Two years ago: Marine Corp Colonel
Amanda Collins is far away from Archer, Texas. She’s
following a lead from a snitch called the Fat Man. Collins
and her Platoon are in the sky, in Mexico, hunting drug lord
Diego Correra in Mexico. She rolls out first with Lt Rita
Ramieriz, the team leader, second, and Sgt Kira Holmes, the
sniper, third. Once in Correra’s compound they find
silence, a mass amount of blood, 23 dead police officers,
and a girl with a chilling message.
Two years later: Collins is no longer a Marine. She still
has some of her team, and she’s still in contact with
Fat Man. Her hunt for Correra is personal. She wants him and
his drugs obliterated from the earth, but his men and the
DEA are getting in her way. Collins doesn’t let that
stop her.
Patterson and Serafin keep personal descriptions to a minimum,
with the exception of Collins’ character. The main characters
are strong women. The dialogue is believable and the action
is nonstop.
Robin Miles (The Broken Earth series, Hidden Figures) narrates
the audio version. Miles has a gift for storytelling. Her
narration heightens the suspense of the storyline. She successfully
presents the warrior as well as the wife and mother in Collins
character.
