In Plain Sight
Terrorists will attack a major US city on New Year's Eve. Can he stop them in time?
After his wife’s murderer is captured, Blake Jordan heads to Chicago to propose to the woman he loves. But while millions of Americans are distracted with New Year’s Eve celebrations, Russian terrorists are making other plans.

If he wants to stop the next attack and protect those closest to him, Blake must get the prisoner to talk. But when he sees the truth hidden in plain sight, he’ll be forced to make an unforgettable sacrifice...

Let’s see if I can eke out a 4.5 stars for those who agree that partial stars would help differentiate reviews a little better!
Yet another strong political thriller by Ken Fite, with a story that finds its feet in the early chapters and never stops developing. I discovered Fite by accident and was blown away with his series debut, which forced me to locate the rest of the series—Amazon seems to have the exclusive market of these digital releases—and devour the novels in short order. In this third piece, Blake Jordan is settling into his position as a special advisor to the American president. While in Chicago visiting his former parter and apparent love interest, Jami Davis, Jordan realises that many of the situations in which he has found himself seem to go south, leaving him to wonder about a personal curse. Before they can begin a discussion on the matter, Jordan and Davis are made aware of a murder back in DC. What makes it all the more alarming is that the victim worked as a cyber analyst with powerful connections. Rushing back to Washington, Jordan learns of a cyberattack along the East Coast, one that paralysed the federal infrastructure for a time, which could only prove devastating in the future if the perpetrator can cripple communications indefinitely. After a show of might that includes a transportation disaster, the group responsible claims to have larger plans for the coming days. Jordan comes face to face with one of his past nemeses who appears to be connected to the upcoming terrorist act, but wants immunity before revealing anything. With little idea where and when regarding the terror strike, Jordan must team-up with various organisations in the intelligence community, including the Department of Domestic Counterintelligence (DDC), where he led the Chicago office until he was summarily dismissed. Much strong-arming finally provides intel that the act of terrorism is set for New Year’s Eve, though Jordan’s friend is being held at an unknown location as well. Information is being released at a trickle, with little time to spare, leaving Jordan, Davis, and the rest of the team in a panic. While Jordan and Davis try to crack the mystery wide open, they must also decide how they fit into one another’s lives. Either way, it will come to an explosive ending that will have series fans on the edge of their seats. Fite has done it again with a stellar novel that puts Blake Jordan in the middle of a nail-biting thrill ride. Easily read as a standalone, but a wonderful complement to the previous two novels in the series, should the reader wish to embark on a larger adventure. Highly recommended to those who love a good thriller, particularly the reader who has read the previous two books.
Ken Fite writes with much intensity and knows his politics, the perfect recipe for a successful political thriller. Fite continues to explore the world of Blake Jordan in his amorphous role within the West Wing. The backstory is minimal, but what the series fan will know helps propel Jordan to piece it all together while tackling the current issue. Blake Jordan is a man on a mission, no matter what it might be, putting America before his own safety. Jordan gets to the heart of the matter, discovering surprises bone-chilling information about the larger intelligence community that could shape the way in which America is governed. Jordan and Agent Jami Davis pair up nicely to get to the core of the terror threat, working as well on their personal connection, though time seems to be very limited on that front. The handful of other characters are a mix of returning vets and new faces, all of whom work to shape the plot in their own way. Fite is never short of political situations and uses his characters effectively to keep the reader connected to the larger narrative. The pace of the novel helps make it stand out and will surely grab the reader’s attention from the outset, particularly with short chapters that inject cliffhangers to propel the reader to read ‘just a little more’. I’ve binge-read the first three novels and will definitely be reaching for Book 4 to see what direction Blake Jordan takes, particularly with the revelation at the end of this book.
Kudos, Mr. Fite, for a great series that keeps getting better. Bring on more adventure for all!

Good series.
I like this series and Blake Jordan character but not the decision he made at the end. Ken Fite is another very talented author, can't wait for the 4th book.
Home grown terrorist, even in the government agencies. Innocent people died in subway, now they're after the crowd celebrating new year at NYC. President Killer has one trusted friend, Blake. After many bloody fights and killings he has to find and stop this attack.

Another OUTSTANDING Blake Jordan Thriller
Blake Jordan and his girl Friend Jami are put in the crosshairs of the Russians this time. Blake is the Presidents man, his job is too look after the interest of the US when the law prevents other agencies getting the job done. Mr Fite rights in the same genre as Flynn, Coes and Taylor. I've read three so far and now I'll be starting number 4.

Great Read!
This was an action packed story with interesting and realistic characters. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a wonderful story that keeps you wanting to know what will happen next.

This is book 3 of an on-going series about Blake Jordan, a federal agent with the fictional Department of Domestic Counter-terrorism (DDC). This novel features characters introduced in and continues to develop a story-line developed in books 1 and 2. This was a good story and a good read.
In much the same way that 24 isn't realistic, this novel isn't realistic. The situations in this book, however, are totally plausible - people from other countries trying to harm the US and it's citizens, government agencies in conflict and working at cross-purposes, political nonsense, and terrorist plots that we need someone to thwart. Some that which I find unrealistic is admittedly part of the appeal - the idea of a selfless, courageous, and powerful government agent like Blake Jordan makes the book fun to read. I like having someone to pull for, even though I didn't have any delusion that he wouldn't save the day in the end.
I'm looking forward to book 4 to see what happens next.

Blake Jordan...a conflicted, confused , yet dedicated hero
I continue to struggle with keeping characters straight There are many with important roles in these well designed and interesting plots. However, it would be helpful to me for more character identification incorporated into the action for smoother enjoyment of the plot. That said, I look forward to reading on about Blake's personal & professional decisions, some of which disappoint me...Including his walking away from the love & closeness offered that would enrich his life of personal (and professional) separation and distancing.

Broken
This KU library read has Blake once again facing off against terrorists who have kidnapped a friend. And once again, the agencies that are designed to protect are instead obstructive. The president, and by extension Blake Jordan, are but paper tigers. Blake saves the day once again, but is a pariah in the eyes of the agencies he has been hired to coordinate. It is too dysfunctional to be anything but realistic.

In Plain Sight
Another great installment of the Blake Jordan series. Blake goes non-stop just like the action in this book. With so many things working against him he still manages to put things in action to make things right. Even with all his guilt working against his psyche he seems to make the right decisions. Or does he? I can't wait for the next book to find out. Ken Fire is a superb storyteller.

I’m going to start off with a criticism, why Fite uses both first and last names to identify one person ? It is a little confusing to a reader sometimes. What might be the purpose? Don’t see it. After finally figuring it out it was an ok book, just not over the top like Mitch Rapp. I find it hard to believe, after walking around with a ring in your pocket, that you change your mind and don’t give it to her. 4.5

In Plain Sight
Blake and Jamie are together in Chicago when Blake is summoned back to DC. Jamie is sent there by Shapiro and Morgan tags along. There has been an attack on the communications system on the East coast. This is followed with the crash of two trains in Union Station. Another attack is set to occur on New Years Eve in New York City. Morgan has been kidnapped by the terrorists. So Jamie and Blake head separately to NewYork.

He's done it again. How many times can he put himself, his friends, and loved ones in danger? Especially since, it seems, all the "bad guys" in the world are out to get him. What slammed the door on this series was the ending (no spoilers). So, it's bye bye Blake Jordan. Mr Fite, you took this series beyond the limits of believability. Two stars is a stretch.

Excellent Read
Very well written, kept the action going well throughout entire book.. Obvious that author thinks very poorly about FBI and NSA, the ongoing power grabs by each supposed head of the agencies leaves this reader feeling disgusted and fearful for future of the USA.

Oh my god this book was lowkey so bad. Blake Jordan is so unlikable and should be in jail. Also the Australians always ended their sentences with “love”. No matter who they were talking to or other context. Finally, the President acts like a MAGA Republican. But alas, I am determined to see this series through so I will read the last 6 books.

Great storyline; however,I found this book to be very wordy and fell into the minutiae of the mechanics of the simplest situations. I’m a very picky when it comes to grammar and writing styles. I found myself anxious to finish just to finish. In all fairness, though I didn’t read it daily which likely contributed to some of my periodic confusion.

In Plain Sight is the third exciting book in the Blake Jordan series written by author Ken Fite. The ending definitely leaves the reader with the desire to read the next book.

Blake Jordan #3
Enjoyed reading this book & the almost happy ending. Even though it seems he is protecting Jami, I think it was the wrong way to go. But maybe I'm just old fashioned.

Amazing series
I read The Senator in one day, and couldn't wait to read the next book in the series. Couldn't put them down once I started. Can't wait to find out what's next for Blake.

I love the way the author pulls you into the story from the very beginning and keeps you turning the pages until your eye just can't stay open. Now on to the next one-- this one left the reader wanting more.

Appropriate
This book is so appropriate for this time, as was the last one, "Credible Threat." Scary, but informative. I really, really enjoy the series and these characters. Going to be finishing the series .

Eh
For some reason I just didn't "feel" this book. I read it all so that's a plus. Right b4 Claudia said "Thomas" I just lost interest. Plot seemed rushed and non plausible. Will read the 4th, hope it's better. Sry.

This is the third book in the Blake Jordan series. Our hero stops a terrible tragedy again. Lots of shooting and running and evading the FBI, who does not appreciate our hero.
More of the same action packed novel.

lots of action & surprise ending
My 3rd book in the series. I wonder if the cyber/IT themes are possible. Hard to imagine all the action could happen in such a short amount of time. Last few pages were a shocker for me.

Blake is of course a former Navy Seal
Blake saves everyone in his universe in this great novel, like Ben Porter in False Assurances, Threat Bias, Subversive Addiction and Vital Deception!
