This book is #4 in what I'm calling a ONCE in a LIFETIME series, (and you are encouraged to begin with book #1).  Not very often is a reader treated to such an opportunity as YOU can have to read such a series of books as the Alex The Fey series.  If you like your books full of: action and adventure; wholesome values of friends, family, love - of friends, family and country - character, integrity, consistency of and persistent growth of person - including making and recovering from mistakes; romance; intrigue; strength of characters; suspense; international events - this series has it ALL.What raises this series above all and makes it my Once in a Lifetime series is because the books all give glimpses into the WHAT and HOW of creating and maintaining the lifetime values mentioned above.  I remain in awe of the environment that the author has created within which the characters "live".Of all that these book give to the readers, my most favorite is the HOPE in the human condition that can be summarized in the following quote from The Fey herself.  I have to set the stage somewhat.  The Fey and her team specialize in rescuing hostages - WORLDWIDE.  Research and captive interviews show that THE most important thing that keeps hostages alive during captivity is HOPE in rescue.  Here is how The Fey creates that HOPE:"I will come to get you," she said in his ear.  "Anywhere, any time.  It's my job to show that to the men.  Not to play it safe.  Not to be safe.  But to prove to every service member that no matter what hole, bayou, jungle, frosty plain, or sand trap they are lost in, I will come for them.  That belief has saved a lot of lives."WOW - love, love, LOVE it!  Get, read, share and cherish these books; you will NOT be disappointed.
