Rogue State #2
Fortress
After a covert mission deep in the Iraqi desert, Delta Force soldier Vann Jackson is carrying more than just his gun and equipment back to the US embassy in Baghdad.
The Tier One operator is infected with a deadly virus that has stripped away his humanity and turned him into something else. When Jackson launches a bloody and unprovoked attack in the embassy chow hall, it doesn’t take long before things start going to hell.
As the death toll climbs faster than a Baghdad thermometer, terrified diplomats demand immediate help, but Secretary of State Amy Coffman has other plans for the embassy - and they don’t include saving her fellow Americans.
Abandoned to their fate and besieged by a growing army of infected, the dwindling band of survivors must arm up and fight their way out of the fortified compound before the infected can get to them.
And before a ruthless Deep State cabal can implement their final, terrible solution.

Breathless
What a totally fascinating storyline the corruption of political leaders and the worthlessness of civilians and soldiers alike and whilst this is a story albeit one close to the knuckles, those of us who are awake to the corruption of political leaders know that this goes on.
Careful Mr Alden you might end up on some government hit list!!!!!

An excellent follow up to the first book, although primarily set in the one location the book takes a turn against political conspiracy and enters the sort of genre I didn't think I'd enjoy reading but I smashed it inside 3 days. As gripping as all the others.

Not even close to being as good as the first book.
