Synopsis

For the President of the United States, the daily horror of life in West Darfur’s killing fields just hit heartbreakingly close to home. His niece, Lily, has been targeted and savagely murdered by a corps of fearsome government-backed militiamen. With the situation too explosive for diplomatic or military solutions, yet with the President and the public thirsting for revenge, America is out of options. Except one: Ryan Kealey, ex-Special Forces, former CIA, and unrivaled counterterrorism expert.Kealey has been central to the war on terror for over a decade. But after the Agency hung him out to dry—and let his lover die—he turned his back. Until now. For the government has revealed its trump card, the one thing Kealey will risk everything for. Soon, from the lawless streets of Sudan to the highest levels of the American government, Kealey unearths secrets and betrayals that shock even his war-tempered sensibilities—and ignite a conflagration with unknowable global consequences.

Goodreads review by Alec on July 25, 2019

It's been so long since I read any of the books in the Ryan Kealey series by Andrew Britton that the The Exile is effectively a stand alone book in my mind. That being said, it was exactly what I was looking for while on vacation, an easy to read bit of escapism. Did the book follow many of the same......more
