Synopsis

Cavanaugh, a former member of Delta Force who now works as a protector for those rich enough to afford him and his team, is hired by a brilliant scientist named Prescott who needs protection from a powerful drug lord seeking the highly addictive drug he has invented. At least, that is what Cavanaugh is led to believe. After Cavanaugh trains the scientist in escape and evasion, the unthinkable occurs: Cavanaugh's team is viscously attacked and entirely wiped out, and Prescott seems to be in collusion with the attackers. Now Cavanaugh must fight against his own tactics and anticipate his enemy's every move while suffering the consequences of the real secret Prescott is hiding: a unique weapon that induces fear.

Goodreads review by Jim on September 13, 2020

A pretty good thriller with a lot of detail about methods & equipment, more than I normally would have appreciated. However, I recently read how he has attended classes for much of what was described. That gave it a basis in fact that made it more interesting. He certainly isn't easy on his characte......more
