I'm loving this series. The level of action and suspense really picked up in this book. The realistic portrayal of the main characters makes the story... there are no aging actors here pulling off unbelievable stunts like kids 20 years their junior. Alex's military background makes the story all the more interesting because he knows things that most of us do not; he knows how to get things done. The story really keeps you on the edge of your seat with twists and turns and surprises around every corner.
