This action-packed thriller grabbed me from the first few lines and held me completely entranced as it rocketed towards a conclusion that begs the question -- "What gives you the right to determine who lives and who dies?" I could not put this down and so read it from cover to cover in a single sitting. I'm lucky enough to have the second in the series, THE ANNIHILATION PROTOCOL, already queued up on my Kindle and can't wait to dive in!
The plot focuses on the hunt for an evil cadre who are apparently designing some type of biological agent that they can unleash on the undesirable populations around the globe. Ostensibly to create a new world order that they will control and thus save the more educated and productive while killing off those who they perceive are sucking up the natural resources and destroying the planet. Can FBI Special Agent James Mason and his friends save the day? What a wild ride to find out. NO SPOILERS.
I loved the detail and the meticulous descriptions of so many different situations going on within these pages. The way the author expressed the forward narrative kept me fully engaged and the occasional humorous interjections were much appreciated. So the guy is almost Superman, who cares, it might have stretched the believability index, but it was definitely pure entertainment. The themes are certainly timely given everything currently happening in the world with COVID-19 pandemic still wreaking devastation and death. The moral and ethical decisions that are presented every day still confound every person and especially the leaders. I certainly will recommend this book to anyone who wonders about what might be going on behind the scenes or those of us believe that evil will triumph if good people do nothing.
Thank you to St. Martin's Press for this e-book ARC to read, review and recommend. I'm sorry it took me so long to get around to reading it!
This is the first of two books in a series that definitely should be read in order.
Genre - thriller, suspense, medical, conspiracy, global
