Publisher's summary

Alex Hawke is sailing into trouble when an around-the-world journey becomes a fight against terror in the latest exciting adventure from New York Times best-selling novelist Ted Bell.

After saving the kidnapped heir to the British throne, gentleman spy and MI6 legend Alex Hawke is due for some downtime. He’s got a new custom built sailing yacht and a goal: to get closer to his son Alexi during an epic cruise across the seven seas.

But fate and the chief of MI6, Lord David Trulove, have other plans.

There’s an unholy alliance of nations who are plotting to attack Western democracies. The wily intelligence leader plans to use Hawke to drive a knife into the heart of this conspiracy. From an island base off Cuba to a secret jungle lair deep in the Amazon, on the land and the seas, the master spy and his crew of incorrigibles are in for the fight of their lives - the fight for freedom.

Thanks for now worrying about be politically correct

A fun episode. Sure, so of the escapes tax credibility, but that is not new. Complaints but some of virus propaganda are silly. They come across as if China has a team looking for any social media (including novels) the even suggest that the virus originated from China, and then they attempt to shame the author for such political incorrectness. It’s just a fictional novel. Lighten up! Fun book.

Something missing

Although I enjoyed the book, I was somewhat waiting for just a little more. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Moves a little slow

The lack of action, suspense and intrigue in the first half of the book made me almost not want to finish it. Glad I did but it paled in comparison to the previous Alex Hawke books.

To much pompous Hawke

Really sad how Stokely n Brock were relegated to such small roles. Glad Mr. Shea is back. A bit cartoonish with green ray gun.

An other fun ride with Hawke

Great fun laser cannons Chinese invasion
Bad guys died badly cool new yacht Amazon river excursion
All good!

Great to have John Shea back

The last few months I’ve gone through the entire Alex Hawke series in order. This new book was great, building on the history. Individually the books are great, but everything has so much more depth now. And this one doesn’t disappoint. I’m looking forward to seeing where Hawke goes next and Alexi growing up through this storyline.

The narrator in the previous book did a great job, but it was great having John Shea back as the voice for this entire series.

my last Hawke book

Rehash of old material and not believable. Bell went way out there with this story.

great Performance

like a fairytale. no possible reflection of reality but much fun. fantastic narration. ended like Ted knew it would be his last.

Disjointed, ridiculous, unbelievably stupid, yet still somehow entertaining

This may be my last Alex Hawke installment. They have always required a bit of suspension of disbelief, however this one is borderline comical. In some spots it felt unedited, and like Ted was mailing it in for a paycheck. All that said it does have some entertainment value, but I’m going to have to think a bit if a new book in this series is released on whether or not I will purchase.

Alex Hawke does it again

Ted Bell has again captured the total essence of his story. His hero Alex Hawke remains the man we have all loved since the first book. Always von top of the situation. Bell captures today's headlines and for sees the future, writing a story so on point of today's political atmosphere. Well written and beautifully read.
