Description
"Nonstop action at a machine gun pace. If you aren't reading Nick Petrie, now is the time to start."--C.J. Box
Peter Ash tangles with dangerous enemies and terrifying technology in the newest thriller from bestselling author Nick Petrie.
A man wanted by two governments, Peter Ash has found a simple, low-profile life in Milwaukee, living with his girlfriend June and renovating old buildings with his friend Lewis. Staying out of trouble is the key to preserving this fragile peace . . . but when Peter spots a suspicious armed man walking into a crowded market, he knows he can't stand by and do nothing.
Peter does interrupt a crime, but it wasn't at all what he'd expected. The young gunman appeared to have one target and one mission--but when he escapes, and his victim vanishes before police arrive, it seems there is more to the encounter than meets the eye. Peter's hunch is proven correct when a powerful associate from his past appears with an interest in the crime, and an irresistible offer: if he and June solve this mystery, Peter's record will be scrubbed clean.
While Peter and Lewis trace the gunman, reporter June digs into the victim of the incident, a man whose face rings a bell in her memory. As their parallel investigations draw together, they're thrust into the path of a ruthless tech thief, an eerily cheerful assassin, a brilliant and troubled inventor, and a revolutionary technology that could wreak devastation in the wrong hands. But for Peter, even more is at stake: this investigation is his only path to a life free from the threat of prosecution or prison. Before the end, he'll have to fight harder than ever before to ensure that freedom doesn't come at too high a cost. . . .

4By Handsome SmittyGood thriller, hits all the right notes. PTSD schtick gets wearisome…you can feel the author pulling the strings at times.The Breaker
1By Plano skywatcherHorrible! Stopped half way thru! No realism.Good one
4By jmit22Started off a little slow but about a third of the way into it, it started picking up the pace. Not his best work but definitely enjoyable. Looking forward to the next one.A future that could happe
5By nickbraun1Enjoyed the book and story. A great diversion from the country’s current state. Absolutely agreed with the authors comments at the end of the story. For what it’s worth I highly recommend this book!More like The Hunger Games
4By Lang9924While it feels good to check back in with Peter, Lewis and June, this felt strange. The plot seemed more like a fit with The Hunger Games than Peter Ash in patriot vs evil. I plan to hold back when the next one comes out until I see if we are back on course or not.The breaker
3By Three Continent MikeLike the characters, first book was best and second was also good. getting a bit too repetitive and far out for me. Think I’ll move on. MikeThe Breaker
1By gurnettjI've liked all the Petrie books but this was a major disappointment. I'll try not to give anything away but from the way the main characters were brought into the plot to the way the antagonist was identified, along with how far-fetched the overall plot was, it was all just ludicrous.
