Jack is out on a limb with working this case, the betrayals, and who to trust.
This is more political, with conspiracies, holds ones attention to figure it out. Enjoyed the audio of this and was given for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

A really fast paced story --- read in less than 4 hours and couldn’t stand to put it down --- the story has everything in it, is well written, and fun to read!

Over the top, but not nearly so much as, say, Matthew Reilly. Very different from the first book. This one is a political thriller/adventure. More like Brad Thor.

Paolinelli does another outstanding job with Betrayals, the second in the Jack Del Rio series. Jack grabbed me by the collar and drew me into his world; one of conspiracy, espionage, betrayal, and loyalty. The FBI, CIA, Secret Service, and our Armed Forces are what we depend on to protect us and our president. Jack never lets you nor his beloved Untied States of America down. The scenario depicted is not only plausible but also possible; that’s what makes your heart race. I am looking forward Paolinelli’s third, Shades, and fourth, Endgames, in the next year. Reservations, the first, was fabulous! Absolutely love his style.
