An African coup may force Josh Duffy to choose between his mission and his family in this intense thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Gray Man series.
Josh Duffy and his wife Nikki are both working for the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service providing protection for diplomats in the field. They've been sent to Ghana with a team of US embassy personnel who are there to highlight American commitment to the construction of a new dam.
Since Ghana is a stable democracy, the Duffy children have come along for a short vacation. But stability proves to be fleeting when a Chinese plan to embarrass the US means the destruction of the dam. Now Josh and his protectees are on the run caught between a Chinese hit squad and a rebel army. - from Netgalley.com
This eARC was received through Netgalley.com and I am providing an unbiased review.
This is the second book in the 'Armored' series and continues a time after the events of the first book. It could be read as a stand-alone, but for better background on the characters, probably best read in order.
The book was fairly action-filled, with many explosions, gunshots, and definitely technical information on so many weapons, places and events in Africa, that it was easy to get a bit lost. There are many things happening back-to-back that it really makes it a bit unbelievable a person(s) could actually survive mostly unhurt through most of the action. But that is what a good action thriller does....
Overall, the book was enjoyable, and I find myself wondering where Greaney will go next with this character.
