I am not embarrassed to say it....I love Nick West.  In Jim Burkett's sequel toDeclaration of Surrender, Nick is thrust in the middle of a top secret conspiracy, based in Europe and the Middle East, which he had not requested nor been assigned.When the MO of a brutal terrorist, thought to have been killed years prior, shows up on American soil, DHS Special Agent Nick West and his former partner Dawson become unwilling point men on the hunt for this murderer.  Thousands of innocent people are killed in one European incident, and now more unsuspecting people in a small California town become guinea pigs for a cruel chemical weapon test, with disastrous results.The clock is ticking for Nick and Dawson to find and terminate this person, while safely locating the remaining chemicals before thousands, or potentially millions, of innocent people are slaughtered.  They only have hours to stop this path of destruction that is spreading across the country.American Sanctionis a terrifying story, superbly written by Mr. Burkett, with wonderfully developed characters and a wildly surprising ending.Can't wait for the next Nick West novel!!!
