Chris Hauty brings the stellar Hayley Chill back in a quick-paced novella playing off the political protests of January 6th. Utilizing the confrontational political environment plaguing the United States right now, this will hit a little more than most political thrillers normally do.
After two fascinating reads from Hauty in Deep State and Savage Road, Hayley Chill is found reeling from a failure of the most epic proportions. Russian interference in American politics in the form of President Monroe forces a closer protection of politicians and the scared positions that they hold. While violent protests are taking place across America, a major uprising at the Capitol building in D.C. forces the eventual evacuation of American lawmakers.
Chill just happens to be in the Capitol when protestors start storming the building leading to a constant head-turning escape that leads through numerous locations. After stumbling across Senator Rittenhouse being protected by a single USCP officer and a few support staff, Chill assists in leading the group to relative safety until the Senator realizes his laptop of seemingly significant importance has been left behind. As Chill teams up with Officer Gomes to return to the Capitol building to retrieve the prized technology all hell breaks loose. The unimaginable happens on United States soil and death surrounds Chill at every corner. The worst case possible is happening and she must act quickly to prevent any damaging information from coming to light. As protestors run wild in the Capitol, foreign operations of espionage are in full swing which require steadfast dedication and action immediately.
Chill is a badass woman with phenomenal skills who fights for what is right while everything is crashing down around her. Chill’s keen awareness and unparalleled devotion paired with Hauty’s intense storytelling may leave you wanting this novella to magically become a full-length novel. It will hold you over though until Storm Rising releases later in May of 2022.
