Logan Harper is the tortured soul returned home to hide and continue his emotionally defeated way of life. Every unsatisfying relationship, every mistake, every loss is his fault, caused by his failures.  At least that's what Harper clings to as the truth. It takes a lot to guilt him into action to save a friend's granddaughter after her kidnapping.For Logan's sake,  it's nice that his father is connected to some retired Marines - Vietnam era style - and that in his past life his military experience opened doors to a lucrative private security defense contractors job, all of which pays the freight for his chasing down the bad guys from SoCal to Thailand. But don't all these thrillers require suspension of belief??Battles writing style is succinct, easy to read, believable dialogue for the most part albeit somewhat limited character development.  Sometimes you'll want to shake Logan for his self pity, but most the time you'll cheer him on, especially when he tires of the self rightness, self serving behavior of those who get in his way. Fun read; enjoy.
