Book Blurb

The face of terror is hard to recognize—especially when it’s homegrown.

Blair Powell is set to join her father on the campaign trail even though a domestic terrorist group has already launched one attack on President Andrew Powell's life. The orchestrators of the assassination attempt are still at large, and Andrew's opponent is a popular ultra-conservative with questionable ties to the radical right. Blair's wife, DHS Deputy Director Cameron Roberts has been charged with the task of tracking down those responsible for the attack, while secretly searching for proof that a powerful senator is involved in treason. Cam has an ace in the hole no one knows about, however—an agent deep undercover in the stronghold of a radical militia group, FBI SA Loren McElroy. Cam's biggest challenge is running the terrorists to ground without getting McElroy and her renegade handler, Skylar Dunbar, killed in the cross fire.

 

Book Review

I have just completed the entire Honor Series collection. I started with the ninth volume, which unquestionably whetted my appetite and I may just choose to revisit it since book eight provided some tantalizing foundation information. To date, this is unquestionably the most impressive, involving, and inimitable potpourri of stories I have read. With both extraordinary characters and phenomenally intricate plot assemblages, the journey from beginning to my current ending is simply incomparable. I do recommend, if possible, that you read the entire group in order, however, I am confident having read everything so far, each story is a treasure in and of itself. Phantasmagorical!

Indisputably and once again, Cameron Roberts and Blair Powell are simply a nonpareil couple. Cameron currently leads a special task force under the rubric of Homeland Security. She is a paragon within her work scenario and possibly a pinnacle as Blair's lover. Being human, she has flaws and she has enemies, but from my perspective she is the finest and most complete woman I have ever known. I love her unconditionally, which is a tad easier to actually do since she is such an artfully embellished fictional character. On the other hand, Blair is a total delight being unpredictable and at times passionately explosive. Nevertheless, she is an accomplished and successful artist with kaleidoscopic talents plus emotions supported by her highly volatile feelings and beliefs. Blair is also the daughter and only child of the president of the United States. Oh, by the way, both these women are stunningly beautiful as well as consummate professionals. I need to hope there will be many additional books in this series so I will not tumble into an indefinite period of mourning. Respectfully requesting!

Skylar Dunbar, generally called Sky, has taken an undercover name of Lisa Smith. Loren McElroy is the highly complementary other member of the second couple in this book. Sky and Loren are affiliated with the FBI. So a bit of inter-agency folderol gets into the mix in book eight since Cam is with the Secret Services. Also, Sky is Loren's handler. They generally communicate via phone on a regular basis, although not regular enough from Sky's viewpoint. However, something large and urgent comes up on the scene requiring Sky to go undercover within Loren's territory. Sky presents herself within Loren's world as a super-sexy gal who noticeably and actually prefers lady partners. She is also, apparently, an accountant sent by Jerome, international president of the Renegades...the name of Loren's biker crew. So Sky cuddles up to Loren early on before she completely convinces Loren that she actually is her handler on an undercover assignment. The group Loren is attached to is a biker pack also called the Bitterroot Renegades in the woodland wilds of Idaho where she has worked her way in as a proficient grease monkey plus a very accomplished procurer of goods under the radar that the gang can sell for a handsome profit. After two and half years, Loren now appears to be fourth in command and considered a voting member. The eventual major confrontation involving Loren's clan is truly a nail-bitingly exciting tug-of-war par excellence. Wow!

This is a spectacular and marvelously constructed thriller involving long-term characters from the series and wild and wooly right-wing paramilitary groups. I could not put it down. Ergo, I totally recommend this for the action, the sexual heat, and the mind-boggling peek into the world of radicalized Americans, plus the staggeringly grand conclusion. Electrifyingly exhilarating!
