But as Raptor closes in on the cyber terrorists responsible for killing two of their own, Sal must put his life—and the lives of his teammates—in her hands. Despite his anger, Cassie is ill-prepared for his resistance and the fallout when she must protect the one asset who can end the attacks. As allies become enemies and hostiles become unlikely partners, Raptor fights for its very existence.                                   

Revview: Falcon by Ronnie Kendig. Part of the Quiet Professionals series.This was exciting and suspenseful. It takes place with a special ops unit which is deployed in Afganistan. It delves into the personal pain of the main character as well as following the general storyline of war and terrorism. There is a "spook" an intelligence operative along as well and she has a very major tie to Falcon. There is a terrorist who is being sought . When someone is caught and is to be questioned regarding the acts of terrorism the witness gets neutralized. Other strange things happen. A commanding officer is sacrificed and powerful players are involved including an old friend of Cassidy, the intelligence officer. The depiction of the camaraderie between service members was nice. The real sense of danger these people face while deployed was significant. I could not help thinking as I was reading cerrain sectIons of the book that it would translate well into film.The action scenes especially.  A very difficult subject for many people (spoiler here a bit) was the issue of self-harm so if this is a trigger for you opt out. Likewise I would not recommend it for a combat veteran who has had vivid dreams, flashbacks or other symptoms of Post traumatic stress syndrome. Otherwise it was a good novel that dealt with both personal relationships and military situations. There were plot twists thAt I was not expecting so bravo to the author. You totally got me.
