In Washington one diplomat is murdered and another is missing. Investigating this, as the EMP strikes, Metro PD Detective Jon Chang finds that he alone is left to follow the trail. But can Chang defeat the demons that have cost him his family, before the death toll rises?
Jack Tate and Jon Chang will be forever changed, as they fight to defy the odds in a battle they must not lose.

I'm an Alex Shaw fan, so I was delighted to receive "Blackline" and "Redline" as a gift (with no strings attached). Within the Perseid Collapse world, Shaw creates a spy/SAS/terrorist/intrigue plot in his signature style. There's plenty of action and a smart hero trying to ferret out who and what is behind the mayhem.
I always get a kick out of seeing familiar characters pop up in unexpected places, and a few of Shaw's baddies from the Aidan Snow series put in an effectively evil appearance here. Jack Tate, though, is a new hero. He's just the sort of tough, resourceful, skilled, knowledgeable SAS guy you want to have vacationing in your little tourist town when the EMP hits the fan.
"Redline" takes off (literally) from the cliffhanger ending in “Blackline.” The action shifts from Maine to Washington DC, adding more layers of intrigue and vengeance, and new characters. One of them, Police Det. Chang, was especially interesting to watch as he evolved (devolved?) from reluctant hero to less-than-reluctant vigilante. I’m eager to see how he develops in the next installment of the story.
I haven't read much in the Perseid Collapse Kindle World series. No problem. Shaw did a superb job of sprinkling in enough detail to establish the big picture, while concentrating on the local characters and action. And it made perfect sense that we readers, along with the characters, would have only partial information about the overall situation, because of the EMP-created communications breakdown.
Bottom line: 5-star entertainment in a novella-length book.

A fantastic second book in the Perseid Collapse, Kindle Worlds series. Jack is definitely back!
As Jack Tate's story continues, it begins 24 hours before the EMP attack on the US occurs. Simon Hunter is trying to locate this ambassador of the British Embassy in Washington D.C., a co-worker has been killed, and malicious threats are appearing. Hunter was looking forward to a relaxing visit from his brother, Jack Tate when the lights go out and the power dies. Now, the whereabouts of the ambassador are paramount to the further defensive actions of the embassy. And how will Simon be able to get in touch with his brother?
Jack was starting his holiday in Maine when he was thrust into the chaos, after thwarting an assassination attempt by Russian Spetnaz. With all of the power out, due to the EMP, his holiday has changed into a mission....and it's personal. He must battle the odds, use his powers of deceit, and get to Washington to save his brother at all cost.
This second book was awesome. I love the 'James Bond' qualities of Jack, and his gritty survival skills are so cool! This was a book to read non-stop and I can't wait for more! Alex Shaw does an incredible job with his descriptions and characters, and keeps up the pace. Very well done!

An EMP has hit America and parts of Canada. China has partnered with Russia to takedown America. Russia has deceived China, tricked them. Russia wants to return to its former glory. Jack Tate M16 , former SAS, is Britain's and America's only hope. A extremely fast paced, extraordinarily well written action thriller!!! I can't wait for book three in this series!! Enjoyed tremendously!!!
