Resumen del Editor

The second installment in acclaimed Black-Ops thriller author Leo J. Maloney's spin-off series featuring Alex Morgan, daughter of Zeta operative Dan Morgan.

STORM FRONT

Ares, an insidious challenger to the Zeta group, is sowing conflict around the world, orchestrating an explosive endgame. Identifying the next target as a cruise ship on the Coral Sea, Zeta sends undercover operatives Alex Morgan and Alicia Schmitt to avert catastrophe. Infiltrating the crew and passengers is easy for the skilled agents—but also for the fortified and highly trained extremists, who topple security and gain control of the ship.

The attackers' demands: inconceivable. Their threats: immediate. As a massive storm bears down off the Australian coast, Alex and Alicia are outnumbered, outgunned, and out to sea. In full chaos mode, Alex shores up her last defenses, unaware that someone close to her could shift the odds in her favor—or against her. Ares has every advantage in this operation, but they have overlooked one key thing. Never underestimate a Zeta agent . . . especially one whose last name is Morgan.

Better than the first book

4.5 Stars 🌟

I was a big fan of Mr. Maloney's Dan Morgan series so I was thrilled to see that there was going to be a spin off with his daughter Alex. Then I read the first book and I wasn't so sure any more. (you can read my review for that book). She was just TOO perfect. Too confident for her age, but it still had promise. Then I was awarded an ARC and I got all discombobulated because it was the 3rd book i the series and I realized that I had missed the release of the second book. So...here is that being rectified....

This book was a definitely different set up from the first book (and if I'm being honest, I was a little confused with the order of the books - it felt like things that occurred in book 2 mentioned events in book 3 (which hadn't happened yet) - how is that possible? Anyway, it was probably just me.

So- we have Alex being singled out by Aries and escaping from almost certain death in Boston. She is then sent on assignment on a cruise ship that might be involve in the center of a huge terrorist plot. And, like in the prior books, her parents (who are still on an around the world vacation) get pulled in (or kind of volunteer) to help.

I enjoyed this book. We get to see Alex begin to get better at working together with other team members and there is just the perfect amount of drama, action and all around craziness as things begin to unfold. The Zeta team is solid - as always - and there is even a possible love interest down the road for Alex.

I listened to most of this on audio and thought Kate Zane was okay. Not great, but not awful.

Since I've already read the ARC for book 3, I guess I now have to wait for book 4 *sigh*

The excitement

Awsome audible book to listen to it will keep you guessing the plot was awsome and I love the books with the Morgan's in it
