After stumbling upon the debut thriller by Brad Pierce, I knew I’d found an impressive author. Pierce tackles the political thriller in both unique and captivating ways. In this piece, a man long thought dead is lurking in Argentina, ready to create the New Reich. First on his list is bringing the US to its knees. To do so, he will seek to instil fear by sending a deadly virus into the country and ensuring mass panic. After Black-Ops are sent in, headed by Colin Frost, the extent of the process is assessed. Many wonder if things will arrive stateside through Mexican cartels sending narcotics across the border. Frost and his men, working under the shadow of darkness, take orders from the highest levels to ensure secrecy and success, while unsure just how effective they will be. Pierce keeps the reader on their toes with this piece, which proves to be intense.
While the world appears calm, there is a rogue virologist long thought dead working on something massive. With Dr. Dominick Schmidt comes ideas and a political push to begin a New Reich. The world is about to be introduced to something. Hidden away in Argentina, plans are underway to unleash a virus that will send the US into a panic. The easiest way to infiltrate is to seek the assistance of the Mexican drug cartels, who could get their shipments on US streets in days. While pulling the levers in Argentina, a US Black-Ops team is sent to neutralise things in Mexico, headed by Colin Frost. While his team works well off the books, they are getting strong orders from the US president and those in the highest levels of power.
As the battle to stop the cartels from successfully getting their product to the US, Frost and his team find themselves in the middle of the tumult. They must use what firepower they have in Mexico to stop things, but also learn that the head of the snake might be in Argentina. Travelling there for answers, Frost and his team discover the New Reich and all that means. They realise the consequences that await should this entity, the terrorist organisation ever rise up and take action.
With no time to lose and imminent issues within the United States, Frost and his team must dismantle anything related to the New Reich before the viruses can reach their target. Additionally, it will take effort and determination to ensure the New Reich falls apart and can never see the light of day again. If anyone is capable, it's Colin Frost! Brad Pierce delivers another strong piece that adds depth to the series, leaving a cliffhanger to provide suspense.
I enjoy discovering new authors whose ideas resonate with me. Brad Pierce has a keen eye on what makes a great political thriller and peppers it with action. While not as strong as the debut, he develops a strong narrative to propel things along with this piece. Pierce uses action to fuel this piece and never lets up! Characters help add something to the piece and provide some great good depth to keep the reader intrigued. Plot points are well placed and keep the story moving throughout the various locales. While I was not as hooked as with the debut, I am eager to see where things are headed and what Brad Pierce has in store for Colin Frost next, particularly with that cliffhanger.
Kudos, Mr. Pierce, for another strong effort.

Good Story- Needs Better Editing
This is the second book I have read by this author, and he spins a good tale. Unfortunately, in Chapter 4, he uses the words cease and ceased, when the words should be seize and seized. This obviously gives a very different meaning to what the author is trying to say.

Awesome!
This book took off and all I could was to keep moving forward to it's conclusion. I liked the way it moved from one group to the next to paint a complete picture. I'm not sure about the ending and would hope the next novel helps with that.

Packed with action, suspense and political intrigue. This book was even better than the first, Capital Murder. I couldn’t stop turning the pages. Love Brad Pierce and can’t wait for Colin Frost’s next adventure.

The plot and characters were well done but the spelling was atrocious and very distracting for me. I don't remember the first book being like that.

When the government gets knowledge of a rogue virologist appearing again and selling his services, Colin Frost and his team are called to help. The trail leads to South America, first Mexico, then Argentine and the team detects that a bioweapon is on the lose, a WMD heading for the US. Lots of action again in the second book of the Colin Frost series.

Good read
Good read. Could do with some better editing, but still a B+
Brad Pierce is a very strong story teller.

Plot and characters were good. Spelling and punctuation was horrible. Turn off auto fill! CEASED instead of seized. SWEET instead of suite. PLANE instead of plain. And this is just a small sample. It was so distracting that it was hard to follow the story. It seems this book was released as a first draft without benefit of a proofreading or an editor. First book was not like that.
