In the past,
I have been able to read Dead Reckoning and two of the books in the A Breed Apart series: Trinity and Beowulf, all great books by this
author. When I had the chance to read
this book, I didn’t hesitate.
Dean is the
leader of Raptor Team and has endured a great deal. Zahrah is the daughter of a powerful retired
General in the United States and has come to Afghanistan to teach
children. When her particular skill set
puts her life in danger, Dean takes it upon himself to try and keep her safe.
Someone has
gotten a hold of a military computer and needs Zahrah’s exceptional skills to
unlock it and decode sensitive information.
Getting a hold of her isn’t terribly hard when Dean is sent on a wild
goose chase, but when Dean ends up captured as well, will Zahrah buckle under
the stress and give the captors what they want?
This book
was great. It has action from beginning
to end, and when the man behind the entire thing escapes, we have a great
lead-in to the next book. Hawk is the
next book in the series and is scheduled to come out fall 2014. That leaves Falcon scheduled to come out
spring 2015. These characters are in
Raptor 6, and with the evil villain story line not resolved, I can’t comment on
whether these would be okay to read alone.
Reading the torture was hard, but you can tell that the author does her
research and the excellent writing makes the book hard to put down. I’ll be on the lookout for the next one in
this series for sure! Good Book!
*I received
a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an
honest review.
