For fans of LT Ryan, David Archer and Blake Banner...

Doyle is in for the fight of his life...
An assassin is using a nerve agent to take out his targets...
And he has Doyle firmly in his sights...


Max is back in the second installment of the Max Doyle thriller series.


A former NSA agent who's been selling classified information, is waiting at JFK for his girlfriend and partner in crime, unaware that she's been murdered in Times Square by somebody using a deadly chemical.

Max Doyle and Nathan Kane are called in to help take him down at the airport before he can board his plane to London.

Then the team are called in when a Russian Diplomat and his bodyguards are attacked in Central Park. The same nerve agent used is one thought to be long ago destroyed. Who is using it now? And where did he get it?

Then Doyle finds out that his nemesis is back in New York. A former Delta soldier and military contractor, he last saw Sean Hacker through the scope of a sniper rifle. After a deadly confrontation, Hacker disappeared. Now he's back.

Once again, Hacker hits close to home, but this time, Doyle is going to make sure there's a very different outcome...

Another great story

Also more than one plot . Max Doyle is reunited with his daughter Sally , living in NYC, and working for Phoenix Company . The bad guys from book 1 are plotting more disasters . A couple of people are killed with nerve poison . Multiple bombs at a museum, kidnappings . Mr. Carson writes pretty good American for a Scot, however you can see his roots in phrases and words.

Very confusing!

This an author I like very much, but this novel he must have been having a nightmare to think that his characters needed have nicknames to a point where I could not distinguish who was who.I trust that my comments will not prevent John Carson from writing more of.his very entertaining novels.

Max Doyle

A little bit too Rambo for my liking, but if you skip the gory bits, then a fun read. I'll probably read the next one at some point
