Publisher's Weekly Review

This unrelenting thriller from Fox News commentator Hunt and Piniero (The Fall), their first collaboration, offers constant action, sympathetic heroes, believable evildoers, and absolute authenticity on every page. Shortly after ISIS sets off an atomic device at Bagram Airfield, the largest U.S. military base in Afghanistan, terrorists drive a massive oil tanker into the tip of Manhattan and detonate a second nuclear device. The American president, Laura Vaccaro, sets up a secret action team to hunt down the perpetrators. The stakes escalate when CIA officer Bill Gorman informs Vaccaro that there's another bomb headed toward the U.S. A number of exciting subplots raise the suspense. What's particularly refreshing is the authors' willingness to give readers a vivid picture of brave men and women attempting to stop destruction, without shying away from relating what happens when they fail.

Booklist Review

ISIS acquires a nuclear device, and the unthinkable happens in Hunt and Piniero's terrifying novel. The first target is Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan, and the next is in the middle of Battery Park in New York City. The newly elected president and her team not only have to deal with the ramifications of the devastation, but also must find those responsible. When they learn that there are more targets, their race against the clock is intensified dramatically. Several characters help propel the compelling story line, including an FBI special agent, some Special Forces team members, and a CIA station chief. The authenticity of the story makes the tale particularly terrifying, especially at a time when real-life international relations appear unstable. A fine apocalyptic thriller right up the alley of Clancy and Thor fans.--Ayers, Jeff Copyright 2017 Booklist
