Beschrijving uitgever
Are these the last days of America? A thriller starring “a compelling, never-give-an-inch hero who will appeal to Jack Reacher fans” (Booklist).
In the aftermath of a devastating biological attack, America stands on the brink of disaster. The President of the United States is controlled by terrorists. The Vice President, global mastermind Lee McKeon, is plotting his next move. And special agent Jericho Quinn is running for his life.
Desperate to clear his name—and expose the conspirators in the White House—Quinn must race against time before McKeon can execute his evil plan. It begins with heightened security, mass surveillance, and the establishment of a brutal police state. It can only end in the takeover of America. The only thing standing between democracy and destruction is a man named Quinn…and one perfectly aimed bullet.
From the New York Times-bestselling author of Tom Clancy Oath of Office, this heart-pounding thriller features “a formidable warrior readers will want to see more of” (Publishers Weekly).
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In 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 conceit that the two people at the top of the executive branch are connected with terrorists will strain credulity, and Cameron doesn't compensate with either clever plotting or full-blooded characters.
