April 13, 2015
Bestseller Cohen’s sequel to 2011’s Blink of an Eye gets off to a snappy start when Sean Falcone, a former national security adviser now working as a lawyer in Washington, D.C., interrupts an apparent assassination attempt inside his law firm and manages to kill one of the two gunmen. The other, however, escapes with a laptop containing vital client information about a plan to mine palladium on an asteroid. Not content to let the authorities handle the case, Falcone plunges into a web of political collusion involving politicians and private entrepreneurs who don’t seem to care that the mining operation could knock the asteroid out of its orbit and right into Earth’s path. Cohen, who served as secretary of defense under President Bill Clinton, doesn’t help his dense, confusing plot by interjecting extended commentary on historical events and social issues. Main character Falcone has a quick wit but leaves little impression otherwise.

As secretary of defense under President Clinton, Cohen knows the inner workings of Washington, D.C., and his knowledge shows in his latest thriller. Sean Falcone used to be a national security advisor but now works for a prestigious law firm. One afternoon he witnesses two men come into the building with guns, and he's able to stop a massacre with only a few casualties. An investigation leads Falcone to a conspiracy involving a missing laptop, NASA, and the funding of a program to mine an asteroid. The authenticity of the narrative seems indisputable, as the combination of suspense and realistic detail drives the plot to its conclusion. This is an insider political thriller that will appeal to readers eager for a believable mix of fact and fiction. Brad Thor fans will especially enjoy it.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
