The Reaper of Zion
When a covert rescue mission spirals into a deadly game of deception, Harry must navigate a shadow war where friend and foe look the same—and failure means losing more than just a life.
When Harry is approached by a mysterious Israeli woman—an old acquaintance of the brigadier’s—he learns of a personal tragedy with international stakes. Her son was killed in the October 7th attacks, and her daughter remains in the hands of the man behind it the elusive terrorist mastermind, Mohammed Abbasid. She wants Harry to do what no one else will—track Abbasid down and rescue her daughter.
The brigadier refuses, warning that operating inside Israeli borders without consent could spark an international crisis. But then, without warning, the brigadier disappears—abducted in a move that throws everything into question.
Captain Jane Smith, still nursing a grudge against Harry, puts her anger aside to enlist his help. Early clues point to Abbasid. But as they dig deeper, the trail grows murky—and dangerous. Whispers emerge that Mossad may be involved. Allies blur into enemies. And the truth could cost Harry more than his life.

Classic Harry Bauer returns
Harry Bauer received a visit from Miriam, whose daughter was abducted from her Kibbutz when the October massacres and taken to the Gaza. Harry decides he will find her and other girls being held hostage. When the Brigadier is kidnapped, the plot thickens as Harry has to try to get him back. Lots of intrigue and action. Can’t wait for the next book.

Five Stars
Lots of action and tension. I have read all of the Harry Bauer books in order and have never been disappointed. The books are always a great read. I am very much looking forward to April when the next book is released, Justice Without Mercy.

justice served
Greed and the thirst for more power blinded corrupted individuals without regard to its human costs . It’s up to Bauer to balance the scales at any price .
