Cold Barrel Zero by Matthew Quirk
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read by Matthew Quirk and I really liked it. It sounds as if it is much different than his first two books in content. But, never the less, this is one good book. Quirk's writing is lean and moves with a frenetic pace. ^There are twists and turns and divided loyalties where at first you are really not sure who you should be rooting for.
The book concerns Thomas Byrne, a former combat medic who had been part of a deep cover Special Operations team led by John Hayes. Byrne, now a doctor who is trying to forget and atone for his past is recruited by a high government official to stop Hayes who is now, according to our government a rogue agent with his team bent on destroying America. Throw into the mix a dirty General, a mysterious figure from the Middle East and others and the truth is very hard to find.
I loved the character of Hayes, he is complex and noble and viscous in his own way, just as Byrne has other skills besides saving lives.
If you like well written thrillers, you will not be disappointed in this book.
