The Athena File
April 2009. Ghazni Province, Afghanistan. A Taliban ambush annihilates a village and an embedded Special Forces team. Two soldiers and an Afghan teenaged girl survive. Abigail Ward, a Criminal Investigations Command officer, investigates the incident. Then the girl disappears. Seven years later, trouble again finds Abigail when gunrunners kidnap her brother, Jonathan, after he steals from them a jump drive containing a computer file called Athena. To find him, she seeks the help of David Shepherd, Jonathan’s best friend from his Special Forces days. Problem is, David wants nothing to do with her. A recovered addict, he blames Jonathan for his two-year homeless stint. For him, helping the sister of the man he despises means leaving the safety and security of his Utah hometown. The danger intensifies when Abigail discovers the existence of the Athena file and the presence of a woman eavesdropper. Who is she? Is there a link to Jonathan’s past and her? Time begins to run out for her brother. Abigail must learn to trust David with her life and tangled issues from her past. As they draw closer together, the events that began half a world away may have the power to destroy them both.

Well . . . . I didn't hate it! It was just a little difficult to get into, for me. Once I got to about 40%, I was into the story, and was mostly ok with it. However, when I completed the book, I was dismayed to find that ~ while it is listed as a trilogy ~ the first book was published in 2016; the second book was *just* published (in 2020); so I have NO IDEA when we can expect to read the final installment.
I'm stopping now ~ at the end of #1, because I'm ok with where it ended.
. . . . . Perhaps when #3 is (? written ?) published, I'll reread #1, then read#2 & #3 for the first time. Perhaps; perhaps not.

Enjoyed this book
Liked learning about military action/life in the military, and appreciated the Christian perspective/faith in God. Can’t wait to read more by this author!

Pretty good read. Clean writing which is a wonderful thing. Strong faith base, although the characters forget at times. Some parts are hard to believe.

Love, Faith & Mystery
This is my first time reading Jennifer Haynie's work but now I am a fan. Cannot wait to see where things go from here.

Military intrigue is not my usual genre but it catches your interest from the start and moves along nicely, slows towards the end somewhat but this is only to incorporate and expand on the Religious content of the book more. A satisfying read and enjoyable.
