Exciting Book!

The main character of this story is Jason Peters a former Delta Force so;dier. He is employed by Narcom. This is a company that does contract work for the American government because it is politically risky and gives the government deniability. Peters attempts to capture an arms dealer named Aziz Saud Alazar. Peters winds up with a laptop computor. His house is burned down and attempts are made on his life. The villain is the head of an enviromental group named Eco. Their leader is Boris Eglov a former KGB agent. Peters picks up an ally in the person of Dr. Maria Bergenghetti a volcanologist. They are constantly being pursued by Eglov and his goons. Eglov is planning on using a new gas called "Breath Of Earth" to conduct an assassination on the President of the United States.Their pursuit of Eglov takes them all over the globe from the United States ,the Dominican Republic to Sicily. They even discover in Baia. All in all an exciting book to read. I have now bought the Sinai Secret.

Can't wait to see what Jason does next.....

Like the previous Loomis books, you encounter many twists and turns that keep you turning pages. I can't wait for the next book. I look forward to the next Chapter with Jason.

If You Like "The Unit" You'll Really Enjoy this Read

The Gates of Hades by Gregg Loomis is a great summer read. I am a fan of "The Unit" and Gregg's book puts you in the action, with a lot of twists and turns along the way. I could not put the book down once I started it. I bought several copies to give to friends. Gregg's book gives a powerful sense of realism, sharing the highs and lows of being a former part of the elitest of fighting forces. His book makes you feel the comaraderie of being a part of a high-action, tight-knit group. You feel a part of the pyrotechnics and battle explosions. In light of what is happening in the world today you cannot help but draw similarities proving the truth is "always stranger than fiction". Grab it up for some good reading enjoyment!

quick read, a page turner..

pretty good book. the one thing i didnt like was the reasoning behind why the bad guys did their crimes. when the story gets too serious, there are a few jokes and some humor thrown in to lighten the mood.

Bravo! Gives new definition to "page turner".

I was first in line at Barnes & Noble to get Loomis' new book. I lost a night's sleep as I turned page after page of this exciting thriller. Loomis leads us on a hopscotch worldwide journey following a cast of characters with terrific personalities. The plot is complex and carefully woven into a tapestry of intrigue that can only be done by a master story teller with incredible breadth of personal experiences. Loomis is a gifted writer with the ability to combine the mysteries of antiquity and today's realities. His biting wit and humorous observations about people and cultures spices up the storyline and provides moments of comic relief as the characters work themselves in and out of serious trouble. His previous books, Pegasus Secret and The Julian Secret were excellent but Loomis exhibits a growing maturity in this work that draws you into the storyline faster and deeper. A great summer read.
