PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Donlay's middling fifth Donovan Nash novel (after 2014's Deadly Echoes) takes Donovan, a sappy mixture of Jack Ryan and Doc Savage, to Guatemala, where Stephanie Van Gelder, his best friend's niece, has been kidnapped on a photo shoot. Donovan rushes to the scene with his devoted cohorts from Eco-Watch, his nonprofit research company, and their high-tech flying gear. Meanwhile, Donovan's estranged, brilliant wife, Lauren, recruits a brash retired FBI agent to uncover the long-term criminal networks behind the kidnapping; through it all, Lauren pauses only to get jealous of the femme fatale who attaches herself to Donovan. The action races to a shoot-out on the shores of Lake Atitl n and a desperate flight through a volcanic eruption as Mt. Atitl n rips itself apart. Donlay keeps things moving too fast for readers to get bored or think much about what's happening. The aeronautical details lend interest.
