“Finally, a thriller that truly thrills! All action, this sleek novel doesn’t waste a moment of the reader’s time–it grips the attention from beginning to end. Clearly, the author understands the dark threats of our time with an inside-the-situation-room sophistication. Strongly recommended!”
–Ralph Peters, strategic analyst and author of Cain At Gettysburg
“Bob Killebrew writes with an insider’s knowledge that will entertain those who know and educate those who don’t. I look forward to many more tales from this guy’s laptop.”
