The Terror in the Emerald City

A Thomas Austin Crime Thriller, Book 5

De: D.D. Black

Narrado por: Joe Hempel

An elusive terrorist. A city on razor's edge. Twenty-four hours to stop a massacre.

Former NYPD detective Thomas Austin is enjoying a rare date at a monday night football game in Seattle when the evening takes a horrifying turn.

A team of merciless terrorists has taken over the stadium by force, blocking cellphone signals and sealing the exits.

The terrorists have a single demand: release a high-ranking Al Qaeda operative from a US supermax prison. And they have a simple threat: do so in the next 24 hours or they will blow up the stadium, killing themselves along with tens of thousands of innocent victims.

With 60,000 fans in the crosshairs, and the world watching live on TV, Austin must work with security inside the stadium to find a weak point in the terrorists' plans before the countdown ends. But the closer he gets to the attackers, the more he believes their true plan is even more sinister than anyone would believe.

In the ultimate race against time, Thomas Austin will be tested in ways he never has before, and forced to answer the question: would you sacrifice someone you love to save a thousand strangers?

Too Extreme Scenario for series Known Characters

The entire early setup felt extreme and dire for this growing fan of this series First book I did not instantaneously log on to when starting my car. Character development in earlier books have drawn me in. As a former Seattle resident and Seahawks fan this made me uncomfortable

The football game in Seattle

I know this area well and I love making it a mystery of my area. I graduated from Coupeville high school and have always loved the mystery of the area and the ghost stories

fast paced

Fast-paced and action paced. Thomas Austin books are up there with John Sandford 's Lucas Davenport! Just enough humor without taking the seriousness away. keep them coming!

Intense last hour!

This one may be my favorite one of the series so far. The end was so intense! It read like I was there watching it all unfold.

Great book!!

OK this series is picking up again! Great story, I’m still in love with all the characters and so invested in their lives and the ending was amazing!! Had me hanging on the edge of my seat. Lots of drama and action. Highly recommend!!!
