review 1: This was part of a bundle called - 7 Deadly Thrills. I have greatly enjoyed each and every one.In this book Julia Nolan is a neurosurgeon doing breaking edge research on implants of tiny microprocessors into the brains of volunteer soldiers. Her latest 2 she feels were deployed too soon. She hadn't really completed her analyses, and what is up with the computer geek who keeps hanging out in her lab. He claims he is trying new protocols on the animals she has experimented on, uploading newer software. She complains to her husband who is military and helped get her this research opportunity. She feels the government is not keeping her in the loop about software changes and she foresees problems if they aren't going to trust her.Ian and his best buddy are deployed to Af... morerica. They are her latest test subjects. They are supposed to infiltrate a Chinese camp and send info back to the U.S. Everything goes wrong, including the U.S. bombing the facility and taking out Ian's friend.When Julia demands to see Ian and to find out what went wrong with the surgery and the chip, she learns he has lost his mind and is in a secure mental health facility. She is allowed to see him. He is being drugged. Julia ends up aiding Ian and the other inmates in an escape. She and Ian know they can only find out the answers if they return to Africa.The U.S. government is after them. The computer chip is trying to make Ian do things he doesn't want to do. Julia does surgery and removes the battery, but it still has a charge left in it. Meanwhile there is a coup of the country's government. Various U.S. government agencies want Ian and Julia dead. When she reaches out to her husband for some help, he sabotages her and one arm of the U.S. finds them. But Markov has doubts about his superior and stops to listen to Ian and Julia. Markov picks sides. Ian and Julia stay in Africa to try to stabilize the government. There are plots within plots. Several people are only out for personal gain. Others are true patriots. At a critical time Ian blacks out and Julia has to try to figure out why and then can she get the supplies she needs in Africa to save Ian. Will they survive their own governments plots to kill them. Will they survive the civil war going on in Africa? Who can they trust? Can they ever go home again? Or will they have to stay on the run?A very complex novel that kept me reading and reading.
review 2: Two operatives from the CIA are fitted with cortical implants and sent on a mission to Namibia (in South West Africa). Once there however, the implants start to behave unexpectedly causing the operatives to be compromised. Soldiers in the camp are killed as is one of the operatives.In a bid to determine what went wrong with the implants, Neurosurgeon Julia Nolan tracks down and visits the surviving operative in a special government asylum and this begins a process where her own life is at risk - and targetted for elimination.I thoroughly enjoyed this book, with its connections to South Africa and Namibia. I enjoyed the occasional Afrikaans ward or phrase the author threw into the mix. Some people will not know what the mean of course.One or two typos as well but not excessive. Well worth the read. less
