I was anxious to read this latest Box novel so I luckily was able to find a copy at the library not long after its release.

This was another solid outing in the Joe Pickett series! I have read all of the previous Joe Pickett novels (this is number 16) and I continue to find this to be one of the best crime/thriller series out there. In this one, Joe's friend and former black ops agent, Nate Romanowski, is offered amnesty for his former crimes if he agrees to travel to the Red Desert in Southern Wyoming to infiltrate and destroy a terrorist cell operating there. When Governor Rulon hears about this, he decides to send Joe Pickett to the Red Desert to try to find out exactly what is going on.

In addition, Joe's daughter, Sheridan had been coerced by her college roommate to accompany her on a camping trip where she ends up in the middle of the terror group in the desert. The group is working on a device that could potentially wreck havoc on America's power grid and communications. Needless to say, Nate and Joe end up in the midst of the ensuing chaos and play a major role in the resolution of the novel. Another high recommendation for this great series.
