Date: 10 24, 2013
Blake picks up the story line from Jet 1 and has the son of Grigingko seeking vengence for the killing of his father. Jet has settled in Uruguay with her two year old daughter, Hannah. All is well until a hit squad of Russians corner her in an abandoned building. She manages to eliminate all but one who gets the drop on her. She believes that she has taken her last breath when a shot rings out.Her savior is Alan, the half brother of David, the father of Hannah. He is a Mossad Agent on a mission to track down those involved in a plot to make and sell weapons of mass destruction to middle eastern insurgents. His information leads him to Uruguay where he learns the Russians have traced JET.He sets up a surveillance and fortunately is able to act in time to protect Jet from her assassin.Jet now realizes that she must move Hannah to a safe location and return to Moscow to eliminate Gringko's son if she expects to live in peace with Hannah.Author Blake is a master of character development. We like Jet. Now in book 3 we know she is extraordinary, fearless. She holds our attention.He also describes locations with enough detail that we can visualize what the plot needs to keep the action moving.There is enough difference in the dialogue to distinguish the characters and provide additional information besides the narrative.Even though the plot is familiar it is propped up by the fast action scenes. We know that Jet will prevail...duh..because there are two more books in the series, but with Blake behind the pen, we just don't know what lies ahead for our heroine.I am a bonifide fan of Russell Blake and I am in the Amen Corner with all the other 5 Star fans. Keep giving all of us the good old "escapist" reading Russell . Thanks again !
