From the back cover
“Former Marine Rebecca ‘Beck’ Tibbet needs help.
“Her ex-husband has taken their daughter to live with The Lightbringers.
“But what seems like a harmless bunch of Jesus Freaks is actually a devil-worshipping doomsday cult bent on igniting Armageddon.
“And with less than 36 hours
to go, Beck must reassemble her squad and lead them on one mission, deep into
the cult’s hideout in an abandoned gold mine where she will soon be trading
bullets with the devil.”
Review
Trading is a fast-paced, tightly edited novel, a fun, genre-true read, with its 1970s cinematic devil cult-meets-Don Pendleton’s Mack Bolan action books** (I’m a fan of both genres and Pendleton in particular). I hadn’t read Trading co-author Cross before, but I have read Steensland’s other, excellent works, and I’m looking forward to reading further works from them. Trading is a good read, worth purchasing.
(** = Pendleton created the Mack Bolan/ “Executioner” character,
writing the first thirty-eight novels detailing Bolan’s initial “Mafia War,”
starting with The Executioner #1: War Against the Mafia, 1969; ghost
writers penned the rest of the 600+ novels, put out by HarperCollins’ Gold
Eagle imprint, to whom Pendleton sold his Bolan/character rights in 1980, according
to Wikipedia.)
