Publisher's summary

Barely into his 20s and already a highly decorated military hero, Army Special Forces veteran Blake Kershaw is now going to college, studying while recuperating from wounds received in Afghanistan, and planning to reenter the army as an officer after graduation. But life tosses Blake a curve when his country approaches him about using his special skills to avert a terrorist plot to detonate a nuclear device in a major eastern US city. To do that, he would need to become an operative deep within al-Qaeda’s innermost circles—changing his entire identity, even his face. A true patriot, Blake makes the journey into a shadow world that leaves friends, family, and, seemingly, even God far behind. But when things go terribly wrong, and his country looks set to destroy him, it is God and God’s people who intervene.

Critic reviews

“A hair-raising international military suspense thriller…The novel offers a fascinating, even sympathetic look into the brotherhood behind radical terrorism while showing how an operative narrowly stays alive to thwart disaster…A vivid portrayal of spy work and the inner workings of a terror cell.” ( Publishers Weekly)

Great audio book!

Loved this book start to finish. Good story, but the audio was extremely well put together. Not the typical one person reading all the lines. That made a good story, a great audio book! Will listen to the rest with this cast.

A action book without cussing or sex.

Clearly defined bad guys, no cussing, no sex, and the main character praying for God’s help and talking about bible verses. Quite refreshing.

A very good story.

Well written, interesting & entertaining. I found it slightly different from the norm, which made it thoroughly enjoyable. I liked the accurate detail & the fact that it was not over the top. A really good story.

Top notch action novel without all the sin and debauchery

This story weaves a plot that deals with moral choices that have to be made under extreme duress. The characters are very believable and the story is balanced.

I would recommend this listen to anyone looking for a break from foul language and sexual exploits while keeping a great story line continuing.
