4.5 Stars Out Of 5
“God’s will can be seen in the pushes and pulls. You’re feeling the push. Now all you need is the pull.”
“You can never really know anybody, not really. There’s stuff buried deep inside all of us that we hide. A lot of times, for life. And when that stuff comes out, well, let’s just say I’ve never seen it be anything but really bad.”
“They’d have to settle for an old air force pilot, a CIA officer, a pair of journalists, and an evangelical minister.”
Oh wow, let me catch my breath! Once again, Andrew Huff takes us on an adrenaline-fueled roller coaster ride of a story. There are moments of normalcy in this book, but for the most part it goes from scene to scene of suicide bombers, fight scenes, shootouts, chase scenes, and more. Still reminiscent of a Vince Flynn and Tom Clancy, Huff also uses his unique voice and adds faith elements. I really liked how he diving further in John and Christine’s relationship with its complications of trust and the past. And John Cross is still very John Cross in this book: quiet, efficient, and with an aversion to shooting his gun for fear of taking a human life. But I also thought that Huff expanded on the human side more with Cross as he contemplates his future with Rural Grove Baptist in Mechanicsville, Virginia, my former hometown - the fictitious church has to be a play between Rural Point Road and Walnut Grove Road! Sorry, I digress. In conclusion, if you are looking for an action packed book, this series is definitely for you! On to Book 3!
