From Publishers WeeklyIn Cameron's uninspired sixth Jericho Quinn novel (after 2015's Day Zero), "warmongering moles" President Hartman Drake and Vice President Lee McKeon have entered the White House after both their predecessors were assassinated. Now, "very day another politician, reporter, or military officer who opposed the new administration in even the most trivial matters found themselves harassed or taken into custody" by Drake and McKeon's Internal Defense Task Force. Quinn, an agent with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, is among those on the run from the IDTF; he's allied with a number of former senior officials, including the CIA director and the secretary of state, aiming to topple the Drake-McKeon regime. Meanwhile, a dangerous new kind of thermobaric bomb that the Chinese have been developing has been stolen. The conceitthat the two people at the top of the executive branch are connected with terroristswill strain credulity, and Cameron doesn't compensate with either clever plotting or full-blooded characters.

Another great story by Marc Cameron! - Partial Spoiler AlertBy FishergirlMarc Cameron is a master story teller, and his commitment to writing is evident through the amount of research he puts into his fight and racing scenes. Cameron makes Jericho Quinn and the other characters of this series completely believable, and they age with the books, too, especially through their feeling the amount of pain they suffer each time they are cut up, shot, or whatever. I loved how Cameron exited a new character at the end of "Brute Force," as I wanted a fairly good ending.Marc Cameron is easily and by far my favorite story teller, and I cannot wait for the next Jericho Quinn installment!3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Another Good ThrillerBy P. MykytynI have read all of the prior Jericho Quinn books, and I was looking forward to this one as well. I was especially hopeful that Cameron would wind up the plot line dealing with the current POTUS and VP as they truly come across as very evil. Fortunately, the end arrived for these two. I look forward to another plot involving Quinn and Thibodaux.Another reviewer or two commented on the difficulty of following the plot of this current novel not having read previous books in the series. I think there is some history brought out by Cameron, but one might also say that there could be a bit more for those who delve right into this book without having read the earlier works. The earlier books are good, and I would encourage others who may not have read them to do so.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great Finale for a fun series.By B. ForsythI've really enjoyed reading the adventures of Jericho Quinn. The book continues to deliver an engaging plot with well developed characters that are relate-able, and this book delivers a satisfying conclusion to the series. The characters are far deeper and better developed than most of the stereotypes you see in this genre and I find that helps keep the narrative engaging. Cameron has a unique gift in making you care about even the "red-shirt" characters that appear in a single chapter and immediately die horrible deaths worthy sacrifices to to explain a minor plot point and to enrich the overall narrative.The technical accuracy and description of the physical conflicts and violence is exceptional and really improves how engaging the plots are.This is as good or better than anything Tom Clancy has published and better than most in the genre right now.thanks Marc for the great read.
