Publisher's summary

Former Navy SEAL Hamilton Jones thought that the love of his life was dead. But when a girl claiming to be his daughter shows up with a dire message from his wife, Ham knows he will stop at nothing to find her and bring her home.

Kidnapped by rebels while serving as an interpreter in Ukraine, Signe Kincaid has spent the past decade secreting out valuable information about Russian assets in the US to her CIA handler. Fearing for her daughter after being discovered as an operative, Signe sends her to Ham for safekeeping. She's ready to give her life for her country, and she can hardly expect Ham to rescue her after breaking his heart over and over.

When Ham discovers the reason Signe has kept her distance, he must choose between love for his wife and love for the nation he has vowed to protect. Will he save the many? Or the few?

Definitely not stand alone

This is the 3rd series from this author that I’ve read and i have a love/hate relationship with them. The main characters in the description of the book are never really about the couple in the description, they’re intertwined with other characters in the series… so you have to read the series to have any questions answered. There’s also series crossover’s, which was fine for me because I’d read the other series, but my husband had questions about characters and how they’re related etc etc. Also I had questions at the end of the first series I read that was answered in this series… To end on a good note, I do love the characters, the chemistry, the action, and the books are pretty fast paced.

awesome series!!!

this search and rescue series was so incredible. Warren is an amazing author who entwines suspense and romaance and intrigue that draws you in so deeply that its hard to put the book down. I have anxiously waited for each upcoming book as the series progressed. Thank you Susan Warren for sharing your talent with us.

Terrific book!

Great storyline! Definitely recommend! Susan May Warren is a really good author! Try any of her books!

Best one yet!

Incredible that this author can keep writing book after book and they keep getting better!!! This is one you can’t stop listening to (Audible). I think this is my favorite so far but again they’re all outstanding!

Highly Recommend!!

What an excellent conclusion to the Global Search and Rescue Trilogy. An epic ride that combines a deep-seated conspiracy with natural disasters. You will keep guessing up until the very end about who can be trusted and who is a bad guy. All while wondering if the characters will survive until the end!! Highly recommend!!

Insecurities

Your writing leads one heart and mind wonderfully along.delight characters continue to draw one in hoping they find each other and and purpose and Grace; particularly to get past the UNNATURAL in secures that all these character have, the ALWAYS insecurities in their heads are unnerving because they are NOT normal. Thanks, Dave

Unrealistic

The narrator did a fine job.
The story needed a hard edit for redundancies and, most importantly, realism. I liked the premise and really wanted to like this as much as the other books in the series, but there were too many sections that were completely unrealistic to be able to settle and enjoy the story.
Warning: spoilers ahead
The volcano and tsunami section was probably handled the best and fit the S&R theme pretty well. However, the unrealistic elements of a full town being basically ignored by the local government/police/rescue agencies was laughable.
The main plot line of the spies was pretty far-fetched, but what made it hard to get through was Signe and Ham going back and forth constantly: I love you, I don't trust you, I trust you, I'll pretend not to love you, etc. It went on too long. The unrealistic part of this is that the CIA, private security sector, and senatorial/presidential appointees seem to be comprised of only about 10 people who all know each other. Really?
Finally, the worst for me was the part where Jenny confesses to Orion about the abortion in her past and they discuss it and... it's handled in like thirty seconds? For a Christian book, there was no acknowledgement of how heinous an act that was. Only a shallow chat. Seriously? I'm glad of the example of God's mercy and forgiveness towards the character, but she didn't even show remorse really. Or seem to realize she took a life. It did not fit anything else in the Christian aspect of the book and was terribly off-putting and disappointing. I listened to the whole thing to see if they circled back to it more, but no.
I so much wanted to enjoy this book but it really missed the mark. Do not recommend.
