MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meltdown<\/a> is a dynamic military themed adventure that takes the special task force across the globe on a highly classified\u00a0 search for the source of a liquid weapon that could have devastating effects in the hands of terrorists.While in the Ukraine, they become inadvertently involved in an unrelated terrorist attack and barely manage to escape with their lives. Meanwhile back in the United States, destructive explosions have crippled key communication, streets, bridges, and power supplies. Their pursuit for an answer ends in Panama where the mastermind of the sinister plot is a surprise to everyone.<\/p>\n

At times I had problems keeping\u00a0 all the secondary characters straight but as the story drew to a close, their connections began to make sense. I would have liked to see a better culmination to Sweeney’s unresolved questions about faith but maybe that was left for another story. Meltdown<\/a> raises some frightening scenarios that our citizens would do well to think about. Not my usual choice for reading but I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good adventure story but my guess is that most men would enjoy Meltdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n
