Rate this book
The BRAND NEW high-octane thriller from MILLION COPY BESTSELLER Rob Sinclair. A must-listen for fans of Lee Child and Robert Ludlum.

Can one man stop a nation from going up in flames?

James Ryker, former intelligence agent, is thrust into a high-stakes conspiracy that will test his limits, and his loyalty, to the max. Sent to Atlanta, Georgia, his mission to find a missing governor's daughter quickly spirals into a deadly pursuit of ex-special ops agent Caleb Marshall. A man presumed dead, but very much alive, and with a terrifying thirst for vengeance.

As Ryker navigates a treacherous landscape of radical right-wing factions, underground networks, and devastating terror attacks, he uncovers a plot of unimaginable scale. Marshall’s meticulous plan to plunge the USA into chaos is playing out before his eyes, and with just a handful of allies, Ryker finds himself in a desperate race against time to stop the world’s leading power combusting from within.

Get ready for the next action-packed instalment of the bestselling Ryker series. Perfect for fans of Lee Child and Mark Greaney.

Book #8 in the series. After the first book, I quickly became a James Ryker fan. Rob Sinclair's "take no prisoners" character uses his skills, gained through hard-earned experience, to keep his corner of the world safe. He's a cross between Jack Ryan and Reacher, and he feeds my thriller addiction. In BURNING STATE, he investigates the abduction of a governor's daughter, only to find himself in the middle of several incidents. Now he must decide if they are all related to the kidnapping and precisely what he needs to do.
