ABOVE AVERAGE THRILLER

THIS BOOK WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE ME LOOK FOR MORE IN THE SERIES?

action mano vs. mano thriller

Gabor Turko knows his terrorist cell of Pakistani is running late in their assignment to blow up the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The homeland Security Advisor to the White House is on the case but what he is unaware of is that his team was involved in a car accident and fled the scene just before a minor explosion occurred, killing a family, but not the target. Coast Guard Admiral DePayse assigns Investigative Service Agent Warren Officer Erik Westman to the joint investigative team. Not long afterward, a guilt laden near death former Air Force pilot Burt Shilling confesses that he and his crew dumped a nuclear bomb into the DEEPKILL off the Delaware coast. Though official DC leaders insists this is the rambling of an ailing man, Turko and his associates want to see if this is true and if they can retrieve the bomb. If this takes place, , a weapon of mass destruction will be in the hands of a terrorist who wants to destroy America. Not willing to take any chances Westman tries to stop the terrorists who believe they have nothing to lose. DEEPKILL is an action thriller that grips the audience from the very first page up the until the final battle. The fast-paced story line moves rather quickly as the Air Force remains in denial while terrorists take a chance that a bomb was dropped off the eastern seaboard. Erik is a terrific hero, but it is Gabor who captures the reader's attention with his cavalier nonchalance over killing innocents to reach a target. Fans of tense mano vs. mano thrillers will appreciate Michael Kilian's hyperspeed novel. Harriet Klausner
