Review: Gripping with good insight
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 02 9, 2013
Throws you straight into the action with a bombing on an ATF building and that's followed in rapid succession by a Louisiana plane bombing, a raid on a Moscow KGB building and a heated debate on gun control which swings between an undergraduate class, lobby groups and the Senate.While strong on action, it's always balanced well by the background debate on gun control, which intensifies as the far right get a blackmail grip on the Vice-President. Far right gun supporters might feel uneasy about scenes that hammer home some hard truths they'd rather not face. I might have commented that the author obviously feels fired-up after incidents like Newtown, but I see this book was written some time before that.Good balance between action, pace and the debate. The showdown shifting between the plane and the Chicago refuge was a fitting finale to book 2 and had me biting my fingernails down to the bone! Highly recommended.
