Publisher's summary

Twenty-eight-year-old Lana Baker knows the signs: the intense flashes of light and building pressure in her head herald yet another migraine. But this time, the unavoidable pain lands her in the hospital, where her unusual past raises more questions than answers. Her medical history is a complete mystery. Stranger still, her battery of tests reveals a shocking secret: Lana has a metal disk embedded in her skull—but she has no idea how it got there. Even more disturbing is the fact that the disk is etched with words—in Russian.

Lieutenant Lance Kipling has been tracking down information on a former marine he believes may have had ties to Cold War biological weapons. So when that man’s daughter turns up in a hospital with a metal disk in her skull, it does not go unnoticed. But Lance has competition for the information stored in Lana’s head—dangerous individuals with Soviet ties.

Together, Lance and Lana follow a trail of clues her father left, bits of information that reveal Lana’s past and paint a deadly picture of a weapon that has the potential to wreak havoc on the planet’s entire population.

Another Great Book by Gregg Luke!

Great story, with a plot that held my attention to the end. A perfect balance of action and suspense, with a romantic element as well.

Great Thriller with Broad Audience Appeal

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Gregg Luke writes with a satisfying balance of action and detail to delight a variety of readers. The story itself gives off Jason Bourne/James Bond vibes, but with the twist of a more “normal”, relatable heroine at the forefront of the plot. I personally love seeing a woman as the protagonist of a storyline that could arguably be seen as having appeal to a more traditionally masculine audience. I also appreciated the ever-so-slight romance element woven into things, but with subtlety so as not to detract from the urgency and high-octane stakes that drove the novel forward. All in all, definitely a worthwhile read (or listen, in my case). Will absolutely be diving into another Gregg Luke book in the near future.

good book, terrible narration

I had such a hard time with the narrator who couldn't even consistently say the main character's name the same way within moments of each other. Drove me absolutely nuts! I definitely would have enjoyed this more if I'd read instead of listened.

I hardly ever buy audiobooks, but this one wasn't available at my library and had good reviews. I wanted to support an author who wrote clean suspenseful books, but I was greatly disappointed that I spent money on this one. Again, might have been okay without the awful narration. Try giving it a read!
