This was a quick read and definitely had some thrilling spots. I won this in a Goodreads giveaway and have not read any other books in the lasher series. The ending though... I literally laughed out loud because i was not prepared for it to end. Especially liked that. The final fight at the near end was also anti climactic. Within a series, maybe some of the other story arcs have more time to develop and find more closure, but alone this book felt like it was missing something.

This riveting new book featuring Dirk Lasher is sure to please all who pick it up. The action is intense, the characters are complex and engaging, the pace is high speed. Brad Thor and Tom Clancy - watch out, here comes David Edward.

Excellent as all of the Dirk Lasher Thrillers I have read.
Love that you don't have to go in order to understand what is going on.

Just as good as his previous books
Lasher continues to kick butt and otherwise make things very difficult for the terrible people he is seeking to destroy.
