"As global tensions escalate, China attacks New York City, wiping out its entire population. Marine ex-con Nick Morrow and his team of convicts, dubbed 47 Echo, are sent on a deadly mission--to infiltrate Shanghai and shut down its computer network. Given virtually no weaponry, the crew must rely on themselves as they trek across the dangerous countryside, crawling with enemies."

The phrase "if it can go wrong, it will" describes this mission to a tee. Thankfully, our intrepid heroes are at their best when they are making things up as they go. I honestly wasn't sure if I would get into a military book, but this one was more about the guys (and girls) and their interpersonal relationships, in my opinion. The characters were so well written, you find yourself on the edge of your seat every time their mission doesn't go according to plan. The action was fast paced, which made the book a quick read. The setting was well described and helped set the mood for the story.

In summary, I enjoyed this book very much and look forward to reading the next in the series. Highly recommend.

5/5 stars.

I received a copy of this book free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion.
