3/16/2023 0 Comments The courier cast![]() Just finished the 6th in the Ryan Kealey saga. The world lost a hell of an author when Andrew Britton died.I was fortunate to find out there were at least two more books written that I had not read. The story is not kept going by flashy car chases or violent encounters, but by the intellectual and physical skills of the characters. Relatively free of foul language and sex. It reminds me of a Vince Flynn, Baldacci, or Ludlum. Kealey's Uncle Largo (a retired spy) uses his skill to come to the rescue. When an mole in Washington disables the entire modern system of computers, communications, satellites, etc. There is an unusual "friendship" between him and an Iranian who wants to find the bomb every bit as bad as Kealey does. That's where our hero Kealey comes in and uses his amazing intelligence and skill to try to prevent the disaster. On the way back to Iran where the device will be added to Iran's nuclear weapons, it is stolen by a member of the Islamic Jihad who plans a suicide mission to the U.S. This was a very good suspense about the discovery of an old nuclear device by sailors on an Iranian ship in the Arctic. I have finally found another mystery/suspense author I can enjoy. Anyone who enjoys Tom Clancy, W E B Griffin, and Robert Ludlum will find this book a must read, along with his previous five books! Kealey's Uncle shows up in an extremely important way in this novel, as Kealey debates how long he, himself, will continue these espionage missions. This is the sixth Ryan Kealey novel, with the last few being published since Britton's death in 2008. What happens next is the subject of this fast passed suspense novel that could come from real life today. ![]() In present day, it was found by an Iranian boat commander. As it was being transported through oceans, it ended up being sunk in the Arctic seas. During WW2, the Germans began developing a very powerful suitcases sized, highly radioactive weapon. Many of these questions are dealt with very interestingly and with non stop action in this modern day spy thriller, where the lives of many many Americans are on the line. With all the wars around the world, past and present, what happens to all the lost weapons from past wars? With technology becoming so sophisticated, what is most helpful in the espionage field, computers or experienced intuition and profiling? How can you determine which of "the others" are truly enemies, and which ones would choose to risk their own lives to help the "Americans"? Must every "American" look and act the same? Do "good" warriors put their lives on the line to keep people safe, or to kill the "enemy"? I received this book free from first reads.
