Thrillers today are written in many different forms with a single lead or a team of characters that are doing their jobs that force them into dangerous situations. DJ Scott had captured two of the most riveting characters who bring a whole new meaning to the word team. Scott brings back reservists lt. Commander Michael McGregor, Naval doctor, and U.S. Marine Corps captain Kelli Moore to help with solving a problem of epic proportions. As reservists, McGregor and Moore are doing life in their normal civilian jobs as an ER doctor and Detective for a local enforcement when summoned.
McGregor and Moore are two upstanding citizens who the world owes a debt of gratitude after their mission to track down stolen nuclear weapons. Americans watching the news have seen that there are potential chemical weapons going off domestically that are inciting panic. Offenders of the terrorism happening in their own backyard are only known by one man, and he has reached out to help escape from Europe, while British intelligence and another group are trying to prevent that. McGregor and Moore are sent on a super-secret adventure to locate and extract Maxim Korshkin, the arms dealer responsible for the death of American service men and women in an almost botched covert operation overseas. As McGregor and Moore make their way to a new assignment overseas, CIA Officer Jennifer Kim is presented their unlikely handler, as her past is marked as hazardous it couldn’t be anymore tedious.
Roadblocks and hurdles are cast in front of the duo quickly, forcing them to realize that they have targets on their backs. Following the trail of Korshkin is no easy feat as they are hunted, but immediately brings out the incredible woman in Moore and forces the hand of the methodical McGregor. But they have an ace up their sleeve, Moore is the daughter of a well renowned grandfather, Sir Charles Moore, with all the gadgets and gizmos that one could ever dream about. The trail to Korshkin involves one of huge geopolitical proportions and must be dealt with delicately.
Scott brings these larger-than-life characters down to a level that is extremely likable and easily identifiable with. McGregor and Moore are more than just partners as you come to find out that near death experiences make life more passionate. The challenge of stopping terrorism is not an easy task, but McGregor and Moore are two fascinating individuals that just happen to make a badass team.
