Teeming with dynamic, ferocious, no holds barred action, The Libyan Diversion is one of the most tense and titillating thrillers you will encounter in 2023. Joel C. Rosenberg delivers yet another engaging and captivating novel that will leave you sweaty, breathless and stunned.
After Marcus Ryker presents evidence that convinces the President to bomb the supposed location of terrorist mastermind Abu Nakba, all signs point to a successful outcome with the Kairos leader dead and Ryker tasked with mopping up the rest of the terror organization. However, days later alarming images are shown on CNN purporting the bombing location wasn’t filled with terrorists, but of innocents. Setting in motion a firestorm in the United States that impacts the president, his administration, Ryker’s employment, and the planned visit of the Pope. Now an attack on American soil by Kairos seems imminent with little knowledge of where to start. Which means Ryker will have to quickly clear his name and do what he does best – figure out what the terrorists are planning then stop the attack before tens of thousands of his compatriots are murdered.
Did I mention this book is action packed? Because that’s an understatement. Bombings, gun battles, and missile strikes intertwined with kidnappings, crossing hostile borders, and intelligence gathering wrapped around a global manhunt with the clock ticking down towards doomsday…oh my! There is hardly a moment to catch your breath as the story goes from one intense situation to the next.
And while the action is relentless, The Libyan Diversion also runs the gamut of emotions. Elation, adoration and excitement give way to despondency, horror and anxiety before pivoting to awe, relief and love. And in the middle of it all is Marcus Ryker, singularly focused on his purpose despite all the turbulence around him, tracking down those who would do us harm and stopping at nothing to achieve success. His resiliency and effectiveness are impressive, all while remaining humble and overcoming adversity. Something we can all admire and learn from.
Are you in need of a gripping, balls-to-the-wall, nail-biting thriller? If so, look no further than The Libyan Diversion. It’s tremendous and needs to be on every thriller reader’s TBR pile in 2023.
