Ben Adams is not interested in helping Homeland Security with their problems. They have an indictment with his name on it that says that he will. A high revving thrill ride, the third book in the Ben Adams series takes Adams over the ragged edge and undercover in the racing world to stop a Middle Eastern terror group from making an atomic bomb. DeConcini blends fact and fiction as only someone who has worked on the front lines of national security can. Put on your crash helmet and check your brakes because if Adams gets this wrong the world loses.
Ben Adams is a surfer who finds himself responsible for neutralizing a terrorist threat. Well, obviously he’s not just any surfer… he’s a former FBI agent and also felon, who’s now retired and living a life of surfing and drinking beers on the beach. Trying to stay off the radar, he keeps to himself, with few — if any — friends, and a loyal dog. But the FBI has some leverage from his past, and has decided that his recklessness is a special talent, so has forced him to go undercover on an insane mission.
If he doesn’t comply, ISIS may get a critical nuclear weapon trigger and Ben would certainly go back to jail. But doing the job will involve high-speeds, high-stakes, and Ben’s own high-jinks thrown into the mix.
Late Apex is the third novel in Jeremy DeConcini’s Ben Adams trilogy. It’s an action-packed and fast paced page-turner in its own right — you don’t need to have read the first two novels to dive right into this one — with a rough and tumble hero you’ll love for his irreverence.
Thanks to his work as a Special Agent in the Department of Homeland Security, DeConcini’s experiences and personal political opinions permeate his plot and convince the reader that Late Apex’s storyline is truly plausible. All this to say… this highly enjoyable and suspenseful read seems realistic enough, even as we cringe at the American negligence.
And the best part may be that despite Adams’ heroics, he’s not able to neatly tie up his mission. Which undoubtedly means we’re preparing ourselves for DeConcini’s Ben Adams novel #4.
