The National Security Agency Director, Theodore Anders has a computer program called The God’s Eye View. It taps into all cameras and video streams no matter who owns the device. They use it to spy on anyone and everyone. Evelyn Gallagher is a computer analyst and discovers several coincident accidents. After she revealed information about intelligent operatives, they either committed suicide or had a fatal accident. She becomes suspicious and brings her concerns to the Director. Now she has become a threat to the Director’s program, and he must send in his assassins before she moves from threat to problem.
The story is fast paced, the characters are mostly developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. While reading this book, Trigger warning: there is violence and an attempted rape. I felt like yelling at Evelyn. It was like watching someone in a horror movie opening a door and the monster on the other side. So many times, she did things that put herself into danger. The character of Manus, one of the assassins, shows that even a beast of a man has a heart. If you like thrilling action adventure with spies and assassins, you will enjoy reading this book.
