Jack Patterson's 'The Warren Omissions' follows former CIA intelligence operative James Flynn on a mission of adrenaline, fear, danger and heroism in this page-turning ripper.Flynn, dismissed by the CIA after attempting to shine a light on a government cover-up, turns his hand to investigative journalism and uncovering the truth behind the JFK assassination.  He's already received much media attention after discovering the files that proved "Reagan-gate", and has been crowned something of a 'conspiracy theory specialist' by his adoring public.It appears Flynn's in luck when he's contacted by a woman regarding some mysterious papers related to the CIA's investigation in the JFK investigation.  However, all is not what it seems and, despite the subsequent murder of the woman who proffered the clue, the JFK investigation becomes the least of Flynn's concerns.For Flynn finds himself entangled in a web of deceit far wider than he could have ever imagined.  "An acting president hell-bent on blowing up half of Russia.  An extremist group determined to start a world war. And a former operative [read: Flynn] on his first mission in years to keep it all from happening." Most certainly a "recipe for angst on the highest level"...as well as a recipe for a thrilling read!This book has it all: excitement, suspense, terror, action...the list goes on.  Patterson has done a brilliant job of developing an intense plot with just enough twists and turns to keep the script believable and the reader wanting more.  In the style of hit television series '24', this is one plot you won't be able to extricate yourself from until the very end...and even then, with great reluctance!Highly recommended.  And at a steal of a price!
