Summary: A wonderful surprise
Comment: Only a couple of decades ago, although it seems like more, I was born in the mountains of Southern California. At this time, my father was the only pastor in a town of about 300. Brock and Bodie Thoene were our next door neighbors, strong members in our church, and Bodie was writing her first book (in which the protaganist is named after me). We lived there for only a few years but my earliest memories are of an early teenager, Jake Thoene, teaching me very carefully how to ride his former movie stunt horse (which he rode with an amazing variety of tricks). Imagine my surpise, twenty something years later, when I see that Jake wrote a book on anti-terrorism with all the elements of a book that I normally look for: action, suspense, technology, devotion to God and a wonderful plot. Like it says on the cover of the book, Jake Thoene is "The Christian Tom Clancy". His suspense is unmatched by Tom Clancy, in my opinion. He manages to put a lot into the book, keeping the reader on the edge of the seat, and not confusing things. I suggest this book to anybody who enjoys being entertained with realistic spy novels.

Summary: powerful stand-alone thriller
Comment: In Mexico, the police stop a truck driver transporting 100 barrels of sodium cyanide. They kill the driver and steal 52 barrels. Four are placed in a pick-up truck while forty were put inside a semi. They then replaced the manifold with its 100 barrels replacing it with 96 barrels. Not long afterward, the police announce that they found the stolen shipment of 48 barrels.
Agent Steve Alstead heads up the Special Circumstances Operations of the Chapter 16 counterterrorist group that was formed following the Patriot's Act. He tries desperately to regain the cherished relationship with his beloved wife and become a full time father to their two young children. However, Steve soon lacks time, as he must stop an evil terrorist attack involving 4 deadly barrels of sodium cyanide that could prove devastating to the United States.
Though references to the first novel abound (see SHAITON'S FIRE), fans will enjoy this powerful stand-alone thriller, as the bad guys prove quite clever from the start. Readers will find most interesting the debate between individual liberties vs. security as staff of the Chapter 16 group argue about surveillance. However, the key to this tale is the wholesomeness of Steve, a professional who is a religious upstanding individual struggling to balance his work and his family. His dilemma provide a superb reminder that those who try to do the right thing often do so at a high cost, and in many cases the sacrifice leads to family problems.
