Ex-DEA agent Jesse Warden has seen enough of the inside of a solitary confinement cell to last him a lifetime.Or two lifetimes, which is the sentence he's serving after being convicted of a plan he was planning to commit, but never did. So when an old buddy shows up with a deal that could spring him from his hell behind bars, he's ready to listen.

From the moment he arrives in the Idaho mountain town where the cult is centered, Jesse finds every aspect of life dictated by the group's eerie, imposing leader. Pitted against not only the cult, but also the feds who sent him, Jesse feels control of his own life slipping away, and must make a final,desperate attempt to regain it -- or die trying.… (más)

Implausible thriller, but an interesting read ( )

Breakneck speed implausibilities exacerbated but the abridgement, which version I did NOT realize I was borrowing. It is possible this opinion reflects the abridgement rather than the tale. ( )

was really good ( )

Jessie Warden, a former FBI agent convicted of murdering his partner and robbing the evidence locker, is released from prison to infiltrate a suspected Aryan cult. The inference is the only one who could have set him up was his former boss, Dan Barker.

As the novel progresses, Jessie settles in with a widow and her daughter assigned to him by the local preacher, a real charismatic piece of work. In short order he quickly moves up in the only big business in town, Wood Products and convinces the pastor Coldwater and his thugs that he's legitimate and not a gov'y spy.

Well written, with believable characters, enough scene development to give the reader a clear view of the local environment and its people and a compelling story to boot.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable read and well worthy of the Stuart Woods name. ( )
