Jean-Sébastien (J-S) Rioux enlisted in the Infantry and served in the US Army’s 101st Airborne Division (AASLT) in the 1980s. Following his military career, he became an academic, specializing in international conflict analysis. He taught at McGill University in Montreal, at Vesalius College in Brussels, Belgium, held the Canada Research Chair in International Security at Laval University in Québec City, and most recently was a faculty member at the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy. As a scholarly writer with over twenty academic publications to his credit, he always dreamed of writing novels, and this is the first of what he hopes to be many. J-S lives in Calgary, Alberta, with his wife and their three daughters.

I always enjoy a good revenge/vigilante novel and this fast-paced, action thriller delivers! The only reason I gave it 4-stars instead of 5 is that I wanted a bit more back story: it seemed improbable that an ER physician would have a hidden arsenal ...more
