출판사 설명
In this pulse-pounding thriller, former Marine Raider Matthew Redd, “a force to be reckoned with” (Jack Carr) and “the go-to man in a bad situation” (Brad Taylor), must face his greatest fears and figure out how to escape when the one way out goes up in flames.
Matthew Redd doesn’t go looking for trouble. But this time, it’s found him anyway . . . and he’s not the only one in the crosshairs.
Late-summer wildfires are a fact of life in Montana. But as an inferno nears Wellington, Matthew Redd gets the unusual call that a team of smoke jumpers has suddenly gone dark. As head of the county’s fledgling search and rescue team, Redd drops into the fire zone and finds way more than he bargained for: a killer has taken out the smoke jumper team along with two civilians, and only a terrified young boy is left as witness. Redd and little Jack narrowly escape the raging fire, and Redd calls in Gavin Kline, now acting director of the FBI, to investigate the bigger forces at play.
That afternoon, during one of her last clinic shifts before the birth of her second child, Emily Redd loses a young patient to an overdose. Fed up with yet another loss to the opioid crisis—this one a former schoolmate and a wounded veteran—Emily tracks down and confronts the retired doctor responsible for feeding her patient’s deadly addiction.
Hours later, when their home is attacked, Redd and Emily wonder which of them kicked a hornet’s nest—or if they’ve both stumbled onto pieces of a much bigger puzzle. As the fire closes in, they follow the connections from a corrupt doctor and a local opioid supplier all the way to a murdered whistleblower for a Big Pharma giant. As Redd’s concern for young Jack grows, those who want to silence him forever hunt him down. Redd will do whatever it takes to protect the boy and his family . . . even if it means he’ll have to outrun an inferno and come face-to-face with his greatest fear.

Ryan Steck’s best novel yet!
Boom! The Matt Redd series keeps getting better! from the opening pages, we literally drop into the action in a unique and intriguing scenario and that’s just the beginning. Once again, we find our hero, Matt Redd selflessly rushing to danger to help others only to draw fire and danger upon himself and his family. A great read featuring heroic measures, family devotion and unmatched integrity. We need more Matt Redd! I highly recommend this fresh and riveting series!
The dark coincidence is…
I was partway through this book when my jaw dropped watching the news of the shootings in Coeur d’Alene, ID where firefighters were ambushed by the sick 20yr old who set the fire to lure them there. I hope he didn’t get this idea from this book.
At any rate…I have to agree somewhat with the first reviewer that the scene where Emily is in labor and Redd’s so boneheaded that he thinks it’s car sickness🙄 Then there’s the truck leaping onto the “long-train-running” whole scene and distance to the bridge…Redd competing on “American Ninja Warriors” would’ve been more believable.
Creating “Jack” was the redeeming quality to this Redd series and hoping the book isn’t so far fetched.
Gone way too dark
An absolutely ridiculous storyline. Idiotic dialogue. Redd keeps blaming himself for absolutely idiotic decisions. He thinks his wife is having motion sickness and she’s nine months pregnant screaming through the wilderness with wild fires raging all around. They take Jack who is a witness to murders in protective custody and put him in the only hotel in town? Then the FBI agents don’t realize they have no exit strategy in the hotel room? Too many inconsistencies and worthless dialogue to name. Skipped to the end of the book which was predictable. Come on Ryan I’ve read better by you.
