It wasn't just words, it was an oath, an oath of honor.

Coming into the Logan West series in the 2nd book and I have to say it can be a stand alone. I would like to read the first one just to get some back ground of Logan West but you can find all you need to know on this military thriller. It is fast paced, it is not for the faint of heart and it leaves you wanting more.

West and his colleagues are on a short time table to find out who is behind a conspiracy of all out global war with major players of North Korea, China and the United States. There is smoke but the fire is who is behind the methodical plan of upsetting the security between China and the United States. An orchestration of a very dangerous global maneuver.

You have everything in a military/political thriller of bombs going off, who can you trust, espionage, double agents, ambush, and global security, a page turner with every page. There is no lull only action!

A Special Thank You to Atria Books and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

It's a self-contained story, no need to have read previous book, yet this is a good-paced thriller. Plenty of action and twists, meeting new characters, and even losing some (Spoilers!).

non-stop action from the first to last page.
Betley takes his protagonists, Logan West & John Quick, on a globe hopping hunt to retrieve stolen technology. Is it the Russians, Koreans, Chinese, or other?
The battle scenes are unparalleled, tempered with bantering between the characters that diffuse the tension of the situations.
The political alliances forged by mutual hate of the U.S. seems both timely and alarming. Makes the reader wonder what's really going on behind the newspaper headlines...
