It would be impossible for me to be anymore of a Carolyn McCray fan than I already am, but I can still be amazed and awed by her new books! Van is the female protagonist, and is beautiful, bold, cocky, head strong, and that's just after meeting her in the first chapter! Some of the new team that her boss has assembled for her under the UN, titled NMRT (Nuclear Materials Recovery Team) seem to have questionable skills and/or motives, so Van has to resort to calling family, friends and former colleagues for intel. Oh, did I mention her boss is a former Somali Pirate Captain? Yes, you read that right, PIRATE! So his motives are just as suspect as some of the teams.Van is the only daughter to a former high powered General, who is in the VA hospital and only a shell of his former self due to Alzheimers. He has formed a bond with Adain, a highly decorated war hero that has no use of his legs, but he is ruggedly handsome, and wants Van! Her five brothers, all of whom are Military, have almost as much combined security clearance as the President. So there is just a peak at Vans life and upbringing!She is hot on the trail of a bomb maker who has supposedly made the first suitcase nuke and is planning on detonating it at a high powered summit in just 3 days. She runs into Brandts team, Lopez, Svengard and Davidson out in the field who are all called into action to save the President and Country. If you don't know who Brandt and his team are, you have GOT to check out the completed "Betrayed" Omnibus by Carolyn McCray.This is one book and series that will keep you planted in your seat from beginning to end!
