It's just an average day at Caltech - until it isn't.
Cayden wanted a quiet job where he could recover from his Special Ops work. Seemed like security on campus would be it. Then really true evil invades his world. Special circumstances show linkage and Cayden knows there are problems, big problems. Unfortunately, it involves very close friends and blows up in his face.
This is an extremely action-packed story with almost no time to take a breath. Hand to hand combat in the home, in the shed, on the street, blades in a gun fight, car chases. What else could you want in a thriller that brings Cayden back to what he does best? Actually, you will find that in the story also. Take a breath, you're at the edge of your seat ready to fall off. Just enjoy the pacing and the people.

Can a piece of technology blow up the world?
Cayden March only wants to work his nice quiet job in security at a University when he is drawn into a life and death situation, when a student he knows is brutally murdered. Something he thought he left behind when he left the Military. The author weaves a complicated tale of Arms dealers, world ending computer software(virus like), and cold blooded assassin’s. If that’s not enough, one of the FBI agents investigating the murder is a traitor. The author skillfully, kinda points you in one direction as to the traitor’s identity, which he does not reveal until the very end.
Complicated intriguing novel. Very good read.

An action-packed ride through the tech savvy worlds of espionage. Cayden tried to retire from Delta Force peacefully as a security guard, but the world has other plans for him when his best friend is murdered. Cayden must stop the people that are killing his friends and find what is going on quickly. The action doesn't slow down, and the writing keeps you on the edge.

This book was action packed. Very hard to put it down. I was half way through the book before the title made sense - but that's okay. Wait for it!
If you like Thrillers or lots of action in your stories - this book is for you. I'm looking forward to the next Cayden March Thriller!
