Eight stars

Always eager to tackle another Ken Fite novel, I was pleased to get my hands on the tenth novel in the Blake Jordan series. With more political and espionage thrills on every page, Fite shows that he has all the elements for a sensational novel. Series fans will enjoy the continued storylines, as well a the new adventures that Bake Jordan faces in short order. A perfect addition to the series.

When the sitting vice-resident's daughter is kidnapped on election day, panic ensues, which is only quelled when the kidnappers are killed in the heart of Chicago. Soon thereafter, the NSA receives word of a massive terror plot set for that same night. With all resources tied up with election night events, federal agent Blake Jordan is sent to the scene in hopes of being able to unravel things in a timely manner. Having spent a great deal of time working for the CIA in Chicago, Jordan knows the lay of the land, as well as the characters involved in the federal hierarchy there.

Arriving in Chicago, Jordan soon realises that this is a complex situation with many facets. POTUS is at the heart of the plot, though a lost election will not be enough. Not only is POTUS on a list for death, but the vice-president is right there with him, harbouring a secret of his own that could bring down the administration on the night it seeks to be re-christened by the electorate.

Vowing to protect both POTUS and VPOTUS, Jordan will have to do all in his power to stop the plot. However, with members of the plan buried deep within the government, this will be a race to get answers and there is no time to waste. All the while, a return to Chicago drums up old worries for Jordan, whose time in the Windy City was anything but peaceful. Ken Fite does a masterful job at building things in this piece and leaves the reader in the middle of all the action.

I have long enjoyed Fite's novels, which read well and so very quickly. Packed with action and political spins, the narrative foundation is key to a successful story that has elements of greatness. Momentum is gained at just the right time and the reader is permitted to devour a stellar work of fiction.

Characters emerge throughout that are sure to flavour the story. Some are returning while other don the pages of this book for the first time. Fite weaves their stories together well as he peppers plot twists throughout, leaving nothing off the table for potential actions. Fite has a wonderful way with words and ideas, which is why I keep returning to see what he has been crafting. I can see great things for this series and hope only that others can agree with me here.

Kudos, Mr. Fite, for another stunning read in a series that has o much potential.
