4.5 stars - Jane Hawk is a kick-ass female Jack Reacher
Dean Koontz is at his best in this new series featuring rogue FBI Agent Jane Hawk. Her husband was forced to commit suicide by a drug implanted in him that causes brain/personality manipulation. He was an intelligent man who may have threatened the goals of the master-manipulators who invented this nanotechnology. Those individuals are on a hit list, and manipulated into committing suicides. Jane's got it all figured out after book 1 and out to bring them all down, whatever the cost, and often times it may be her very own life.
Strongly recommend potential readers start with book 1 - The Silent Corner. It will just bring you much more enjoyment as well as a good flow to the plot line. There are some references to what went on in book 1, but not enough to get a real feel for the emotional ride that it was. At times my heart was hammering in my chest, and my stomach in knots what with the situations Jane gets herself into. She is an admirable do-good-for-the people person, and some of the people she meets on this journey see it as well. The only thing that didn't set well with me was what eventually happens with Mr. Michael, the main guy she is after. Yes, it is open for continuation. Looking forward to it.
