My brother recommended this book to me and I was not disappointed! This was a fast-paced political thriller in the Vince Flynn/Brad Thor vein. The protagonist FBI Special Agent Odysseus Carr (Odi) is on the FBI's Counterterrorism Response Team. He has been assigned, along with his team, to take out a terrorist training location in Iran but when they get there, it is apparent that the site is really a hospital treating injured children. And then his entire team is apparently attacked and killed but was it terrorists or something else? Odi survives the attack with the help of an Iranian doctor named Ayden who convinces Odi that he was setup by his superiors. Indeed, Odi turns up a nefarious conspiracy by the heads of Defense contractors and high-placed government officials to instigate terrorism for the benefit of the contractors and others. Well Odi sets out to take revenge using a very potent weapon that he has developed. Ayden is helping him in this but is he just using Odi for his own purposes? Overall, a very fast-paced, tense thriller that I would highly recommend!
I really liked this book. I'm sorry it ended as I have become somewhat attached to the characters & wish to read more about them. I hope Mr Tigner writes more adventures with these characters. I recommend this book to all who appreciate a great fast paced thriller.
