Man on Edge

Watch out Mitch Rapp and Scott Harvath! There is a new action hero on the rise named Rake Ozenna. Rake is a Major in the Alaska National Guard who defeated a Russian attack on Diomede in his first outing. Now in Man on Edge the Russians want revenge for the death of their forces. Russian Colonel Ruslan Yumatov has a plan to disrupt a NATO exercise, place himself in a position of power and lure Rake to Russia.

Doctor Carrie Walker is Rake’s former fiancé whose uncle is an officer in the Russian navy, working on advancements in their submarine technology. He has information to turn over to the West and asks Carrie to travel to Moscow to retrieve it. When her uncle is murdered she reaches out to the only person she can trust - Rake. With the help of Harry Lucas, a former chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Rake is sent to bring back the information, putting him within Yumatov’s reach. It is a race to prevent an assassination and political turmoil.

From Moscow to the frozen border with Norway, this is a story of deception and constant action. WhileYumatov is a constant threat, there is someone else behind the scenes who is pulling the strings. It suggests that there is more to come and Rake will be back. If you are a fan of Brad Thor or Mark Greaney then Humphrey Hawksley should definitely be on your reading list.
