Book #1, in the Gemini series
This spin off of the Warrior series features Beth and Meghan Petersen the two kick ass twin sisters who will be working for a deep black agency putting their lives on the line in the shadowy world of counter-terrorism. Their first mission in the leading rolls will be very unusual…..Their client is an eight year old girl.
All the books from Mr. Patterson have been action packed, no exception here. Beth and Meghan lead us into maze of twists and turns where nothing is as it seems. Once again I was into an exciting scenario that smoothly pulled me in and I stay hooked till the very last words. The storyline flows fast and furious and sleekly give a thrilling ride from start to finish. Zeb and the team do have minor roles but this time all eyes are on the sisters. This adventure is captivating, although simple is well-written to give the needed punch to keep us glued and flipping pages. As always, we find a thoughtful plot with well-developed characters. Nothing fancy just plain fun.
200 pages or so of entertainment is definitely not a taxing read. This is another book I am happy to have received from the author and glad to add it to my collection.

Micah Reed Catch and Release
Once again Jim fills in more of Micah's past while Micah again ventures out on another adventure. Don't know how Jim keeps all of us fans so spellbound with each new book but I hope he never stops. If you aren't reading the Micah Reed series of books you are truly missing out !

Bewildered!
Whole premise was rediculous. Zero divided had no feasable definition. the narrative had no flow and made little sense. The
Last few chapters were superfluous.

Sorry, just couldn't get into it.
I tried. And tried. I made it one quarter the way thru but couldn't get interested. Did not finish it.

The first one of Gemini series. Good book, love the twin sister Petersen! This book is very well written. Two more to go, already read number 4.

I'm not mad at it. Wasn't crazy about how these top level operatives operated sometimes but nobody's perfect. Think I'll read another in the series and see how it goes.

A must read
In the usual Ty Patterson way, the story line keeps you reading to the end. Great, and then continues into the next read!

February 8, 2024I enjoy Ty Patterson books. There are twists and unexpected turns. This book concentrated on the twins more than Zeb Carter. It was quite enjoyable without hurting your head.

Warrior series continues with this new Gemini, on to movies???? I hope so and you will toooo!
Beth and Meghan Petersen, twins, work in a deep black U.S. agency, on missions that never come to light. They are used to the shadowy world of counter-terrorism and have put their lives on the line. Several times. They take on their most unusual mission when they are recruited by eight-year-old Maddie Kittrell, who's hiding a secret that can tear her family apart. However, before they even start their investigation, they are attacked viciously and are left with a burning question that's even larger than Maddie's secret. Whom do they trust? Maddie Kittrell? Her Daddy? Her Mommy? Or none of them?
What did I like? What can I say; Ty hit the ball out to of the ballpark again. I just love this series for more than just one reason. That they are an exciting, action packed, American made, tried and blue mystery series! No, I love them because the carry the heart of the American in them. Zeb is not only a quiet guy that has experienced lots of tragedy in his own person life but he carries the weight of his country and his team on his shoulders. Broad as they are and experienced that he is, it’s a tough job that he handles with the quiet grace that he possess but just bear in mind don’t cross him because it will never happen again. In addition each and every story that is in both series all tie back to the beginning even though they can be read as a standalone. Really though you are going to want to go back to the beginning and read the whole thing.
What are you going to like? Gee, where do I begin? The well written storyline is really fantastic, complicated, twisted, super exciting, sometimes turning into itself, deep but sensitive and explosive! You have remarkable characters, continuing on with the team from the Warrior series, featuring the twins this time and I have to say, they really know how to get the job done. LOL this one is a child kidnapping and taking place here in the US. It shows more of their personalities this time and also their extensive training. All of them are like my best friends or at least ones that I wish were really my best friends. This one again features the oneness of the group and how they interact with each other. I love how the kidding and the love that they have for each other shows in the way that they work with each other. You again will see the massive amount of research the author has put into his work. I think that besides book one in the Warrior series this is going to be my favorite so far. You will see as you get into it as to why I can’t put them down till I finish the last page.
I am an advanced reader for this author and everything I write in my reviews are of my own opinion but I also own each and every one of these books because I enjoy them that much that I wanted them in my private library. I highly recommend this whole series to anyone that really enjoys this genre and I am sure you will want them in your library also.

Ty Patterson has taken the twin sisters Meghan & Beth from his Warrior series and given them leading rolls in this new Gemini series.
When Meghan and Beth heard the little girl say " daddy hits mommy" they knew they had to help this little girl. But what they find takes the reader on twist and turns we didn't see coming.
I think it will be nice getting to know the twins better through this series while letting us keep in touch with the black ops team they are part of.
Since reading the first book by Ty Patterson I have always looking eagerly to reading the next. This one is no exception.

August 8, 2016Twins Meghan and Beth have been supporting characters to the Warriors--a well-written and thrilling series by Ty Patterson. Now, the twins are the central figures in this exquisite crime mystery/thriller. I've been a fan of Patterson's writing for years, and he continues to hone his art and bring us thoughtful plots with well-developed characters. In Dividing Zero, we are led into a maze with many turns and dead-ends, to arrive at an unexpected conclusion. The finale is very Hitchcockian! Certain to entertain!

The twins are part of a team so elite that few people besides the president know they exist. When not on assignment the team works as a security team, taking cases as they chose. When a friend visits with her granddaughters and their friend, it is the beginning of a case so complex it involves many the local police and other highly placed people.
The kidnapping of the little girl may cost the twins their lives. And it will take that much if necessary. They promise to find her and will do nothing less.
Another exceptional story by Ty Patterson.

Brilliant first in the series.
Daddy hits mommy." This appalling sentence from eight year old Maddie is the beginning of a roller coaster ride for twins Beth and Meghan and their friend and colleague, Zeb.
Nothing is quite what it seems in this investigation which leads to a tense, action-filled, thriller of an adventure while they try to unravel the truth.
Impossible to put down and a wholly satisfying read.
As good as the Warrior series.
Highly recommended.

Good Mystery......
Good storyline, lots of twists and turns in this book. Beth and Meagan were quite good in this story and Zeb was as quiet as ever but he comes to life if needs be. Wish the whole crew had more input but they came thru in the end. Thanks Ty for another good book!!!! Amarillo Turtle

A well thought out first novel spinning off the adventures of the twins. I enjoyed this just as much as the Warrior series and did not stop reading until I finished.
Looking forward to more adventures of the twins.

Great first book in the series. Zeb Carter with a bit of a twist - the new slant really freshened the stories up.
I. Could. Not. Put. This. Down.
This was one the best books I have read this year.

Another Exciting Adventure
Once again, Ty Patterson has hit a home run with this novel. This one is a continuation of the first nine books and fits right in to the story line. I'd recommend these books to anyone who likes non-stop action and unexpected twists and turns.
