His name is Maxx. One X isn’t enough for a guy this dangerous.

Maxx King is a former Army Ranger turned cybercrime investigator trying to get his life back on track when he has an unexpected confrontation with a ruthless Chinese spy. Struggling to understand the escalating violence, he discovers a clandestine US-China conflict centered around a device of unknown origins with the power to trigger massive natural disasters.

Caught between competing US government agencies, Chinese assassins, secret informants, and a rising number of deaths, Maxx must get to the truth before the next catastrophe strikes. Things get personal when it turns out his girlfriend, Gabby, has been working on the covert project and may be the source of damaging leaks that threaten national security.

The clock is ticking, and a break in the code reveals that something big will happen on September 11th, 2001.

Thunderbird Rising is an action-packed alternate-history thriller full of uncertain loyalties, deceit, and international espionage set in Seattle and New York City.

5 stars

Cool plot twist when we discover what is the origin of this unique device that can cause natural catastrophes. Then, two world powers will try to get it. China Vs USA. This thrilling, fast-paced action is right there with Michael Crichton and James Patterson books. I got the audiobook, it worked really well, and I had to take a break before going to sleep, or I would be too awake and not be able to put it down. The team is cool, and the murders that happen are breathtaking (because I wasn't expecting them).

spoilers: select the invisible sentence under this one if you want to read it.

👉The device is non-human, alien technology AH!
