The Libyan Diversion 4 stars

The 5th book in the Marcus Ryker series finds Ryker recovering from his ordeal of being kidnapped and tortured by the Karios terrorist group. Before he can even mend from the injuries, he has thrown himself back into the hunt for remaining members of the group.

With his team, and Annie is back, he sets out to destroy Abu Nakba, the leader of the terrorists once and for all. With rumors flowing hot from the press corps Ryker is thrown to the Washington wolves-but mirroring the title-it is all a diversion.

Rosenberg is well educated on the politics and counties in the Middle East. He brings this and his excellent storytelling, timing of suspense and plot, to the table. I have read all his series and this has become my favorite. In Ryker he has created a perfect thriller protagonist and I am hoping this becomes a long series.
