This is an OK legal thriller about a young navy attorney named Zack Brewer. Zacks life changes in a hurry when he wins a high profile case and is offered his dream career and another high profile case that is crucial to national security. Terrorists have infiltrated the U.S. Navy to cripple the nations defenses from the inside and Zack is tasked with trying them in military court.
T
his fiction was written in 2005, but given recent events, it is amazing how true this story can be. This is a quick, easy read which concentrates on courtroom drama, not character development. Although there is some violence perpetrated by the terrorists, the author does not go into gory details.

The story is good, but there are a few problems I had with the plot. The first half of the book deals with a rape trial and I believe there are some things left unresolved there and the author just moves on to the next trial. The terrorism trial details are glossed over and needed much more development.

I enjoyed the story and wanted to keep reading the book, but the suspense did not wow me.
