Second Strike

A Mike Garin Thriller

By: Peter Kirsanow

Narrated by: Paul Michael

Peter Kirsanow delivers a gripping, high-stakes thriller in which special operator Mike Garin faces off against a lethal Russian assassin--and a devious plot to wreak chaos in America.

Within mere weeks of thwarting a cataclysmic electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack against the United States, Michael Garin, former leader of the elite Omega special operations unit, discovers that Russia has triggered an ingenious and catastrophic backup plan. Garin's efforts to warn the administration of the new attack, however, fall on deaf ears. No one believes the Russians would initiate another strike of such magnitude so soon.

Without government support, Garin turns to three people for help: Congo Knox, a former Delta Force sniper; Dan Dwyer, the head of a sprawling military contracting firm; and Olivia Perry, an aide to the national security advisor. Yet Garin and his ad hoc team are checked at every turn by the formidable Russian assassin, Taras Bor, who is directed by an individual seemingly able to manipulate the highest reaches of the US government.

As evidence mounts that the Russian plot has been set in motion and that Bor is pivotal to its success, it's up to Garin and his team to thwart an attack that will cause the death of millions and establish a new world order.

Best thriller series move over Mitch, Scott, Dewey, Court

Update: Kirsanow's Vol 3 is going to come out in 2019 and I don't think he has plans to stop. Best thriller series move over Mitch Rapp, Scott Harvath, Colt Raynor, Dewey Andreas, Court Gentry, etc. No one writes from the POV of the bad guys like Kirsanow. That said, there are few better writer/narrator combos than Paul Michael (aka the guy who read FEARLESS) paired up with PK. Excellent depth, frightening pace, interesting plot. This is a no-brainer, take it from a guy with 1300+ books in my library, mostly military history and suspense thrillers, Kirsanow is writing top 3 all-time genre novels... this series is awesome awesome awesome!!!!

Excellent follow-up Book!

I’ve enjoyed both of the Omega books by Kirsanow, Michael Garin reminds me of Mitch Rapp, in a good way. Would recommend these two books to anyone who enjoys Vince Flynn.

What comes next?

I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns. The main character often gets into situations where you think, how can this be ... But he always conquers his advisaries or does he?

Ok I’m hooked

I like with Mitch The GrayMan and Dewey A a fan for life and look to the next adventure i love All characters Narration is Awesome Olivia must remain tho as I love her as well as mike

Book 2 as good as the first - great good over evil

Super hero lives up to accolades. Author does a wonderful and believable story of our hero over coming unbelievably difficult situations. Fun and entertaining. I highly recommend this book.
