Targets of Opportunity - A Review

Jordan Sandor is back with another fast-paced, action packed thriller, this time it's to fight an impending terrorist attack on the "Heart of America" the oil rigs and refineries.

Ahmad Jaber has offered vital information concerning these attacks in exchange for sanctuary in the USA.  However, the details are sketchy and vague at best, so Sandor sets out on the adventure of his career to stop the terrorists and save the country.

Targets of Opportunity by Jeffrey S. Stephens is a great read for any guy on your Christmas list.  It's plot will keep him turning the pages.  In addition, Stephens has taken the reader on a world-wide adventure.  With all the threats of terrorism that seem to loom, this book is one that could be plausible - I see big screen thriller written all over it!
