I was a little nervous going into this book as HEA is not Matthews style, but I so wanted one for Domi, Nate, and the rest of the CIA team. However, Matthews did deliver a solid end to his trilogy in my opinion, with an intricate global tapestry of spy work, with fascinating cause and effect relationships that caused no end to the tension I felt.

There were definitely elements of the storyline that I was not happy with, but they did however ring true with the characters and the world that Matthews had built, so I'll have to be satisfied with that. 

I wish he had written more novels before his passing.
