack from happening. Since there was too little information, it looked at first they would never succeed. BUT a lucky question brought a neccessary answer and the bomb never went off. Too bad that Kealey did not think of anything but going home to his fiancee, that he even left his gun outside. Now he had no defence at all, when he found the terrorist in his own house, holding Katie hostage. And, killing her, just to hurt him and provoke him to come and start a chase.
It was a plausible book, well written, a reccomendation to all who love these kind of books. ( )

Imagine a westerner trained in American military tactics deciding to join a terrorist network because he is bent on exacting revenge against the U.S. and the west. That is the nightmare scenario facing Ryan Kealey and his associates in this book. Ryan has domestic issues to deal with as well, as he tries to hold together a new relationship--one that he hopes will end in marriage--yet he also has to fight off an attraction to his beautiful associate working with him to track down 'the American'. Still the thrill of the chase is the main point of this book as it flips back and forth between the perspective of the good and bad guys. And it definitely delivers on the thrills with it's chilling scenario and battle between two highly intelligent and well trained men. This is a great one to recommend to any fan of thrillers. ( )

Better written than most, unimaginative standard plot, banal characters, overlong. Avoid.
