A deadly virus burns through the jungle, leaving nothing but corpses in its wake. Everyone flees from the outbreak—except for the terrorists intent on weaponizing the catastrophe.
Lieutenant Elliot Davis, US Navy SEAL, is sent to rescue CIA officers from their clandestine base in Goma, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and evacuate them out of the country. What they’ve uncovered sends Elliot back to the Congo, trying to prevent an attack that could spark a global pandemic.
Dr. Ikolo Ngondu runs a refugee hospital caught between the advancing rebels intent on slaughtering everyone in their path and Elliot’s mission to find and capture their leader. In the chaos of a surprise attack, Elliot’s target slips away, and the only way to find him is to plunge into the Congo’s dark, dangerous, and fevered forest with Ikolo as his guide.
Together they track a burning shadow through Africa’s broken heart, and Elliot struggles to reconcile the world he finds with the life he’s lived as a black man in the West. He looks to Ikolo for answers and finds a man with a core so bright and fierce he scorches Elliot’s soul.
Even as they race against time, Elliot and Ikolo have no idea what’s been set in motion with their mission: a dark secret lies at the center, one that leaves billions of lives hovering between life and death.
And through it all, a question burns inside Elliot, one that only Ikolo may hold the answer to.
This isn't going to be a full review, as I am still in the middle of this story, and WHAT a story it is!
Warning!
Do NOT read this right before bed or while you're eating.
It talks about viruses, and being in the jungles of Africa, I am sure you can guess which ones. Needless to say, it's pretty explicit, and to be frank, kind of gross. Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying the story, it's just detailed. That being said, it is so detailed, you hardly realize that you are, in fact, reading a work of fiction.
THAT is what i LOVE about Tal's stories. The information he gathers to put into these stories blows my mind!
If you've read his Executive Series, you'll understand what I am talking about. It's almost like HE'S the one that went through this and is part of the government, military, or a refugee doctor. Maybe he is, who knows! :p
Anyways, this story has stolen my imagination and Tal has become one of my MUST HAVES authors. I am sure by the time I am done I will have given this a 4.5-5 star rating :D
