Book Description:
a rogue CIA consultant goes AWOL from his Middle Eastern post in response to his brother’s plea for help, he arrives just in time to witness his brother’s murder. For years, Jonathan Hunter and his brother Kevin Mallory had not spoken―until Kevin’s final words, “… Khalifah … Not Them … Maya.”
Pursuing his brother’s killer, Hunter stumbles into a nest of horrifying terrorist activity by Middle Eastern refugees, which sparks a backlash across America. In the shadows, Hunter’s mentor, the omnipotent Oscar LaRue, is playing a dangerous game with Russian Intelligence. Neither Hunter nor LaRue realizes that a new threat―the Iranian threat―has entered the game. Stakes rise as two shadowy players are one step ahead of Hunter and LaRue―Khalifah, a terrorist mastermind, and Caine, a nomadic assassin who dances with the highest bidder.
As attacks escalate and the country drifts toward another Middle East conflict, innocent refugees become trapped between the terrorists and the terrorized. Prejudice, hate, and fear vent everywhere. Is this who we’ve become? Before the country explodes, Hunter must find Khalifah, learn the next terror target, and pray he’s in time to stop further annihilation.
I rated this book 5 *****'s
Life is too short, come home before it's too late
Sometimes life is not fair. We might plan to come home but obstacles stop us from doing that and before you know it, life is too late. This book is so much enjoyable to read. I really loved this story. It is so suspense and makes your heart beats faster. Topics are kinda related to what our country, USA, is facing. The author did a phenomenal job entertained his reader.
Life is full of betrayal and sometimes it is near in our heart. You just need to know the truth. Decide who is playing and find out the real person who will always support you no matter what.
I love the codes that Kevin gave to his brother Hunter before his life stopped. It brings so much fun finding it out for yourself. You thought you find the culprit but the story has a twist. Buckled-up because you are in for a bumpy ride but smooth landing in the end.
