Description

One Man Stands Between Chaos and Control—If His Own Government Doesn’t Kill Him First.

Severin Force is a soldier’s soldier. A former Ranger, SEAL, and Delta operator, he’s the kind of guy who can kill you with a paperclip and still be annoyed about paper shortages. Now, he’s the newest recruit for Division Seven—a covert, off-the-books strike team tasked with eliminating threats before they spiral into global catastrophe.

And spiral they do.

When high-tech assassins start hijacking government systems and weaponizing small animals (yes, really), Washington is thrown into chaos. The President is compromised, national security is in shambles, and Force has just three days to track a shadowy enemy across continents before the body count—and the sheer absurdity of it all—reaches catastrophic levels.

But the deeper Force digs, the weirder (and more dangerous) things get. Betrayal runs all the way to the top, allies have an inconvenient habit of trying to kill him, and someone is clearly enjoying the chaos a little too much. Now, as the mission teeters on the brink of disaster, Force must make an impossible choice: save the country—or live long enough to serve up some well-earned retribution, preferably with a side of snark.

Packed with explosive action, razor-sharp wit, and the kind of government conspiracies that make you question reality, this relentless thriller is perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen, Brad Thor, and Vince Flynn—with a side of satire and a whole lot of attitude.

Smart, fast moving thriller that takes byways into pop culture. In addition, it’s darn funny, which lends some lightness to the thriving plot. As for for our leading man, Force is a charismatic and fascinating character–quiet but deadly. Cootsona has given the reader just enough to make you want to know more about Force. The book is filled out with a cast of quirky and nuanced characters.

I like not only the quick pace of this book and the multiple settings but the thematic, too. The protagonist is interesting and the writing darkly funny with quite a bunch of recognizable pop-culture moments.

I really enjoyed it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Political under currents are more like rip tides.

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2018

Action-packed, and full of political intrigue, this story has a plot so twisty, and an end so unexpected, neither you nor the characters will see it coming. A contemporary, compelling, and thought provoking read."
