reviewed on + 10 more book reviews


To Americans the scene is agonizingly familiar. The mangled steel of a U.S. warship in a foreign harbor. The revolving loops of CNN footage. But for Lieutenant Commander Alan Craik, the terrorist attack on the USNS Jonathan Harker in the port of Mombasa, Kenya, is a call to action.

While Craik scrambles to uncover who is behind the bombing, Craik's wife, Rose is fighting her own battle, rising to astronaut training school in Houston while trying to hold her family together. Because when another bomb goes off--and danger moves even closer to the Craik family--suddenly Rose and Alan are at the center of the storm.

With the stakes rising, they are soon hit with chilling realization: that whosoever is behind the Mombasa terrorist attack may be coming relentlessly after them.
