When a small nuclear device destroys a major oil refinery near Houston Texas, the country is stunned and then outraged. The President wants to declare war against the terrorists, but until he can convince the rest of the country, he dispatches a top-secret team led by Major Jason Richter to investigate and take action against the perpetrators. Richter quickly finds that the device was detonated by a radical environmental group who have been attacking energy plants all over the world. But then he learns that the terrorists are being fed information about his team’s every movement. Now with the battleground shifted to the United States, can Richter and his team find the mole and prevent the total destruction of America.
This isn’t a continuation of Dale Brown’s Dreamland series of books. Instead this book establishes a new set of characters and the major weapons system revolves around a robot-like exoskeleton developed by Richter. The book isn’t completely about fighting battles with future technology as there is a hint of romance in the book too. :) Like Dale’s previous book, this one keeps you turning pages until you know that America is safe again – at least until the next book. If you love techno-thrillers or know someone who does ( ;) ), I highly recommend this book.
Details: Harper Torch, July 2006
Bottom line: A great book
