Barely into his 20s and already a highly decorated military hero, Army Special Forces veteran Blake Kershaw is now going to college, studying while recuperating from wounds received in Afghanistan, and planning to reenter the army as an officer after graduation. But life tosses Blake a curve when his country approaches him about using his special skills to avert a terrorist plot to detonate a nuclear device in a major eastern US city. To do that, he would need to become an operative deep within al-Qaeda’s innermost circles—changing his entire identity, even his face. A true patriot, Blake makes the journey into a shadow world that leaves friends, family, and, seemingly, even God far behind. But when things go terribly wrong, and his country looks set to destroy him, it is God and God’s people who intervene.

Critic reviews

“A hair-raising international military suspense thriller…The novel offers a fascinating, even sympathetic look into the brotherhood behind radical terrorism while showing how an operative narrowly stays alive to thwart disaster…A vivid portrayal of spy work and the inner workings of a terror cell.” ( Publishers Weekly)

Interesting story, relevant to the time but spoiled for me by the dreadful accents, particularly the British ones. Why is it that all Americans assume that the British speak like extras from a badly made, black & white film from the 1950s. The Liverpool accent was particularly poor. It’s a good job we “Scousers” have a great sense of humour !!

excellent story line but spoilt (only a bit) by some pretty awful attempts at regional/national accents.

Great plot and gripping story. I enjoyed listening to it. I would look for more books by the same author

A cracking yarn to while away the hours of a long drive. I’ll be looking for more like this.

Not bad

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

A gripping story. And it is unusual to have an explicitly Christian hero and no gratuitous bad language. A good book for its genre. Helped me get through a painful, sleepless night.

Compelling and unusual
