Special operative Joe Green has gone vigilante.  His mission, avenge his Black Ops.,Inc. brother’s death during a bloody ambush years ago in Sierra Leone.  He refuses to drag the BOI team or his lover, Stephanie Tompkins, into the hunt for the man responsible, so when he finds himself beaten, starving, and alone after being falsely imprisoned for the murder of a Freetown priest, he knows he’s as good as dead.

Joe meant to protect Stephanie when he walked out on their relationship, but he can’t stop her now from executing his escape.  Breaking him out of prison is the easy part.  After Joe’s explosive theory pans out and his cunning enemy emerges as the front runner for a high level presidential appointment, he and Stephanie must race to derail the traitor’s conspiracy if they are to save their loved ones, the nation and each other.

What a way to end a series. This book ties up all the loose ends of this series and in a spectacular way. When With No Remorse ended I tried my best to get Cindy to tell  me about this book. She resisted at every turn, and I have to say I’m glad.

Joe and Stephanie have been a couple for the last couple of books however it was never talked about, when this book picks up it has Joe breaking things off with Stephanie, and her finally washing her hands of him.

I loved this book from page one to the end. Joe is put in a position where he doesn’t have his team to fall back on and come to the rescue and has to rely solely on Stephanie when she discovers the real reason why he broke up with her and where he is. With the help of a young man Stephanie and Joe are able to escape and solve the mystery of what really happened when Stephanie’s brother died.

In the book With No Remorse Cindy introduced a new character Mike “DownTown” Brown and he once again makes his appereance in this book and it’s rumored that he will be the start of a new series and I have to say I can’t wait to see the woman that brings him to his knee’s.

If you have read this whole series then you will not be disappointed with this book and how it ends.
