Thea Paris is escorting two former child soldiers on a plane flying between Africa and London when the plane is highjacked. The pilot has locked himself into the cockpit and diverts the plane to a deserted airstrip in Libya.
Forced to leave the jet to investigate, Thea comes face-to-face with a former nemesis. Her old foe imprisons her in the hangar, and the plane takes off with the boys, the passengers, and the kidnapper aboard.
The kidnapper makes a strange demand for the return of the hostages: Thea must deliver a truckload of weapons and other material to a destination in Europe. Despite Thea's efforts to read the tea leaves, the motives of the kidnapper remain a mystery.
There are a lot of books in this thriller genre that I've read. But this series is more unique because of its female main character, Thea. I love that she's doing everything we would normally associate with a male protagonist, plus she has a chronic medical condition, so she's got more to deal with. Thea is exciting, brave, willing to take anything on. This book starts with separate stories that don't intersect at first, but later we see how they all fit in. Great continuation for this series.
