Description
Logan West returns in another break-neck military thriller as he uncovers a global conspiracy that threatens America's position in the international balance of power
Logan West and John Quick are sent to Alaska to investigate the possible presence of a Russian black ops team on a mission to steal American next-generation technology. The violent confrontation that follows triggers a global search for the stolen assets and threatens to pit the United States against China in a looming shadow-war and technology race.
As Logan, John, and Cole Matthews - the chief of the CIA’s Special Operations Group - battle their way through Spain, the Mediterranean and Sudan, an imminent threat arises at home that FBI Deputy Director Mike Benson must face: is it part of a deadly global conspiracy?

Excellent book, and so well written. Matthew Betley has done a superb job with this Action Thriller. I love reading a book that can make me laugh out loud, and entertain me with so many great characters, and a well thought out plot. One of the standouts is definitely the great action scenes. You know you’re enjoying a book, when you start to read faster and faster. Captain Jack Dawson had no idea how important his cargo would be to another country, and the lengths they would go to get their hands on it. That was until a team of killers turned up to take it. The American Intelligence Agencies certainly knew the value of the cargo, and what would happen if they didn’t prevent their enemies getting a hold of it. So they quickly sent Logan West and his partner John Quick to Alaska to start chasing it down. Logan and John weren’t your average FBI agents, and they would need all their skills from their days in the military, with the men that are trying to kill them. However they don’t have to do it alone, as they have the CIA and Spain’s Special Forces assisting them. They are quite surprised when it looks like there is more than one country involved. There is a lot to like about this book, and I’ll certainly be adding this Author to my list of must reads.
Between fast moving and heart stopping action there is humorous banter between the characters which provides a captivating atmosphere. Definitely movie material!
The Publisher’s blurb is an excellent introduction to this novel. It is also well written and the story is well structured building suspense and the inter relating of the various threads of the story.
While this is the second in the Logan West stories it is a stand alone read as well. Mind you after reading the second in the series I will look at reading the first -Overwatch.
I was quite intrigued by the characters of Logan West, John Quick, Mike Benson and in the incredible female character Amira - all of whom had real and believable personalities, though there were definitely so James Bond moments!!
Highly recommended action thriller that will keep you on the edge of your chair.
