Publisher Description

With The Pandora Deception, Bruns and Olson return with a captivating portrayal of modern day combat that "compares with the best of the timeless classics by Tom Clancy, Dale Brown, and Stephen Coonts." (Mark Greaney)

To effectively combat the rise of global terrorism, the U.S. military must now rely on more than traditional weapons and tactics. Don Riley of the U.S. Cyber Command is given charge of a brand new effort: a new team in the CIA Operations Directorate called Emerging Threats. To establish this team he recruits three talented recent commissioned naval officers—Janet Everett, Michael Goodwin, and Andrea Ramirez—and together they uncover a new terrorist group. The group is going under the name of the Mahdi, a messiah figure of Islamic mythology, and is operating in the geopolitical tinderbox that is the Nile River basin.

But the Mahdi is no ordinary terrorist group. Their stock in trade is not the usual suicide bombings and surprise attacks. In fact, the Mahdi has created and is about to release the worst kind of weapon: a hugely destructive bioweapon, known as Pandora, with a devastating fatality rate. And it will take all the resources that the U.S. can bring to bear—intelligence assets, cyber warfare and military assaults—to not only find out who is really behind the Mahdi, but to stop them before they successfully destroy the balance of power in the Middle East.

“Thank you to St Martin's Press and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. So this was my first encounter with these authors and although I haven't read previous books in this series I didn't feel as if I was missing a lot of important back story, in saying that I will be making a point to add more titles by these two to my TBR list. This is one of the things I love about NetGalley, the number of new authors that I might never have come across otherwise. We are introduced to team members of an emerging threat taskforce who are tracking a new terrorist group sabotaging dams. The terrorist activity is just the tip of the iceberg with a far more dangerous outcome planned for the world. The team must ascertain the true motive and stop the plan from being activated before a devastating result occurs. This is a storyline full of action, great characters and a diabolical plan that will have you reading at a frenetic pace. There are two storylines playing out at the same time that in the beginning that can be a little confusing but they tie in together for a satisfying result in the end. Nonstop action that will have you holding your breathe in anticipation.”
