Classic Johansen

I read everything I can by Iris Johansen and eagerly devoured this one. On this one the plot was a little far-fetched but as usual she had wonderful character development. Characters I could identify with and root for. Every time I had to put it down I was looking forward to the next time.

The balance of plot, characters, intrigue and conclusion fit my taste

Yes, some of the criticisms have merit but the book fit my taste for my light afternoon reading time very well. I found it exciting and enjoyed the characters. I also liked that she avoided the need some authrors seem to have to kill off some key "good guys" for balance.

The only problem was, as our world seems to get stranger and stranger, that I wondered if parts of it were really fiction - that is, some things our government (and others) are doing may not be so different from what is depicted in the book.

Good plot, definately written by a woman

An interesting plot is rippled through the book like a rambling brook. On one side is an interesting adventure - on the other side is an idiotic romantic theme sprinkled by inane female remarks by the protagonist. If you listen to the audio book it is horrible. The reader is dreadful and takes your attention away from the story.

Not bad!

Alex Graham, a photo journalist has seen something that she wasn't suppose to, while assisting in the cleanup of a "seemingly natural disaster". While recovering, someone attempts to take her life while she is riding with Sarah and her trusted rescue dog, Monty. Fearing for his wife's life, John asks Galen to find someone who can protect his wife, hence Judd Morgan. All of these characters are reoccurring in the series, so you will recognize them, even Elena. Filled with romance, espionage, terrorist attacks, revenge and conspiracy, this is an entertaining read. Read along as Alex and Judd fight the clock to save the President's life.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen returns with an electrifying and all-too-plausible thriller that pushes the level of suspense to the maximum and never lets up. From the tense opening scene to the final explosive page, Johansen delivers a knockout novel, as an unlikely pair of allies must expose a team of killers hiding behind an unspeakable act of terror--and risk ending up their next target.

She witnesses death through the eye of her camera. Now a relentless killer is focused on her. A celebrated photojournalist, Alex Graham has seen it all--but her latest assignment has forced her across a dangerous line. What happens when a reporter does more than just report? She has recorded some of the most tragic and heartbreaking of catastrophes, everything from natural disasters to infamous acts of terror. Her experiences have left her forever marked with the human side of tragedy. So when a dam breaks in Arapahoe Junction, Colorado, Alex is once more at the site doing more than just snapping pictures--she is in the mud with a shovel digging for survivors.

What happens when the reporter becomes the story? Alex finds more than she bargained for. In one terrible instant, she is witness to a conspiracy that will stun a nation. The official story is just a cover-up for a truth so frightening, so unthinkable, anyone who threatens to reveal it must be silenced. Forever. And now that someone is Alex Graham.

The first attempt on her life is swift and brutal. Only barely escaping, she finds an ally in an improbable source. Billionaire financier John Logan has his own reasons for protecting Alex, and these reasons alone are likely to get her killed. Using his vast connections and influences, Logan assigns a bodyguard to protect her. Judd Morgan is the best covert commando in the business, and if anyone can keep Alex safe, it?s this quietly dangerous man. The problem is, Alex doesn?t want to be kept safe by Judd, whose checkered past has made him the target of an unseen assassin who dogs his every step.
