Exciting

I would have done better to have read a few of the earlier books in series, but the story still grabbed me and held on tight. Definitely riveting. Ryker has a prosthetic mask to wear because of extensive burns to his face and elsewhere in the course of his career but doesn't let it slow him down at all. He works with others who have similar agendas in the US despite his home country being Great Britain. Dramatic! I requested and received a temporary uncorrected proof copy from Boldwood Books via NetGalley.
