I’d read the first book but I was a little lost re-engaging with the characters and all the Byzantine intrigue going on. It was like reading in a SCIF- lots of compartmentalization. Another epic shootout on the streets of Baltimore with no collateral damage- hard to believe. Then a repeat in a Miami high rise. All a side shoe for the real operation the Russians are about to unleash. Well it all ends happily ever after so I’m intrigued where Book 3 is going to go.

I started this year by reading a brand new series about this character Devin Gray and it was a really great surprise. Now it's time for the story to continue in Coming Dawn by Steven Konkoly. If you never heard of him or tried some of his books I say shame on you, he writes some great stories. I saw this series a few years ago on tv called The Americans, it was all about sleeper agents in the USA. This is also about sleepers and one womans struggle to convince the government that they exist. Sadly they wouldn't listen. Devin Gray is her son and he inherits her research and confronts the problem. This is in my mind one of the best series this year and soon you get to read book two in this amazing series. You have some great thrills and even greater action scenes combined with some nefarious plans that feels far to close to the truth these days. I have to thank Netgalley, Amazon publishing and Thomas & Mercer for letting me read and enjoy this great book and Steven Konkoly for his fantastic writing.

Fast-paced, gripping story.
That’s how I would review and title this novel.
With a very mixed group of characters, some very odd ones, but intriguing, the story kept my attention from start to finish.
I have read none of the author’s books or even the first one in the series, but I had no problem in connection with the main ones. It builds up slowly, with sparks of suspense sprinkled after each chapter, and it holds the final twist and conclusion at the highest level.
I will recommend this story to anyone that enjoys a pulse racing trip.
