Publisher Description
Old Army buddies Fred Custer and Green Beret Hickey team up to rescue Jim Simpson, the beloved son of an old colleague. Jim's job was to handle the finances of a Halliburton-like company, but he discovers much to his dismay that the company is rotten to the core and people who should be dedicated to the mission are in fact dedicated to lining their own pockets. Now a whole lot of money has gone missing along with Jim. Custer and Hickey end up in Cairo, where they discover a dark torture prison deep within the heart of the Egyptian desert, nicknamed "The Death Factory." Action movie fans and military thriller readers will love this blend of fire-power, non-stop forward motion, and suspense.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of Domenici's unexceptional sequel to Bringing Back the Dead, Jim Simpson, a former U.S. Army Ranger now working for a military contractor in Iraq, goes on the run after he realizes his employer is out to get him. Jim gets only as far as a room down the hall, where he manages to fire off two e-mails, one to his father and one to his wife, before co-workers grab him. Jim's father, who works at the Pentagon, persuades Fred Custer, a paralyzed Vietnam Special Forces vet, to organize a rescue mission, which Custer does by gathering much of the same gang he commanded in Bringing Back the Dead. Chapters alternate between Custer's assembling the team and Jim's ordeal at a torture prison in Egypt known as the Death Factory. The action is so straightforward that readers will long for some sort of twist or surprise. A blatant political message at the end cools what little heat the author has managed to generate.
