Story
When retired FBI Agent Patrick Henderson calls in an 'X-Ray Sierra India' incident, the operator doesn't understand. He tells them to pass it up the chain till someone does. That person is FBI Special Agent Kimberley Reynolds. Leaving Quantico for snowbound Northern Wisconsin, she finds that a tornado has flattened half the town—and there's no sign of Henderson. Things soon go from weird to worse, as neighbors report unsettling sightings, key evidence goes missing, and the snow keeps rising—cutting off the town, with no way in or out . . .

Well done except for the continuous use of “Parker” as the cold weather jacket. If you can ignore that it's great.

Where are the rest of Earth’s people?
Reviewed: 10-30-21
I’ve Listen to eight or nine of these stories, and I have to admit it’s an enjoyable space war. However where are the Black people? Where are any Asians who lived in the United States but chose the US during the Chinese war? Where are any people from the Middle East who value the US more than some religious fatwa? This is a really serious lapse and makes the entire series open to charges of racism. Hell, you only have to look at the current US military to see the fallacy in this

As always, Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. One morning he ends up in a town near Pleasantville, Tennessee. But there’s nothing pleasant about the place. In broad daylight Reacher spots a hapless soul walking into an ambush. “It was four against one” . . . so Reacher intervenes, with his own trademark brand of conflict resolution. The man he saves is Rusty Rutherford, an unassuming IT manager, recently fired after a cyberattack locked up the town’s data, records, information . . . and secrets.

Reviewed: 10-31-20
It’s very clear that Andrew takes over from Lee at halfway point. The casual mastery of Child’s writing disappears and the back half is clumsy and riddled with logical errors. It’s still interesting bit it’s not real Lee Childs.

Story
They live in the shadows, Jack and Jill, feuding twins who can never stop running. From earliest memory, they've been taught to hide, to hunt, to survive. Their prowess is outdone only by Clare, who has always been mentor first and mother second. She trained them in the art of espionage and sharpened their minds with nerve-racking psychological games. As they grew older, they came to question her. But when Clare's safe house explodes and she goes missing, they're forced to believe the unthinkable: Their mother's paranoid delusions have been real all along.

The New Master of Modern Thrillers
Reviewed: 01-13-19
From the first sentences of The Informationist, I knew I was in the presence of a wonderfully powerful writer with all the purity and pain of Alan Furst and the reality and flavor of the modern complex world we live in. Trying to fit a spy into the tightening panopticon of our surveillance society is hard enough but to keep the power and fear of a real spy thriller intact is the work of a true master. Taylor Stevens has it all in spades.
Read her. Listen to her. Support her on Patreon.com. Rejoice in a new writer and a great new pair of characters.
