Book Description
Zachary Garrett makes a thrilling return in Hidden Threat with a promotion to colonel and orders to report to Afghanistan to kill or capture al Qaeda's senior leaders. But Zachary's mission takes a deadly turn as his team plows into a fierce ambush in the Hindu Kush Mountains. News of the esteemed colonel's death devastates the Special Forces community, yet Zachary's daughter, Amanda, is unmoved when the Army casualty assistance team appears on her doorstep. Estranged from her father, Amanda only responds to the assistance team when they mention the $500,000 life insurance payout. But there's a catch: Amanda must meet for five sessions with revered psychiatrist Riley Dwyer, who has her own ties to Amanda's father. Eager to collect her payout, Amanda reports to her first session with Riley and begins a mind bending journey that strips away the facade of her life. Meanwhile, new clues regarding Zachary's fate surface when Matt and Major General Jack Rampert's team embark on a vengeance mission into forbidden Pakistan territory. Rocke's mastery of suspense keeps the reader guessing as Amanda and Matt begin a rapid-fire journey to discover the truth about Zachary in Hidden Threat.

The best yet!, Jan 26 2011
By K. A. Carroll - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hidden Threat (Hardcover)
Hidden Threat is, in my opinion, the most well-rounded of the "Threat" series so far. Women play a larger, though not always sympathetic, role in this novel, and each is a fully-realized character.Like all of the "Threat" novels,this is an action-packed thriller/adventure. The reader is rocketed back and forth between Zach's heroic mission in Pakistan, Matt's own mission of revenge and truth-seeking, and the ability of Zach's daughter to distinguish between truth and manipulation and become her own kind of hero.
Once I get started, I cannot put these books down -- they are smart, funny, sincere, suspenseful and keep you on the edge of your seat. I can't ask for more except the next in the series as soon as possible!

4.0 out of 5 stars
exciting military thriller, May 2 2011
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hidden Threat (Hardcover)
On the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, Special Forces Colonel Zach Garrett and his commando unit attack an enemy camp. In the combat, their helicopter is destroyed and all assumed dead. In Spartanburg, South Carolina the Casualty Assistance Officer and Chaplain visit the next of kin, Zach's teenage daughter Amanda, who loathes her father for never being there for her or her mother Melanie; she is indifferent to her dad's death until she learns of his $500,000 life insurance policy. While her mother and maternal grandma Nina celebrate, there is a stipulation before she can collect, she must visit psychiatrist Dr. Riley Dwyer.In Loudoun County, Virginia, a Casualty Assistance Officer informs CIA operative Matt Garrett of his brother's death. Matt travels to Afghanistan to bring home Zachary's remains. However, he decides on one unsanctioned avenging raid on those who killed his sibling, but begins to find interesting information. Back in South Carolina Zach's ex wife and former mother-in-law begin the purge of his existence.
The third Garrett "threat" thriller (see Rogue Threat and Sudden Threat) is an exciting military operative tale that rotates between the theater and the home-front. The story line is fast-paced in theater while poignant at home. Beyond what they do to brainwash their daughter, the unbelievable additional activity by Nina and Melanie are over the top of Sassafras Mountain. Still fans will enjoy this solid entry as the field escapades are entertaining and the spotlight on a stay at home parent's destructive influence towards her offspring make for a powerful storyline as Melanie and Nina make Cruella DeVille look like Mother Teresa when it comes to brainwashing Amanda.

Couldn't put it down., Mar 5 2011
By Dave the Geek - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
It was a great book in the Tom Clancy genre of thrillers. I really like the characters of the two brothers Zach and Matt. They represent the best of America--the great men and women who are serving in our armed forces around the world keeping us safe. It was a good story that was hard to put down. I can't wait for Dark Threat to come out.
