    About this audiobook

    “GRIPPING AND GRITTY.”—Richard North Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author

    A school under siege. A shooter in the classroom. An all too common American nightmare unleashed again. But this time, former Delta Captain Jake Mahegan happens to be on the schoolgrounds checking in on the daughter of a colleague. Instead he’s staring down a suicidal gunman rigged to blow. During the standoff another attack begins outside the school. The gunman goes down, Mahegan is knocked unconscious, and a twelve-year-old autistic girl is kidnapped. Mahegan knows his mission before the smoke clears, but where it takes him is unimaginable—deep into a widespread conspiracy that threatens the nation’s very core. Treason in the highest halls of government. And only one man is prepared to stop it—or die trying . . .

    “An explosive, seat-of-your-pants thriller!” —W.E.B. Griffin and W.E. Butterworth IV on Sudden Threat

    “Mahegan stands out from the crowd of usual thriller heroes.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

    “Topical, frightening, possible, and riveting.” —James Rollins on Sudden Threat

    “This one truly kicks butt. Crackling with action and tension, it’ll hold you captive from the first page until the last.” —Steve Berry, New York Times and #1 international bestselling author

    • 3/5
      The first book was great, but lost me on the second one. Love the story line, but the plot got just to unbelievable. Tangos capable of tracking everyone, listening to phone calls, hack the FBI to change the status of our hero to be killed on site, super swarming nano tech, live satellite views down to fine resolution but yet the idiots can't shoot or drive SUVs to save their lives....jut got tired of it...
    • 5/5
      Great action, plenty of story lines to keep you engaged, always enjoy this author.
