Mild mannered businessman with a past has to delve back into that past for the skills to survive in this action packed thriller when the concrete jungle of New York City replaces the jungles of Vietnam. MacGyver, eat your heart out. Begging to be a movie.

What an exciting book! I can just picture Bruce Willis starring in the movie! Non-stop action from first page to last with an ending that will blow you away. Didn't expect much when the book arrived but gave it a try - and that was the last time I looked up until I finished. Get your copy immediately!!

I was intrigued by the description of this book. And I am pleasantly surprised. A very intelligently written book that is a joy to read. I can wholeheartedly recommend this author and have since ordered another one of Garber's books.

Very interesting concept. It makes you wonder if this could be happening under our noses with today's technology. There were twists in the book that kept you guessing at times. Great read!

Terrific book suspenseful, and exciting from start to finish. An ordinary businessman, when suddenly, one day, everyone he knows is trying to kill him. He only has his wits and the training he received 20 years ago, to help him figure out why and how to stay alive, for awhile anyway.
