Kendig Ratchets Up the Action in Her New Suspense Series!
Four years after a tragic mission decimated his career and his team, Cole “Tox” Russell is persona non grata to the United States. And that’s fine–he just wants to be left alone. But when a dormant, centuries-old disease is unleashed, Tox is lured back into action.
Partnered with FBI agent Kasey Cortes, Tox has to pull together a team to begin a globe-spanning search for answers–and a cure. As their quest leads them from continent to continent, it slowly becomes clear they’re not just fighting a plague–but battling against an ancient secret society whose true goals remain hidden.
With time running out and opposition growing on every side, the key to everything may rest in an antique codex, the Crown of Jerusalem–but will Tox and his team be able to trust each other enough to break this century-spanning conspiracy of silence?

Summary
Conspiracy of Silence by Ronie Kendig. Ronnie is one of the authors that I will read any book she writes without reading the book description. In addition, I had not read The Warrior’s Seal which was the novella that is currently free and sets up the story. So for me finding out that Tox/Cole has a relationship with the president was a shock and the entire backstory of the president’s wife and sister was fascinating. Within the first three chapters, I felt like there was tidbits of information revealed that just kept building my interest. I love the entire team and can't wait for Ram and Cell to get their own stories. Once again Ronie gives you just enough information that you cannot wait to find out the rest of Ram’s backstory. I'm also assuming "the stranger” will continue to make appearances. Ronie does an amazing job of creating a captivating cast of characters that are easy to follow. Each of them is so unique in their talents and mysteries. The Flame and Arrow organization was a very well created villain. A story of good versus evil through the centuries. The president’s adviser is one of those people that you absolutely hate, sometimes even more so than the Flame and Arrow organization. Ronie has also taken the path less traveled with some of her main characters which leaves you on the edge of your seat not sure who will live or die or come back with all their limbs(you know who I am talking about). I was absolutely fascinated by Haven's job. My only criticism was that I wanted to see Kasey/Haven and more of her work. It was enthralling to see her dissect a conversation for deceptions. I would be thrilled if she had her own spinoff series. I think this is a skill I would love to have but at the same time you probably don't want to know how many times people are being deceptive. The book is mesmerizing on so many levels; the personal side of the story with Tox and Kasey/Haven, Tox and his brother, watching Haven work, and the suspense/action of the poison and people trying to kill them. I am sure there will be even more revealed in future books.
