    About this audiobook

    Alex Hawke is on the hunt...

    In this exhilarating tale of international suspense, New York Times bestselling author Ted Bell's "larger-than-life hero" (Publishers Weekly), counterterrorist operative Alexander Hawke, must save the United States from a devastating terrorist operation.

    When a mysterious explosion destroys his research vessel in search of a lost river, Alex Hawke is captured indigenous cannibals and enslaved deep within the Amazonian jungle. Before he escapes, he learns that a fearsome foe is preparing for war—but against whom?

    When he regains contact with his American and British intelligence counterparts, Alex's worst fears are confirmed. The men in the jungle are highly trained Hezbollah warriors who are planning an unspeakably violent jihad against America. While the United States focuses its efforts on the escalating border disputes with Mexico, Alex vos to put a stop to the deadly plot. Aware that his mission may be the country's only hope, he travels back into the jungle to destroy the lawless mastermind who dares to threaten America's very existence.

      I really enjoyed this book.
    • 5/5
      The first few books in the series were ok, they were a great lead up to this book. This one by far was much more thrilling and had a lot more content that kept me engaged. I really enjoyed this book.
    • 3/5
      Non-stop action and (for once) plausible villains make for very good entertainment. This author never disappoints and deserves more appreciation from the political thriller fans.
    • 1/5
      A dear friend — a voracious reader who reviews books for Amazon — told me I should read Ted Bell. Perhaps I picked the wrong Ted Bell novel. Perhaps there is another author named Ted Bell. This Ted Bell is a second-rate Clive Cussler, and his hero Alex Hawke is even less dimensional than Cussler’s Dirk Pitt.This Ted Bell likes imagery: when cars accelerate, they fishtail. Always. Motorcycles, boats, airplanes too. All vehicles must fishtail! Thank goodness he didn’t work the Orient Express into the story.Fans of Lou Dobbs will love the plot: dirty brown latinos invade the USA to reconquer territory lost in the Mexican-American War, egged on by dirtier browner terrorist half-breed muslins. Chickenhawks will love the military techno-babble, especially since the author, like them, clearly knows nothing about weapons or warfare. This Ted Bell? You can have him.
    • 5/5
      In this latest Alexander Hawke adventure (this is book four), our hero is sent on a recon mission into the Amazon jungle where suspected terrorists are actively training. Hawke is captured and tortured, only to be rescued by Harry Brock at the last minute. Hawke recovers and tells his government of the danger to the US, but they downplay the importance of Hawke's intel, not believing it's a serious as he states.Meanwhile, along the Texas/Mexico border, things are heating up. More border patrol officers are being shot at by increasingly well-armed border crossing Mexicans. A sheriff in a small town finds evidence of an even larger smuggling plot that eventually leads them to a large, coordinated terrorist attack on the president during his inauguration speech. Hawke goes back to the Amazon for revenge, accompanied by Stokely and Congreve (who is decrypting an important confession letter). Congreve is captured by Muhammad "Papa" Top, the same terrorist leader that tortured Hawke. Hawke and Stokely, with some help from a few Thunder and Lightning members, infiltrate Top's jungle stronghold to stop the invasion being coordinated from there and rescue Congreve.It's quite a thrilling book, with lots of action, and very difficult to put down. I have really enjoyed the Hawke books, and hope to see more in the future. Sniper, Hawke's parrot, only had one brief mention in this book, and I had hoped to hear more about her, but perhaps next time..
    • 4/5
      This was a nice book to read. It was action packed and well written. While it is fiction, there are a number of facts that were well researched. Those facts helped me engage more with the story.
