After surviving an unsuccessful hostage rescue and being made the fall guy, former CIA operative Ryan Decker plans to be very careful about the jobs he takes on. He is very suspicious when he's hired to investigate the death of two Border Patrol agents. It is thought that one or more of the drug cartels are responsible. While investigating, Decker and his partner, Harlow, realize that what they find just south of the Mexican border makes no sense at all. How would a cartel get their hands on robotic spider drones? It soon becomes clear that pursuing the truth will pitt them against the highest levels of the U. S. Government. Worse still is the fact that an old enemy has resurfaced and may be behind it all, including the death of Decker's wife.

The Raid by Steven Konkoly is the second book in the Ryan Decker series. If you enjoy the stories of Tom Clancy and Mark Greaney but lack the time for a 600+ page adventure, you should try Steven Konkoly. Konkoly weaves a plot that flows well, blending the reality of the world today with some literary license. His characters are well developed and at the end you will be left wanting more. I plan to go back and read the preceding book, The Rescue, and look forward to future books in this series. I also plan to try his successful Alex Fletcher and Black Flagged series.
