vabookworm703's review against another edition
2.0
I found the third offering of the Tier One novels very disappointing. While the action and battle scenes contuine to be top notch, everything else was lacking and, at times, eye roll inducingly bad. I found some of the characterizations of the antagonists a little too clichéd and devoid of nuance. The reliance on too many spy/thriller troupes (double agents, triple agents, honeypots, workplace tension, sexual tension, secret illness, jealousy, backdoor deals, skulduggery) made this volume very predictable with the "twist" being telegraphed long before it happened. I sincerely hope this volume was an anomaly and the rest of the series returns to the form of the first two books.

"'This place', she said, gesturing to the grounds, 'reminds us of our charge. We do our jobs not in spite of these things, but rather because of them. If we stop, or if we fail, then the Tel Aviv that nearly a half-million people call home will disappear.'”
[Israel] At war since creation, yet, people are still blinded by this fact. Terrible. Thanks for writing fella's. Another great read.

This is a realistic military series that I originally picked up just to see if it would be a worthy title to recommend to my students. A covert government black-ops unit gives up their real identities to protect America from terrorist attacks. It is well done and unfortunately relevant to our times.
