After a devastating attack in New York City, the nefarious culprit is still at large. With the help of Nassar, a representative of the Muslim Brotherhood, Bart Madison, a mercenary, attacked the Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, stealing B-61 nuclear bombs along the way. A couple of nuclear warheads found their way to Brazil under the guardianship of Lieutenant General Devrim Chakmak. Meanwhile, nuclear weapons expert Max Kenworth and his fiancée Dayna Mayer, an Israeli Intelligence Officer, follow Madison's trail to South America. Additionally, the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated members of the US Senate. With a potential nuclear attack on American soil imminent, can Max and his allies prevent it from happening? Will the terrorists be brought to justice?
Filled to the brim with action, intrigue, and patriotic fervor, Wrath and Reckoning is a masterpiece of an espionage thriller. From start to finish, the plot moves nonstop at breakneck speed. You don't want to put down the book for a single moment in case you might miss some crucial dialogue or a seemingly throwaway clue that may allude to something more important later down the line. Patrick Parker uses a lot of characters in the narrative. However, the author always ensures everyone has their own agency and a personality that makes them shine among their peers. The twists and turns are always unexpected, keeping the reader on their toes. All in all, it's a fantastic military/espionage thriller. I very much enjoyed it and definitely recommend it."

Evelyn Hoover's Review
Review: Acts of Treason (A Max Kenworth Suspense Thriller, Book 2) by Patrick Parker
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Acts of Treason is a high-stakes, pulse-pounding thriller that blends political corruption, international espionage, and military action into one tightly wound narrative. Patrick Parker doesn't waste time easing readers in; he throws us straight into the chaos, and from that moment on, it’s a race against time.
Max Kenworth, the returning protagonist, is exactly the kind of hero you want in a geopolitical thriller: calm under pressure, deeply competent, and always two steps ahead (but never unrealistically so). This time, he’s on a mission to secure nuclear weapons in Turkey just as a coup erupts, and what follows is a globe-trotting pursuit of stolen nukes, shadowy enemies, and betrayal at the highest levels.
The layered plot weaves together multiple threats: a corrupt U.S. presidential campaign, a terrorist network, a traitor with a grudge, and a nation teetering on the edge of disaster. Parker handles these interwoven storylines with skill, keeping the pace brisk and the stakes high. What sets this book apart is how personal the conflict becomes, both for Max, as he finds himself the target of a setup, and for the traitor, whose vendetta adds emotional weight to the already tense action.
The political subplot involving Jenny Gareth and her morally bankrupt husband adds a sinister twist to the standard thriller formula. The idea of using a nuclear attack to manipulate a U.S. election is terrifyingly plausible in today’s climate, and Parker explores it with unnerving realism.
Action scenes are sharp and cinematic, and the military and intelligence operations feel authentic without bogging down in jargon. Parker knows his stuff, and it shows.
This isn’t just a straightforward good-versus-evil thriller, it's about manipulation, moral compromise, and the price of power. And while it’s the second in the Max Kenworth series, it stands well on its own (though you'll probably want to go back and read War Merchant if you haven’t already).
If you’re a fan of authors like Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, or Tom Clancy, Acts of Treason will hit your sweet spot. It’s smart, relentless, and disturbingly timely.

Review of The Defect by Jeff Bailey
★★★★
A nuclear power plant and terrorists…
What could go wrong with this combination? The mix sets up the potential for a catastrophe on US soil.
Jeff Bailey takes you through the inner workings of a nuclear power plant. All is well until the well-disciplined terrorists make the plant their target. The author shows the lengths a terrorist organization will go through to attack their target. Although the plant has numerous safeguards, make no mistake, the security can be subverted.
The highly trained, dedicated staff responsible for the safe operation of the plant made an early mistake of not recognizing an innocuous warning that an actual breach had occurred until events took a terrifying turn.
Jeff shows how they did it. Well done! This thriller is a worthy read for the suspense/thriller reader.
