Deutermann's books are almost formulamatic but the beauty is in the details he provides of clandestine operations and clever plans people develop to make a fast buck or exact revenge. In this one an ex FBI agent's daughter goes missing and he decides to find her himself because the authorities aren't moving fast enough. He's sort of a loose cannon but smart enough to get away with a lot.

A terrific suspense filled thriller. P.T. Deutermann has a very vivid imagination for creating a fictional based Novel surrounded by 'real' past events. His characters are molded perfectly into every scene. I first listened to it on audio, after which I had to go out and buy it. Great stuff.

Noticed this book on Audible and it had two favorable ingredients: narration by Dick Hill and had a Jack Reacher type hero, nuff said! Good story, good plot and nice character development. My only complaint is that I like series so will miss out on getting to know Edwin Kreiss better.

One of P.T. Deutermann's most intensive novels yet of a retired FBI agent being hunted by the very people he worked for in the past. This page-turner is an enjoyable read for the holidays.

Awful. Could not get through it. All that macho renegade "hero" action with a bogus backdrop of survivalist terror just turned me off. Obviously written on the heels of OK city

The inner workings of the CIA and some of its estranged members. Good story line and lots of action. Frightening to think that it could be true.

Decent book. Duetermann usually writes really "can't put down" types; this one was a bit below his usually great work, but still worth a read.

Good action packed story. Almost too many characters and twists but enough to keep the story going and interesting. Read well by Dick Hill.

The hunters become the hunted in this no holds barred techno-thriller, filled with secret weapons, double dealing, and non-stop, ever perilous action.

Sorry to say I did not find anything outstanding about this book. It is not a bad story and has a few twists along the way. It is a very typical mystery story ending.

A very good thriller. This is the first I have read by this author and enjoyed it.

This was a pretty interesting listen. If I had read this one I think it may have been too long but I listen to books that don't require me to pay as close attention as I might to something I am reading so this one was a good fit for that.

Terribly enjoyable, full of super entertaining action sequences and pithy criticisms of the FBI. In general, Deutermann does a great job of analyzing, then ripping to shreds whatever institutions are portrayed in his books. Check out Darkside and you'll see what I mean.

This is not the best book I have read, but definitely worth the time and very enjoyable. Of course there is a superman - Jack Bower type, but like jack, he is believable. Make sure you read it!

To quote my wife "It was very violent, I liked it." I'll add it would make a decent movie.
