Myrmidon Files #2
Mystic
The pattern emerges….
A series of unexplained deaths are only a harbinger of the apocalypse to come. A mysterious figure who calls himself ‘the Immortal’ is plotting the destruction of the global economy, and only Tam Broderick and her CIA task force—the Myrmidons—can stop it.
But when the Immortal sends his followers on a quest to retrieve a medieval relic alleged to have mystical powers, the pattern becomes less clear. Is this a ruse to throw the Myrmidons off the trail? Or is the relic the key to the Immortal’s ingenious plan?
Praise for David Wood
“Dane and Bones.... Together they're unstoppable. Rip roaring action from start to finish. Wit and humor throughout. Just one question - how soon until the next one? Because I can't wait.”
-Graham Brown, author of Shadows of the Midnight Sun
“What an adventure! A great read that provides lots of action, and thoughtful insight as well, into strange realms that are sometimes best left unexplored.” -Paul Kemprecos, author of Cool Blue Tomb and the NUMA Files
“A page-turning yarn blending high action, Biblical speculation, ancient secrets, and nasty creatures. Indiana Jones better watch his back!” -Jeremy Robinson, author of SecondWorld
“With the thoroughly enjoyable way Mr. Wood has mixed speculative history with our modern day pursuit of truth, he has created a story that thrills and makes one think beyond the boundaries of mere fiction and enter the world of 'why not'?” -David Lynn Golemon, Author of the Event Group series
“A twisty tale of adventure and intrigue that never lets up and never lets go!” -Robert Masello, author of The Einstein Prophecy
“Let there be no confusion: David Wood is the next Clive Cussler. Once you start reading, you won't be able to stop until the last mystery plays out in the final line.”-Edward G. Talbot, author of 2012: The Fifth World
“I like my thrillers with lots of explosions, global locations and a mystery where I learn something new. Wood delivers! Recommended as a fast paced, kick ass read.”-J.F. Penn, author of Desecration

Mystic is one of the books in the Myrmidon Files adventure series by David Wood and Sean Ellis.
The main characters are Tam Broderick’s Myrmidon Team. At various times they are working together or split up going separate directions. Avery had a fairly large role in this story and we learned a little bit more about Stone.
In this story, the team has stumbled across the murders of more than 100 people in the financial business. In the process of investigate the murders they run into a conspiracy to cause a global financial meltdown using a financial system called Mystic. The story starts in Connecticut, travels to Switzerland, France, Scotland, and Colorado. A key element of the story is the Brazen Head, a historical bronze head that was an example of early automation and we learn a bit about it during the adventure.
What I liked about the book, and what I like about many of David Wood’s books, was the arcane history he includes. The main characters are mostly likeable. However, in this particular series the characters seem to like to take swipes at our current president, and people who support the 2nd Amendment. It was a little off putting but I stuck it out. Avery made a few really bad decisions, but then she is not really a field person. The ending is more of a cliff hanger than a true ending to evil they were up against. And the antagonist, Thom Martiel, aka The Immoral, had a really bad idea about crashing the economy.
I would recommend this easy read for adults and young adults. You will have to look past the political rhetoric and not let yourself be bothered by it. This could be considered a lighter version of James Rollins.

Mystic is the second book in the Myrmidon series. Especially loved that Danes and Bones made an appearance.
Tam and the Myrmidon team are investigating a string of deaths of bank managers. The link between all of these deaths is a banking system called Mystic. "The Immortal" is planning to reek havoc on the global economy. He is also on the search for the Bronze Head that believes will help him.
Lot of action and twists and turns. You won't see the ending coming.
Another home run!
