This is a really strong novel continuing the storyline of Cameron Kyle. Both the character and the fast paced espionage environment development continues to be great. Without delivering a spoiler, this book ends on an unexpected cliff hanger, I cannot wait for book 4!!!

A well written story of Traitors/Espionage. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and look forward to the next in the series.

I had the privilege to read this before publication date. This was another great read in the series, fast paced & keeps you on your toes from start to end. Couldn't put it down. Can't wait for Book 4!
