Sam Fisher is back and better than ever. James Swallow delivers an adrenaline pumping thrill ride that had me flipping pages faster than I thought possible. Firewall is a fantastic book and sets up the series for some very exciting possibilities.
Veteran Fourth Echelon agent Fisher is busy recruiting and training the next generation of Splinter Cell operatives when an immediate threat is discovered. With other agents otherwise engaged around the world, Fisher must depend on the new addition to the team… a probational agent, who just happens to also be his daughter Sarah.
As events unfold, a deadly assassin from Fisher’s past reemerges as the cleaner for an egomaniacal titan of tech. Sam and Sarah must track down Gordian Sword, an all powerful quantum computer capable of neutralizing any electronic network, before it is used to reshape the world as we know it.
With the political and personal stakes this high, Swallow runs Fisher through a full gambit of physical and psychological pain. While he is concerned about his own well being, his daughter choosing to follow in his footsteps is one of the most difficult things he’s ever had to endure.
Phenomenal pacing, great writing, and sublime intertwining plotlines left me holding my breath as I read. This is a book you will struggle to put down, so make sure to plan accordingly and clear anything on your calendar.
