I might not always get or understand all the tactical moves, I may not always follow the lingo and track all the players in the story. But one thing I *do* get when it comes the Discarded Heroes is this: the heart, the power, the faith, the drive, the conviction behind each of these men and women jumps through the pages and grabs me by the throat.

This last installment is nothing if not fast paced and high-intensity. And I saw something I never thought would be possible: Nightshade, special black ops team, dismantled and seemingly destroyed.

Each page leaves nothing to be desired and I should warn you now, if you care for your sleep, you wont read this at night. Each word is used to the utmost advantage, catapulting me into the set of this story as though it were visually before me on a television screen.

Legend and Kazi are a duo not to be messed with from the very start and their romance, woven in amongst copious gunfire, death threats and bombs just adds another cord of tension for characters and reader.

It takes talent to take a reader who doesnt normally read this genre (me) and transport that reader (me) into a world completely foreign and make that reader (me) a player throughout every intricate detail.

The ending left me mourning the loss of these brave heroes, but with more than enough hope they will continue to save the world, long after Ive left them.

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers through FIRST for my copy to review.
