Contract to Kill

The plot for this story is launched by a character who was at best peripheral way back in book number one. For fans of the series, they will likely recognize the character soon after reading. It's interesting to see the author have fun with an old throwaway character, then use him to such great effect in this book. Where things go from there is a massive shift in scale as a new, large-scale military contractor is pulled into the story for the first time. And thanks to the politics of the situation, McBride's father plays a big role for the first time.

This series continues to impress me. The characters continue to evolve and the proverbial pages fly by.
