   (3 reviews)
Gemini_Generated_Image_i8fvnui8fvnui8fv.jpg

February 2011. Tripoli is burning.

Special Envoy Will Carter is trapped in a collapsing palace, hunted by militias and running out of time. His husband Andrew is the only thing standing between him and execution—but the city is a warzone, and the hunters are closing in.

From the corridors of power in Ottawa to the burning streets of the Libyan capital, the Carters are about to discover that some wars are fought with bullets, and some are fought with everything you have.

In a fast paced, shocking narrative what was to be a family event around negotiating a basic financial treaty with a North African dictatorship turned into a chaotic, unexpected violent revolution where survival is not certain. Special Envoy Will Carter and his spouse Andrew found themselves at Gaddafi's palace as rebels attacked and began killing. Andrew led their escape. Will became the grand prize and was sought by brutal enemies who wanted to use him as political leverage. West, Peter and Jacob resided in the British embassy which is attacked by multitudes of fighters who want vengeance against those who supported their dictator.

Great, violent uncertainty pervades this revolution. Heroic actions and unyielding determination and imagination are needed to survive. You will see key opponents try to use the Carters who have to be flexible and focused. West rises to the occasion leading the embassy defense against overwhelming odds.

Things never seem to be safe and uneventful. You will find the action scary and upsetting and the Carters will be physically hurt. How they all act and struggle will be fully entertaining. They never give up. The fights and acts of heroism will fascinate you. They are helped by skilled allied forces.

Victory is well earned.

This is the latest story in the Carter series of books, you will need to read others or you will not know who the main people are.

We join Special Envoy Will Carter, his husband CSIS operative Andrew Carter and there son Jacob in Tripoli. They also have Peter with them, as West is stationed out there.

But things go drastically wrong and Will is trapped in a collapsing palace, hunted by militia and facing possible execution. The only person there to protect him is Andrew.

Read on to discover more, you will not be disappointed.

The latest book in the Carter Series, You will need to read all of the previous books to better understand the characters and how they operate. This book finds the entire family in Tripoli where Will is a diplomatic envoy to help negotiate business investment strategies. While visiting a palace for a diplomatic reception, a civil war begins placing Andrew in charge of protecting Will, while West is in charge of Peter and Jacob at the British Embassy. Chaos is unleashed and everyone in the family is at risk and must work together to survive. I highly recommend this book and the author whose talented research shines through. You will not be disappointed!
