Something discovered deep in a cave in Afghanistan in 2003
has found its way to Texas. Dealing with the malevolent
ramifications will take every bit of control, agility,
strength, and intelligence Ranger Caitlin Strong, aided by
Cort Wesley Masters, Colonel Paz, and Ranger D.W. Tepper,
can muster.
It all starts when a busload of high school students from
Houston disappear without a trace while on a field trip to
a nature preserve. Then a distraught rancher claims
something evil came and ate his herd of cattle, leaving
behind nothing but the bones. Could these events be
connected to a genetically engineered pesticide developed
by billionaire oilman Calum Dane? Or is the key something
even more sinister dating back to the Cold War involving
the Russians and something called "agroterrorism"
investigated decades before?
As D.W. Tepper slowly reveals personal events from the
past, Caitlin and Cort Wesley are in for some surprise
revelations about their fathers and their volatile
relationship, as well as their dealings with the Russian
mob over 30 years ago. The connection to what is
transpiring now is astounding and helps reveal solutions to
the current situation. Will Caitlin be capable of thwarting
the deadly attack being waged against her beloved Texas?
You bet! This fifth-generation Ranger will stop at nothing
to protect what (and who) she loves.
STRONG LIGHT OF DAY, Jon Land's electrifying seventh
Caitlin Strong thriller, is filled to the brim with
mesmeric plot twists and an unforgettable cast of
characters, both good and bad. Suspense is expertly
sustained in a masterfully developed plot as Jon
Land affords fans of this superb series another dynamic
novel with a truly unique protagonist. I have read/reviewed
every Caitlin Strong book and found each one to be an
exceptionable reading experience. I can't wait for number
eight!
Texas ranger Caitlin Strong is involved in an international plot rooted in secrets from the Cold War in Strong Light of Day, the seventh installment of Jon Land's New York Times bestselling Caitlin Strong series Afghanistan, 2003: During a mountain raid, a team of Navy SEALs discovers plans for a new and ingenious attack on the United States. The Present: Fifth-generation Texas Ranger Caitlin Strong is summoned when thirty high school kids from a Houston prep school vanish during a field trip, including the son of her lover, Cort Wesley Masters. As if that wasn't enough, Caitlin also has to deal with a crazed rancher whose entire herd of cattle has been picked clean to the bone. The link between these two inexplicable events dates back to the contents of that Afghan cave raided by the SEALs, and a plot by forces within Russia to win a war they never stopped fighting. At the center of that plot are billionaire Calum Dane and his multinational conglomerate, currently embroiled in controversy over a genetically engineered pesticide that has the potential to eradicate hunger across the world. Dane doesn't know that this pesticide has spawned a new and deadly enemy capable of destroying the very fabric of American life. Caitlin's race to save the country weaves through the present and the past, confronting her with the most powerful and dangerous foes she's ever faced. The Cold War hasn't just heated up; it's boiling over under the spill of a strong light only Caitlin can shut off before it's too late.
