Synopsis

In this fast-paced political thriller, Major Brooke Grant joins the president's top-secret CIA team and races around the globe in pursuit of a terrorist known only as the Falcon.
On the day of Major Brooke Grant's wedding, an explosive-packed rental truck detonates a deadly bomb, killing hundreds of her friends and family and endangering D.C.'s most powerful politicians.
Saved by a last-minute fluke, Brooke seeks revenge against the master terrorist responsible, an international radical Islamist who is determined to murder her, bring America to its knees, and create a modern-day caliphate.
With help from an odd duo -- a Saudi intelligence officer and an Israeli Mossad agent -- Brooke goes after her elusive zealot nemesis. But before the team can close in on their target, they discover that America's worst nightmare has come true.
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and Pulitzer Prize finalist Pete Earley deliver fast-paced writing and a frighteningly believable plot in this third installment of the bestselling Brooke Grant series. Set against the backdrop of Washington's political intrigue, Vengeance is a heart-pounding thriller that raises serious questions about our national security, the power of religious faith to inspire good and evil, the consequences of revenge, and the validity of our constitutional safeguards.

I am sorry to say I was very disappointed in this third book of the Brooke Grant series. I felt the first two books were pretty well balanced with the amount of action and twists, but this book just went completely overboard. My disappointment started early on and without spoiling it - the events at......more

Sometimes when you finish a book and lay it down, it can be hard to imagine that it is simply all a story. That it hasn't happened. But also that it could very well happen just as it is laid out in the book you just read. Vengeance by Newt Gingrich is a chilling political suspense novel that once mo......more

4.5 stars. This is the third in the series and while I liked it and it's a great political thriller. But to me, it lacked some of the suspense of the prior books. It was very well written and certainly very plausible, which is alarming.......more

Goodreads review by John V. Armstrong on November 30, 2017

I read 3, that'll be enough. In the end "Brooke Grant" just doesn't come off as a viable character. She accomplished way too much for someone so unskilled. The major annoying aspect of this book though is the portrayal of Texans. Come visit and don't believe the stereotypes before you write about us.......more
