Jericho Quinn is a special agent working to stop acts of terrorists in America. As Americans are killed, he finds that he has to uncover the cell that threatens country. ( )

New author for me. Not bad. I ewill look for this author again. ( )

I really wanted to like it. What began as an interesting and potentially good story with well done characters became quickly spoiled by way too much detail about motor cycles and not enough on explaining the plot. Too many times it seemed to be going somewhere good only for the chapter to end and a new one to begin with a line saying they were back home and it was all sorted out! Really??? When did that happen? I was...if anything... just confused throughout the majority of it. At least he didn’t kill any dogs or other four-legged furry friends this time. ( )

Book source ~ Arc. My review is voluntary and honest.

Enter a setting that could be all too real: home-grown terrorists are staging attacks all over America. When an attack happens inside CIA HQ, the most important question now becomes how? How did they pass all the background checks? If they can figure that out then they may be able to stop the terrorist cell once and for all. When the government needs answers and they need them right damn now, they call Jericho Quinn. Because sometimes only a hammer will get the job done.

Life interfered with this series. I read book 1, National Security, years ago and loved it, but it took me forever to get back to Jericho Quinn. Man, what a ride! Act of Terror is everything National Security is and will not disappoint. It’s fast-paced, so strap in and hold on for dear life. Tons of action, excellent characters, great dialogue, and twisty roads will lead to an explosive finish that is worth every minute invested in the reading. My only complaint is with the timeline, but it’s a tiny bitch and easily pushed aside in favor of the badassery that saturates the pages. I love Jericho Quinn. Seriously. There are only a handful of characters I love as much as him: Scott Bell’s Abel Yeager, Russ Hall’s Al Quinn (no relation that I’m aware of lol), S.J. Parkinson’s Steven Anderson, Christopher Golden’s Ben Walker, and Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden (ok, so he’s Fantasy, sue me) are the ones on the short list. I can’t wait to start book 3, State of Emergency and watch Quinn and Company in action again. Bring on Hammer Company! ( )

Jericho Quinn and I just don't get along. I've tried and restarted this book twice, but I just can't get into the plot or the characters. Like his first book, the theme is intriguing, but it gets lost in the minutiae of technical details,and flat characters. And, where is that plot going? No more Marc Cameron for me. ( )
