Non-Stop Action with Surprises at Every Turn:
This is the second book in this series that I've read of Bob Mayer's, and again he has impressed me. He is a gifted writer who always surprises the reader throughout the novel. I will read the rest of his series.

Very well done; gripping suspense.
Ed
A fun novel. Very much like a Tom Clancy novel.
