Treason

By Pete Earley and Newt Gingrich

Book Overview

Major Brooke Grant must track down the double agent who is infiltrating the U.S. government in this international thriller from influential politician Newt Gingrich and Pulitzer Prize finalist Pete Earley.

Brooke Grant has been waging war against terrorism since her parents were murdered during 9/11, keenly aware that violence transcends borders. But after a coordinated attack on the president at a Washington power broker's funeral, she realizes that the enemy is closer than she'd ever imagined, hiding in plain sight. The Falcon has gained a weapon no terrorist has ever wielded before: an American-born traitor burrowed inside the U.S. government itself.

Major Grant's deadly chess match with the Falcon turns personal when he issues a fatwa against her and those she loves. Can she unmask the traitor and stop the Falcon's most skilled assassin sent to kill her before he strikes? Or will she fall victim to betrayal by a false friend in this gripping story of treachery, courage, and the patriotic fight against evil?

In this realistic tale of modern-day treason, a nation fights for its life against an internal threat: a fanatical jihadist who uses liberty as a shield while trying to destroy the civilization created in its image. With decades of knowledge in national security and politics, only Newt Gingrich and Pete Earley could spin such a vivid mix of reality and fiction -- a page-turner that dares readers to guess where the line between the two is crossed.

Customer Reviews

Newt Gingrinch and Pete Earley join the ranks of the top thriller writers like Clancy and Cussler

"Treason" is the second book in the Major Brooke series and ranks up there with Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan (Sr and Jr) and Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt series. Read the first one ("Duplicity") before this one! After finishing these two, you will want to have "Vengeance" handy to complete the vengeance of the Major. The trite saying of real "page turners" applies to all three of this series. I actually read "Vengeance" first and do not think it took away from going back in time to complete the story of the Major's adventures.
