International bestselling author Jack Patterson returns with this high-stakes thriller about former CIA operative James Flynn, who must do what no agent can do.
With a heightened threat of a terrorist attack on American soil, former CIA operative turned magazine investigative reporter James Flynn travels to the hinterlands of Idaho to quell rumors about the Idaho National Laboratory becoming the new storage facility for Area 51 artifacts. But while he’s there, a terrorist attack occurs where the hunters become the hunted. Yet as Flynn seeks to foil the terrorists’ plot with FBI agent Jennifer Banks, they stumble upon a conspiracy that stretches far deeper than they expected—one with its tentacles firmly entrenched in various branches of the U.S. government. If they fail, America fails. And failure is never an option for Flynn.
A virus is unleashed in a small village in the middle east. A special forces unit is there and has witnessed the catastrophic result. Suddenly a U.S. drone strike takes them out. But there is a lone survivor. Sgt. Thatcher. And he wants revenge. There's a conspiracy in play and some very powerful people behind it. Ex CIA operative James Flynn is right in the middle of the fray. This is an explosive thriller. Non stop intrigue and action. I highly recommend!
This book again taps into the recurring trope of a conspiracy. The flavor of the conspiracy here involves 'Washington insiders' rather than another government or a terrorist organization, but the plot is equally unrealistic, particularly in its purported operationalization.
The action just kept coming and keeping me on the edge of my seat. I love the way there were so many threads that needed to be solved and how it could have easily been a disaster for the US. Intrigue, suspense, and a little romance thrown in.
