It's the usual from Box, lots of action, but this time there are Islamic terrorists. You do not want to put a lot of thought into this plot, IMO large pieces of it don't make sense when put together. The lead terrorist is made somewhat sympathetic, so Nate feels kinship with him as in the book with the murderous brothers, but of course he's naive. And Nate seemed pretty slow on the uptake too, once he saw what was going on he shouldn't have felt any surprise at all that someone was going to take it further. The bear's eventual re-appearance was just silly (c'mon, couldn't Box have left that unresolved?). I also felt that the inclusion of Sheridan was completely gratuitous, she didn't have to be in the story. The motive of the fake NSA guys was completely nonsensical after what he tells our boys and the Governor later on. But hey...we get some Joe and Nate bromance (but with eye-rolling dialogue: "Will this be the end for us?") and wish fulfillment with the end of the terrorist plot. Not my favorite of the series, have to say I was mildly disappointed.
