For those of us who enjoy this genre of novels, I think we have a new 5 STAR author in the game! Lee Duffy is a name I think we will see over and again in future Mike Elliott adventures. The tempo Duffy sets is very effective in taking the reader emotionally up and down throughout. The narrative is interesting, believable, and exciting. I enjoyed this book every bit as much as I do all of the big-name, accomplished writers of novels involving contemporary world problems. No matter how trite it might sound, I really did have a hard time putting it down. My advice?: Try not to bend the pages as you'll want to share this book with others!

I was hooked from the first paragraph. I am female and this is not the kind of book I usually read, but I could not put it down. It gives an amazing insight into the intricate planning, determination, execution and bravery that the US military and its supporting agencies are capable of. The development of the characters and descriptions of the sights, sounds and smells are so vivid that you almost feel like you were there. It's been a long time since I truly enjoyed a book as much as I did this one. It would make a great movie! Now just looking forward to the next one.

Perfect! A tightly woven military action thriller. Good characters, excellent writing, a heart racing plot. Highlights action of ourspecial opeartions forces- Rangers, special Forces, Delta, in counter terrorism operations.
