The Insider Threat by Brad Taylor
4.0
I always like it when Shoshana makes her return to the series because that’s when the Angel of Death imagery returns as well. It’s all well and good to have a kickass Israeli assassin as a character, but when you give her a touch of clairvoyance and bloodlust that’s a memorable character. That’s why Carrie is the perfect call sign; she is scary in almost a preternatural way.
Once more, the story in this one was timely and prescient. It almost makes me wonder why somebody hasn’t tried to execute a similar plan before. I wasn’t sure how it would end but I’m glad they had the main villain be an ordinary teenager instead of some super spy or special forces terrorists. This was the first time I felt almost rooting for bad guy because he had lots of doubts and wasn’t highly trained.
But in the end the finale couldn’t have gone down any other way. The only payment for blood is more blood after all.
