Thea Paris is back at it again, albeit this time she is one of the hostages. This action-packed sequel to K.J. Howe’s first Thea Paris novel, The Freedom Broker, has us globetrotting Europe to rescue a plane full of hostages and thwart a bioweapons attack.
Thea Paris is many things, heroine, bad-ass, female and diabetic. These traits combine to represent a character not often portrayed in books, in fact I haven’t read ANY other books that feature an action hero with diabetes. Well done to Howe for diversifying her characters and providing a representative cast to a broader population. Character casting aside, the detail in this book is uncanny, from the architecture to the fight scenes a lot is packed into these 400 pages.
However, ultimately the many plots, ongoing character development, villains and ever changing landscape made this book a dragging read. Don’t set this book down or you will have trouble remembering all the “henchman,” conflicting villains and never-ending character development.
