By Drea Damara 4 stars Great spy novel that draws in the reader. Realistic action and the characters leap of the page. The story flows around the two main characters, with the supporting characters adding to the believability of the story. Broken hearted and bullet-ridden, agent Caria Milosc returns to work after the attack that nearly toppled the Trinity intelligence organization. As she digs deeper into her new mission, she uncovers secrets about her boss, leaving her with a moral dilemma—show mercy or taste revenge. After a favor that nearly cost him his life, mercenary Ivan Skavinsk reunites with an underworld group he had infiltrated. Deep in the jungles of Bolivia he finds he may have pushed his vigilantism to the brink. Readers will find the story intriguing, but perhaps a bit long, with some of the later part of the book a little tiresome. Overall though it is a good read, bring back some of the missing actions and tension of sky novels of yesteryear.

by PAUL PURNELL 4 stars A fast-moving action story. Apart from the rather abrupt ending which is seeing up a second book in the series, the book flows well. James Ballantyne travels to Kazakhstan on a minor diplomatic assignment. A simple task, but he falls for the glamorous aide Ocksana Petrova, sent to guide him through the process. Fate leads him to the rescue of a US special agent who is the target of assassination by the Kazak authorities. Getting out of Kazakhstan alive will draw upon all of James’s military skills, and a lot of luck. With ambush and deception along the way, will he make it to the border and safety? How can he protect his lover? This journey through a wild country stretches every nerve The main characters are well developed, although the love relationship is a little flimsy, which ties the plot together. Set in Kazakhstan, which makes a different setting for which allows for a bit more mystery in the story - exotic, unknown locations. Overall, a good read.
