This book doesn't leave you waiting to get to the excitement. From the very first few pages, you know that big things are happening. I liked the author's cut and dry writing style, never giving too much away at once so the reader stays in suspense.

The characters in this book are realistic, with personal problems and thoughts like the rest of us, so that made me feel closer to them. I personally find it annoying when characters come across as too perfect or invincible. I like to be able to put myself in their shoes, and it was easy to do so in this book.

The pace of this novel keeps you reading (even when your eyes say it's time to quit) and turning pages wanting to know what happens next. I thought the level of violence was appropriate for a book like this and it didn't feel like the author was reaching for material. The natural flow works, and I liked that there were multiple characters one can respect by the end.

As for the ending, although the author sets up clues for the reader, by the last few pages I still wasn't sure of what was going to happen, and I liked the way it closed. This was an entertaining book with a lot to recommend it for anyone who enjoys books with a lot of action and intelligent writing.

I would have like to say this book was a reflection of our present time situation but this is far worse and truly gruesome. Espionage and counterterrorism covert Ops at its best and most deadly. My goodness, to think a person can think of such evil is truly beyond words, they are devious and absolutely frightful. A well written Grotesquely scary, interesting, and entertaining read.

This book is a great read, from the colorful characters to the compelling story that transports you to the front lines of a plot to release a worldwide epidemic. The actions fells authentic and the tension is palpable whether in remote jungle locales or out to sea. Shady characters and double-crosses abound, especially when black ops Mossad agents and 3rd world local dictators and mercenaries are involved. Had no idea what the outcome would be till the end. Recommended.

This is my first exposure to this author and indeed it didn’t disappoint. A wonderfully crafted story that is right on point with current affairs in the world. Fast paced with well developed characters, it is a rollercoaster ride which I could not put down. I very much enjoyed the main character, Billy, and his struggles as the story plays out. The scenarios and story line crafted by the author are very real and especially frightening! Non-stop action with multiple twists and turns leave you wondering at times who the good guys really were. It was so captivating and exciting that I simply couldn't put it down! I definitely look forward to reading other books by this author.

Thank you to NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Gallagher writes a great mystery that has you guessing until the end. The book is full of twists and turns. It's a classic Mossad caper against the ultimate enemy.
