Necessary Measures

It's a good book with a different terrorist plot. So many other 'spy' books use the same old hackned plots: 'World domination,' 'I've got a nuclear bomb' 'Oh look, the ebola virus again.' This one at least uses what I feel is a more real world approach to hunting down terrorists. I came away feeling as though the CT team were the real thing rather than the typical 'bang-bang, shoot 'em up, I'm one tough SOB' approach.

Take a CIA counterterrorist team and turn them loose with the mission to stop the most heinous terrorist on the planet. That's the leaping off point for this book. These guys travel all over the world trying to hunt down the terrorist before he can strike again. The problem is they don't know when and where he's going to strike. You get to follow along as the terrorist puts his diabolic plan together and tag along with the team as they try to corner the terrorist.The pages literally fly by as you read.You, like the team, have to put together the intelligence to outthink the terrorist. Along with the gun play and suspense this book becomes a rollicking fun read!

I've read this book in 4 hrs, suffice it to say I did not work much that night. It's a fast read for Spy and Action fans. Barlog is working on a sequel to that one. Long live the Wolf pack!

I couldn't put it down, it was very intense. This book reads just like a movie. It was like I was watching the characters in my mind's eye as I read. Barlog employed some great "kills" in this story. Can't wait to really see it on the screen!
