When I got this book I expected a good story and I got one. I had only
intended to read a page or three a day so that I wouldn't finish it too
early since I was instructed to wait to post my review until September
19th. Well, that didn't work. Once I started reading it I devoured it in
2 days. I could not put it down and was constantly on the edge of my seat.
So here I sit 3 weeks after finishing the book, finally posting my review. It was good. It is part of a series and I felt a tad lost when it would reference his past stories but, that did not detract from the story.
Boone Drake is the main character and a newly appointed bureau chief. After a series of unfortunate accidents (may have to read the first books to get the background and for more reading enjoyment) he is finally getting his life back on track. He is newly married to Haeley, adopted her son and most importantly rediscovered his faith.
But as in all good stories the poor hero must go through more trials. A kidnapping brings Boone to Beijing and into the world of human trafficking at a time when Haeley needs him the most. Boone relies on his skills and those of his fellow officers to remedy this situation before it's too late for the child.
Jerry B. Jenkins is a good story teller. He keeps you rivited from page to page. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys action stories.
I received a complimentary copy through the Tyndale Blog Network in
exchange for a review. I was not required to provide a positive review
and all opinions are my own.
