Synopsis

From Oliver North—whose New York Times bestseller Heroes Proved was praised by Sean Hannity as “a heart-thumping ‘must-read’ for every American”—comes a gripping, nonstop thriller that could only be written by someone who has “been there, done that.”

Veteran undercover FBI agent Jake Kruse is investigating a smuggling ring in southern California when his assignment is cut short. A prominent criminal defense attorney wants to hire Jake on another kind of mission: to kill the daughter of a local crime boss.

What began as a “contract killing” soon captures the attention of the CIA, the US Secret Service, and high-level officials in Washington. The undercover agent is plunged into a deadly underworld of North Korean espionage, Hezbollah terror, and the sinister deception Iran uses to acquire nuclear weapons. Caught in a web of international intrigue that goes to the top of the US government, Kruse is forced to confront the ultimate moral quandary: doing what’s right when everything seems wrong.

Now, national security expert and decorated war hero Oliver North and former US Marine and FBI undercover agent Bob Hamer bring their real life experience to this tightly written tale of international intrigue and down-to-the-wire suspense. They say it’s fiction. But it’s all too real.

Goodreads review by Jerry

Oliver North's political thrillers are great fun! Not only are they exciting and well-written, they also feature people of the Christian faith as heroes. This was a bit harder-edged than I'm used to from him--though I was expecting brutal violence, I was surprised to see occasional profanity--but, I......more

Goodreads review by Ed

At the beginning things were kind of dull. Later on in the book things got more exciting. The hero is Jake Kruse who is undercover for the FBI. It appears that Jake is not a Christian, but when Scripture shows up in the story it is referenced to his dead wife and the influence she had on him. While......more

Goodreads review by Ross

This one was a tough rating/review for me. It was my first Oliver North book, as I was totally unaware that he was an author. That said, it took me until approx 1/2 way through the book to really get excited about the plot, and from then on, I was hooked. The downfall, IMO, was that I listened to the......more

Actually I listened to the audiobook but I couldn't figure out how to add it to my books as an audiobook. I've always loved Oliver North's books, because he has great plotlines and he's a Christian so they're clean. And his military background adds some plausibility to the thriller/action genre.

The best book of Ollie I've read, assuming Hamer helped a lot Political/military thrillers don't get much better than this. The undercover realities are exceptional. The North Korean angle certainly seems real. They're not nice...and of course Hezbollah is. Real class act. Disgusting, but the good gu......more
