Synopsis

It's a new beginning for bodyguard Atticus Kodiak. Dead to the world, no longer hunted, he has lived with his common-law wife Alena for more than a year in a small town in the Republic of Georgia. But when their new neighbors are brutally murdered, leaving behind their son, it falls to Atticus to rescue him. To do so, he must enter a web that takes him from Russia to Istanbul and that stretches from Dubai to Las Vegas. But what troubles Atticus the most is that Alena—once one of the world's most dangerous assassins and a woman who fears nothing—is clearly terrified of what he's uncovered. And as Atticus gets closer to learning why, the closer he gets to destroying the life they have made, and each other.

Goodreads review by Jake on June 10, 2009

I used to love the Atticus Kodiak books back when they were about a struggling band of NYC bodyguards. They were tense, funny and sorta relatable. Since Rucka killed off 90% of the cast and Kodiak became Jason Bourne, they're not so relatable. Atticus has turned from an indecisive amateur who cry-fu......more

I've been following Atticus Kodiak's story since the beginning...having picked up Keeper the first day it arrived in my store in the summer of 1996. As I read the inside of the jacket all those years ago, I realized the author was local. I read the novel over the next few days, then called the Rucka......more

Goodreads review by Hans on August 20, 2023

Dear Randy - Just a short two and a half years later, I finally finished the last of the Atticus Kodiak series. It definitely took some unexpected turns. This book helps close the loop a little bit with one character, but it is definitely nowhere near where it all started. (I actually think there is......more

Goodreads review by Bob on January 23, 2018

Just to be up-front - 3 stars from me means I enjoyed reading it, but am unlikely to read it again. So - this is my second Atticus Kodiak book with the only previous one being Critical Space. A bit disorienting at first, as this is definitely a series where the protagonist, his supporting cast and h......more

Goodreads review by Tara on June 05, 2018

I will be reading more Atticus Kodiak. Starting with #7 is kinda weird, but it was a good read. I finished it in three days. I could hardly put it down - lots of action - interesting story telling. Unfortunate title when trying to find it on GoodReads thanks to the TV series The Walking Dead, but I......more
