This mission just got personal.
But as he sets his plan in motion, Jake learns something else. This attack is just the start of a much bigger plot against innocent US citizens. Jake is the only one in place to stop a campaign of terror from tearing his country apart, but it makes the man he wants untouchable, and worse, the cartel are now after him with ruthless and deadly determination. What price will Jake pay trying to save innocent American lives?

Review
Jake Parker is still struggling with the past and when he is send on a mission to Puerto Rico, this might also be a good time to clear his head and think about where his future lies.
His task is to assist, but Jake would not be Jake if this is all he would take on.
He is a force to be reckoned with. He has of course a past that helps him to see through the traitors and track them down to put a stop to their actions.
He is the shining star in this action packed book finding himself surrounded by enemies. Jake is not one to be put out by this and he keeps on digging until he finds out the truth behind all the scheming.
While bullets fly left, right and center, I was dragged into this intriguing story whilst ducking behind the sofa to avoid being hit. ;). That’s how real it all felt. I liked the web of corruption and deceit Jake uncovered and was shock by how deceitful some people can be not caring who they hurt in the process. 5 stars
Thank you
