What a great book! I really enjoyed the character of Jack Swyteck. I also liked the short chapters, makes for an easy read when you're busy with work and home life!

A good fast pace read. I had forgotten that I've read the book a while back, but had forgotten the main twist making it a good re-read.

Thrilling fast paced adventure. Though jumping into book #8 of a series leaves some unanswered questions, Grippando writes to bring you into the characters lives.

Really like the character Jack Swytek. He was trying to help out his dad who was asked to be the next vice president and gets pulled into a conspiracy to bring down the president. Lots of different groups involved and he has to sort out the good guys and figure out who is telling the truth and who isn't all without getting killed. He is kidnapped and his girlfriend, who is an FBI agent is involved in the hostage negotiations.
The ending was not what I suspected so I liked that.
