Raptor 6 #review
His mission and his team. Captain Dean Watters keeps these two items in laser like focus at all times. So when hackers threaten both his mission and his team, his Special Forces training kicks into high gear. Ten military super-secure computers are missing – which if opened would give America’s enemies a blueprint of US military intelligence. Failing to stop these hackers is not an option.
Zahrah Zarrick is a missionary teacher to Afghan children in Mazar-e Sharif. She is also a target – American born and an expertise in quantum cryptology makes her an unwilling pawn in the hackers’ deadly game. They are coming for her and Dean and his team must stop them.
Before his team can get to her, she disappears. Now Dean must race to rescue her and stop the hackers from unleashing terror on millions across the globe. But to do so, Dean will be forced to crack open the steel box around his heart – a move that might come at the higher cost.
An incredibly well written and fast paced novel, Raptor 6 is a definite must read. At the beginning I found it slightly hard to follow but I liked how that fit into the current situation and the chaos that was happening in the book. The story evolves with the reader – both only receiving information at the same time as the mission changes. It really helps to draw you in to the story. The pressures that Dean face and eventually having to face his past and his fears were mind blowing. By three quarters of the way through the book you literally can not put it down in anticipation of what will happen next. It was definitely unlike any other book I have read before and one that I have started to re-read again.
