Derek Stillwater

review 1: The story follows a group of agents from various governmental anti-terrorism and law enforcement agencies trying to stop a homegrown terrorist cell attacking the US. This is a roller coaster ride from the first page until the last - not a book that can be read in short spurts to kill time. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down and found myself so intrigued by the plot and characters that I couldn't stay away. Its unfortunate that Terry's books aren't all available digitally because Stillwater's character made me a fan and I just want more!
review 2: I thought it was an amazingly well done thriller. A raid in Pakistan uncovers an al-queda plot to set off explosions in five US cities in two days. Dr. Derek Stillwater, an agent with homeland security, is as... moresigned to one of several multi-agency teams assigned to track down the explosives and stop the terrorists. The team Stillwater is assigned to is dysfunctional to say the least and Stillwater is a loose cannon himself. As you go through the two days with the team you hardly have a chance to catch your breath - the pace is incredible. I found the characters to be well-developed and interesting, the plot incredibly realistic (even scary), the writing style exceptional, and the book impossible to put down. I also liked that Mr. Terry was not afraid to kill off characters that I had begun to develop a bond with because it brought true emotion into the book. I definitely plan to go back and read other books in this series. less
