Publisher's summary

A sudden family death and an old nemesis bring retired agent Mac Dekker in from the cold in this alpine thriller from New York Times bestselling author Christopher Reich.

Robbie Steinhardt lives a peaceful life. A fixture of his small alpine village, he tends cattle, minds his own business, and doesn’t dwell on his former life and the family and lover he left behind—back when he was Mac Dekker, CIA.

But when he learns his son Will died following in his footsteps, he needs answers. What mission took Will up into the alpine heights, and why is Ilya Ivashka on the same trail? Ilya—his close friend, his rival in love. Ilya, who framed Mac for treason and sent him into hiding.

Wiping away the years, Mac returns to the field to find the secrets Will hid and finds himself facing the Herculean task of stopping a terrorist plot that threatens thousands. But in a field of double agents, who can he trust?

Great Story, Characters and Narration!

Great story with twists and turns. Narrator is, as usual, terrific. Well worth the read if adventure and intrigue are your thing.

Decent plot but difficult to follow

There were so many characters and the book sort of jumped from one place to the other. BF liked it but I was lost and never was able to figure it out.

Climbing to the Top

If you love climbing, this book will peak your interest. An espionage story with a difference. Entertaining.

I had a hard time with the foreign names but a good story

Too many different names for me, but that’s probably my issue. The story moved along well and was very interesting.

Started Well

I thought the book started well, but towards the end things became too implausible. Not that these types of novels don't contain many unbelievable things, but this had too many. The relationships between all of the characters were one of the bigger farfetched parts of the book. Some events that occurred were too convenient or outlandish to accept. I also thought the ending was rushed with everything wrapping up quickly. I wanted to hear more about Nadia and Katya's journey and their meeting up Mac for the first time.

Overall, not original but decently entertaining for a free book. I don't regret reading it. I'm on the fence if I will read the second book when it comes out.
