Fresh Fiction Review

Gambit
Karna Small Bodman

Thriller Political | Suspense

American planes are exploding and falling out of the sky and no one knows why. Three commercial jets are gone and no one saw anything or heard anything. There are no clues in the wreckage that indicate missiles were used. No other planes were in the areas of the crashes and nothing showed on radar. The only thing the President can do is call in Dr. Cammy Talbot, world-famous missile defense expert.

Cammy believes the explosions are the result of a new stealth technology and it's obviously being done by one of America's enemies, but none of the usual suspect groups is claiming responsibility. She must develop a defense system against the new threat and in order to do so, she must go to the hot spot of the world. India and Pakistan could go to nuclear war and Cammy may be the only one able to find an answer to keep them from each others' throats. Meanwhile, someone's trying to kill her, and working closely with Lt. Col. Hunt Daniels isn't doing her libido any good.

GAMBIT, the second novel by Karna Small Bodman, is even better than her first novel, CHECKMATE. This book has all the action and drama we hoped her second political thriller would provide and then some. The return of Cammy, along with Hunt and other characters from the first book, brings you right back into their world. I can't wait to read about Cammy's next adventure. Don't miss GAMBIT. And if you haven't read CHECKMATE, indulge yourself. You're worth it. A good read.

SUMMARY

American planes are being shot out of the sky, and no one knows how or why. Three commercial jets have gone up in flames. In each crash, nobody reported seeing anything in the sky and nothing showed up on the radar.

Dr. Cameron Talbot, a world-famous expert on missile- defense systems, believes that a new stealth technology is being used in these attacks. With the country in a panic and the economy taking a nosedive, the White House orders the beautiful young scientist to protect America’s endangered airways. Who is behind the threat? None of the usual suspects have claimed responsibility for the crashes. As Cammy races against time to develop a defense against the mystery weapon, she comes to suspect that the downed planes are only the opening gambit in an ambitious campaign of conquest.
