moreadsbooks's review against another edition
2.0
This started off strong with a lot of frisson over what exactly was going to happen with intrepid reporter Tracy, reluctant former mercenary Devlin, and ruthless killer Lukas, but this fell apart so hard at the end all I could do was shake my fist Well, everyone's dead? I guess? Because no one thought it would be important to make sure that anyone else was on the boat? And Tracy gets a new job, but too bad for Alysha, and whatever oh-baby thing was going on between Devlin and his doctor, which seems to do disservice to the word improper Also cue so much mirthless laughter over the almost quaint revelation that a politician would be so tainted with his involvement in any of these shenanigans to the point that he'd drop a re-election campaign.

Non-series actioner with somebody trying to retire retired mercenaries. Stroby has a tremendous sense of pacing and he writes a good gun battle. The hero here is a little too squeaky, but it barrels along with enough brio so you hardly notice.

This will be Stroby's breakthrough thriller. All the parts mesh beautifully -- pacing, characters, plot. Terrific read by a budding master of the form.
