Fiction. Thriller. HTML:

A former CIA agent is on the hunt for a terrorist armed with a nuclear device in the New York Times bestselling author's "timely and intelligent thriller" (BookReporter.com).
Ryan Kealey now knows he'll never really put the game behind him. But now the game itself has changed. Between tense interagency "cooperation" that gums the works, and an overreliance on data-crunching and wiz-kid tech, today's US intelligence service has lost a step to its ever-bolder, viciously adaptable global enemies. And thanks to an incredible discovery in the Arctic, those enemies now have a nukeâ??capable of unleashing unthinkable terror.
To hunt down the devastating package before it can be used, Kealey forms an unlikely partnership with the young Farsi-speaking nuclear physicist Rayhan Jafari. But once on the ground, with technology and their by-the-numbers command failing them, they're on their ownâ??trusting only their guts and each otherâ??to conduct the dirty business of combating horrific destruction.
"[Britton] may well give Tom Clancy a run for the money." â??St. Louis Post-Dispatch<

This was definitely the weakest of the Ryan Kealey books. I believe that the author passed away a couple years ago so not sure how much of this is his work vs. ghost writer. There was an interesting story in here but the characters seem cookie-cutter, the dialogue seems a little loose (especially with Kealey talking smack around the President), some crazy plot twists that are pretty far-fetched along with too much verbalizing feelings. Too many dumb cliches bring this down into "standard thriller" territory. ( )
