Blowback Book

This author keeps coming up with ways to keep the story fresh. In a James Rollins/Dan Brown type plot, an ancient weapon linked to Hannibal has been resurrected and is being used to kill non-Muslims, while leaving true believers unscathed, in a selective and horrifying manner. The plot twists and turns develop as much like a mystery as a thriller. The author's political views slip through occasionally, which is fine, and impact the character development and interaction.
The main character, Scot Harvarth, is likable and blessed with the gift of survival. Terrorist plot meets ancient mystery here. It's fun following Harvarth's progress around the globe. As he learns what is happening, so do we. As always, military knowledge reigns supreme and the tech and toys have a realistic feel. This author keeps me coming back.
