Since returning from Bosnia, ATF agent Alex "Rocket" Duarte has been slowly reacclimating to life in South Florida. But when a gunrunner's car explodes, Duarte's life kicks into high gear in a high-profile hunt for what appears to be a serial bomber. Teamed up with a lawyer from the Department of Justice who herself is looking into possibly related bombings in Virginia and Seattle, Duarte crisscrosses the country, following the bomber and hoping to anticipate his next move, but as he peels away the layers of deception, the lines between friends and enemies begin to blur-and the results are explosive.

      Jonathan Davis gives a sense of realism to his narration, and that's necessary because the characters in this thriller are finely drawn. ATF Agent "Rocket" Duarte pairs with a pretty Justice Department lawyer to track down a suspect who bombed a migrant labor camp but failed to kill the intended victim. Duarte is a rising star at BATF and is highly motivated to make the collar and get a promotion. Though this is primarily a blood-and-guts thriller, the story includes a few sensitive issues. Davis handles those moments with a gentle and persuasive touch. His accents are also first-rate. A.L.H. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine

      Born's fourth thriller introduces a new hero, but an implausible premise, stock characters and some clichéd prose may disappoint fans of his earlier novels (Escape Clause
      , etc.), which featured Florida lawman Bill Tasker. ATF agent Alex Duarte, who has seen military duty in Bosnia, is on assignment in South Florida. After a wanted fugitive, Alberto Salez, whom Duarte has arrested, gives him the slip, Duarte becomes involved in a high-level investigation into a series of bombings that Deputy Attorney General Roberto Morales, an Alberto Gonzalez–like figure, suspects are the work of radical labor unions. Meanwhile, a shadowy hit man is pursuing Salez in an effort to silence him. The author, himself a special agent with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, puts little of his own real-life expertise into the plot. Despite advance praise from Michael Connelly, Tess Gerritsen and W.E.B. Griffin, this effort falls short of the standard set by top-rank suspense writers.
