R. Overbeck

I enjoyed reading LEAVE NO CHILD BEHIND by Randy Overbeck. The first half of the book offered readers peeks into the White House readiness room, Al Quaida terrorist camps, the maximum security prison in mid-Ohio, and the local high school staff and students.

A top-level Al Quaida leader is scheduled to die by lethal injection within the next few days. A small terrorist group exercises its plan and takes the school students and faculty hostage. Their demands: free the prisoner or all at the school will perish. They killed two teachers during the takeover and then later, two more are ridiculed, beaten, thrown into the lake, and left for dead (Dee Dee and Jarod). Only they miraculously survived!

Once the takeover takes place, the story flies non-stop through the remaining pages. The terrorist group had an almost foolproof plan, one that kept everyone on the outside at bay. Jarod was an ex-Navy Seal, and together with Dee Dee, set out to fight the terrorists and free the students. Who will win and who else will die?

I have read other books by this author and enjoyed all of them. He is skilled at holding readers in suspense and then offering small breathers during these non-stop thrillers. Great job, Mr. Overbeck!… (plus d'informations)
