Publisher Description

More than a year has passed since Ryan Kealey prevented the assassination of multiple world leaders in the nation’s capital. While his work is brilliant, he’s considered damaged goods. Now he’s about to become a key player in a plot of unimaginable scale. For something big is about to go down in New York City.

When a top Iranian source reveals that Iran is planning to bomb the United Nations, U.S. Intelligence begins counter-measures. Only Kealey sees it as a smokescreen for another, far more involved plot. But getting anyone to believe him isn’t going to be easy. With only his ally, London’s newest assistant chief, Naomi Kharmai, by his side, Ryan will have to operate outside the lines in order to prevent a terrible attack in a city on lockdown.

A weapon of catastrophic power has been stolen from war-torn Iraq and has made its way to the U.S. The man who has it is Kealey’s nemesis, William Vanderveen, an international criminal mastermind who has no objective other than pure terror and who will stop at nothing to achieve it. Making matters worse, Vanderveen’s being helped by someone on the inside with high ranking security clearance. Even the halls of the CIA are no longer safe from possible espionage and treason. Now, as Kealey and Kharmai race to put the pieces together, they will confront a ghost from the past and be forced to question the people they trust most in a desperate investigation where only this is for certain—time is running out.

"Another excellent book, a real page turner. 2nd in the Ryan Kealy series. Had my heart pumping. I don't like the ending, he left me hanging, now I can't wait to get to the next to finish the story. Too bad the author died, he was really very talented."

    " Suspenseful but first book (The American) was better. Archenemy survived from first book -- what a shock. A bit too heavy on the armaments, for my taste. "

    " Almost as good as the first one. The ending dragged a little bit but it was a really good read. I almost- ALMOST felt a smidgen of liking for Kohl and than had it all vanish rather quickly. Great read. "

    " The plot lines and pacing of this novel are tight and fast and make for an enjoyable experience. The character development is good to great, as is plot development. This adds to the overall suspense right through to the end of the novel. "

    " I liked Britton's first book, "The American", better than this one only because this seemed to be too much like the first one for the first 300 or so pages. It did improve in uniqueness from there until the end, however, and I did enjoy the read. Looking forward to his next book... "

    " I didn't enjoy this book. The scene setting portion of the story was slow and labourious. Over half way through the story begins to heat up but even then the action is lacking and suspense is limited. No finesse. I won't be picking up a book by this author again. "

    " This was my least favorite of his 3 books and I'm really not sure why. I think it mostly the way the characters developed/didn't develop in this one. I found myself skimming more than reading during parts of the book. "

    " I wanted a thriller, something that would make me want to sit in my chair (or lie on my bed) and just keep reading until the book was gone. this isn't it. Too formulaic. Too politically correct and rah-rah. Didn't care about any of the characters. "
