In a riveting plot of investigation and intrigue, the FBI faces the onslaught of racial violence and strives to put an end to it all. Special Agent Douglas Rabson, forged by a traumatic history that is marred by the Holocaust, must face the resurgence of racism and anti-Semitism. The case unfolds as sharpshooter Corporal Jacqueline Diane Lynch becomes a prime suspect, and her Marine background raises troubling concerns. Eventually, a dark revelation emerges, at the heart of which are plutonium theft, a bomb plot, and plans to ignite a race war. Code Name: Juggernaut by Sherman E. Ross is a spine-chilling book about a quest for justice and the battle against hatred and extremism.
The characters in this novel display a hard edge of ruthlessness with psychopathic characteristics. While the characters' personalities can come across as shocking at times, it also adds a layer of suspense as readers get the feeling that they can and will do anything to achieve their objectives. What made it more addictive is the sophisticated background stories of the characters and how they merge smoothly with the present events in the story. Jackie, who used to hunt with her father and was once a Marine, is such a deadly character that she doesn’t shy away from plotting to kill a man she is romantically involved with. I couldn’t wait to see justice served and the villains apprehended, even though they also appear somewhat likable and intriguingly eccentric.
The theme of racism is clearly portrayed in the book, and its racist characters are completely brutal. Code Name: Juggernaut is best for readers who have a high level of tolerance for triggering topics since its villains use racial slurs, plot to claim lives, and carry out acts of violence (which are vividly depicted). However, readers who appreciate fictional stories that don’t sugarcoat real societal issues will love it.
Code Name: Juggernaut is a captivating, suspense-filled read from start to finish. Moments of sickening horror and triumphant justice are combined expertly in Sherman’s thrilling fiction. While I hope things never get as bad as what transpired in the novel, it helped me understand the mentality that drives extremists and psychopaths and gave me an unforgettable experience!

Readers’ Comments
“A compelling thriller with all the elements – fast-pacing, evil antagonists, and a determined hero. It’s not Hemingway, but you get what it says on the tin. Perfect for a long flight.! Male reader, aged 43
“A suspense-filled thriller with three well-developed central characters. The author works hard to keep the pace going and the plot twisting. If you enjoy Clive Cussler or The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth, you’ll probably enjoy this.” Male reader, aged 27
“A little technical in parts, killing the pacing. But, overall, it’s a solid, smartly-plotted thriller. The writing style is workmanlike which is often what a good thriller needs. Secondary characters suffer from lack of development, and the dialogue is a little wooden. Enjoyed it, but there are better thrillers out there.” Male reader, aged 58
“Written by an author who’s happy to shock. This is not normally my sort of book, but I enjoyed an afternoon on the sofa with it and, although it’s rather blandly written and the character/setting descriptions lack oomph, it’s still a fun, thrill-a-page adventure. Dark, gritty in parts, the sort of book you enjoy, put back on the shelf and pick up the next.” Male reader, aged 65
“I liked this. I’d happily pick up another book by this author.” Male reader, aged 19
To Sum It Up:
‘A thrill-a-page, fast-paced thriller packed full of twists and turns.’ The Wishing Shelf Book Awards
