Publisher's summary

Ex-DEA agent Jesse Warden has seen enough of the inside of a solitary confinement cell to last him a lifetime. Or two lifetimes, which is the sentence he's serving after being convicted of a crime he was planning to commit but never did. So when an old buddy shows up with a deal that could spring him from his hell behind bars, he's ready to listen.

To gain his freedom, Jesse must infiltrate a dangerous and reclusive religious cult that has been stockpiling weapons and eliminating those sent to investigate. From the moment he arrives in the Idaho mountain town where the cult is centered, Jesse finds every aspect of life dictated by the group's eerie, imposing leader. Pitted against not only the cult but the feds who sent him, Jesse feels control of his own life slipping away and must make a final, desperate attempt to regain it - or die trying.

Heat

Stuart Woods is a masterful storyteller. Loved this tale of intrigue as much as Stone Barrington.

Another great story from Stuart Woods

I really enjoyed this story. I liked the the main character Jesse and found Jack Gene to be interesting I guess it is a requirement in cult leaders. I will recommend the story to friends.

Good job Stuart Woods

I always enjoyed the Stone Barrington series, but Mr Woods had run out of story lines for Stone and was only cranking out books. Not up to par for his abilities. This book was a return to creativity & very enjoyable.

Woods & Roberts are the best!

I’m catching up on the earlier books. This one is circa 1994. Sooooo goood...I actually gasped at a couple of revolutions.
Tony Roberts is one of the best male voice actors!! There was one point that “Stone” was heard! It was very noticeable, if you’re a huge fan! This book is way before we got Stone books. 😊

Typical for This Group

The reason I listen to Stuart Woods novels is I can count on an entertaining read. I like to listen to Tony Robert’s he is clear and doesn’t mumble. If you watch tv today you will hear people mumbling a lot. You turn up the volume but you can’t understand the words at any level. Tony Robert’s always does a good job. I realized that I had read this book book many years ago but I enjoyed it again. I do think the story was a bit rushed at times. But you get a lot of action for your time. If you want an easy to follow fun listen this is it.
