   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) SteveAldous | Jul 21, 2012 |  In this third and action-packed thriller, Jon Land shares more details of the Strong family history. Strong at the Break opens on a rare afternoon that Jim Strong and his 13-year old daughter have set aside for fishing. But a stakeout precedes the fishing and Caitlin has spent enough time with her grandfather Earl Strong to know that the stakeout will have to come first. It's at a religious retreat led by a fringe preacher Arno who is surrounded by bodyguards. When Arno emerges with his young son and bodyguards, Jim instructs Caitlin to stay safe in the car and walks over to confront Arno alone. Years later, Caitlin faces Arno's son Malcolm as he leads a militia movement that threatens to unleash chaos and destruction across the country. But a fringe paramilitary movement isn't all that Caitlin is trying to subdue. She finds herself investigating a large drug smuggling operation at the US-Canada border. Strong at the Break also brings back Cort Wesley Masters, the notorious gunman and Caitlin's love interest. Cort's young son has been kidnapped and the trail somehow leads back to Malcolm Arno's group. In the third Caitlin Strong book, Jon Land delivers a fast-paced, action-packed and thoroughly satisfying adventure! I've always liked how Caitlin Strong never shirks from doing the right thing. I enjoy worrying about her and wincing as she jumps into dangerous situations (professionally and in her romantic life with Cort Wesley Masters). This time, in Strong at the Break, we also learn more about her childhood growing up with the legendary rangers Earl Strong and Jim Strong which adds to the complexity and fun of this latest Jon Land work. If you're looking for a thriller with a heart - and a thoroughly satisfying read - pick up Strong at the Break!

 “Strong at the Break” by Jon Land Caitlin Strong is a girl who grows up in the shadow of two Texas rangers, her grandfather, Earl Strong and her father, Jim. Her last name suits her to a ‘T.’ She was in Midland, Texas with her father when he took down Reverent Maxwell Arno and his boys. With influences like Earl and Jim, how could she grow up to be anything but a Texas Ranger? Caitlin finds herself in Quebec. With the help of six DEA agents and some local and state cops out of New York, The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and a tribal policeman, they manage to “shut down” the LaChance brothers who are wanted in Canada and Michigan for murder. She takes down the LaChance’s BC Bud—a potent strain of marijuana—operation that’s been “growing” in cheap, gutted houses. Her life is never boring. After the LaChance case, Caitlin finds herself waist deep in the “disappearance” of Dylan Masters, the son of her friend, Cort Wesley Masters. She has a decision to make regarding her friend. The authorities are looking to have Cort extradited because he’s wanted for a murder in Mexico. And she’s the one who’s supposed to bring him in. Dylan previously saved the life of a young woman who was kidnapped by a man believed to be responsible for four hundred serial murders of woman across the Texas/Mexican border. It involved the Texas Rangers and Cort Wesley Masters in a battle with drug cartels and a renegade Mexican colonel. Dylan emerged with a chip on his shoulder that he felt made him exceptional and invincible. Maybe the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree—with many families. Land pens a story south of the border with lots of little tidbits that all fit together to make up a magnificent puzzle. If you want to read a great story, pick this one up.
