This Is the Way the World Ends.

Four years after a tragic mission decimated his team, Cole "Tox" Russell has been disavowed by the United States. And that's fine--he just wants to be left alone. But when a dormant, centuries-old disease is unleashed, Tox is lured back into action.

Tox and his former Special Forces team regroup to work with FBI deception expert, Kasey Cortes, and fiery archaeologist, Tzivia Khalon, to search the globe for answers--and a cure. As the mission leads from one continent to another, it becomes clear they're not just fighting a plague but battling an ancient secret society whose true goals remain hidden.

With time running out and the threat for a global pandemic rising, Tox and his team realize their sole chance might be to reach back through centuries of silence to find the only answer that can save them all.

MY THOUGHTS

Each time I open the newest release by Ronie Kendig, part of me wonders how she can possibly come up with something to top her previous novel. I still don't know how she manages it, but Conspiracy of Silence stands apart as her most intense and action-backed offering to date! Kendig charts new territory as she taps into ancient history, expanding the Special Forces team's mission into a battle that transcends modern weaponry. This is not a book to be read casually, a chapter at a time. In fact, I recommend taking a deep breath before you start because you might not take another before the final page is turned! Dodging bullets and racing for helos are just a few of the dangers the team faces. Hearts are also on the line, and Kendig excels at creating romantic tension with her rapid-fire dialogue and expertly crafted scenes. Lovers of Kendig's A Breed Apart series will delight in the team's use of a military working dog on their mission. A perfect gift, this novel comes in just the right size for any book lover on your list. A Conspiracy of Silence is so, so good; in fact, I'd say it's a bit inTOXcating!
