Much better than the first book in the series, Lost in Shadows continues to trace the actions of the Shadow Ops team as they try to uncover the conspiracy involving several terrorist organizations plotting to overthrow the government on the night of the State of the Union address.
After being tortured in Chasing Shadows, Lucky Cavanaugh has recovered and accompanies a fellow agent who believes he is taking part in a first meeting with some gun runners. Before he even realizes what is happening, Lucky is running for his life and his fellow agent is dead. When Vinnie Ryan, local Forest Service Biologist, saves him after his car crashes, their adventure in the wilderness trying to escape killers begins. Once again, Lucky is at the mercy of "The Preacher," who is the mastermind of the plot and his torturer.
This story is much improved over the first book in the series. The action is almost nonstop as the story alternates between a wilderness survival story and a geopolitical thriller involving clandestine paramilitary organizations. Overall, a very good read. ( )

Creating a sequel to a brilliant book is tough, but Lyons far exceeded expectations with Lost in Shadows. The second Shadow Ops book is set only a month after the fast paced action of Chasing Shadows and picks up right where the first book left off. This fast paced novel grabs your attention from the first page and doesn’t let go.

Lucky has returned to the lab following the aftermath of his near catastrophic first encounter with The Preacher. Lucky is thankful to just be alive and has no interest of going back into the thick of danger with the Special Threats Response Team. But when a supposed routine mission goes horribly wrong, and once again puts him in the path of danger, Lucky will need every possible advantage to come out alive.

Vinnie’s strength of personality, her stubbornness and intelligence, make her the perfect partner for Lucky as he once again faces The Preacher. Together they must not only face the enemy men, the treacherous mountain, and their own emotions. Also, KC and Chase, along with the rest of the STR team, play a major part of the story as everyone races against the clock to stop the latest terrorist plot. It will take everyone at their best to triumph.
