5.0 out of 5 stars A Nail-Biting Thriller, May 23, 2011

Ryne Douglas Pearson creates a realistic and chilling band of domestic terrorists in this outing for his FBI agent hero Art Jefferson. He also gives them a plausible plan to wreak serious havoc on the U.S. government. Expect fast page turning and nail-biting suspense when you pick up, or download, this title. Jefferson's in a race against time to stop a plot that's almost impossible to detect. To say more would spoil the twists and surprises. If you enjoy action thrillers, you won't be disappointed here.

This review is from: Capitol Punishment (An Art Jefferson Thriller) (Kindle Edition)

A study on hate and homegrown terrorism : white supremacists and African Liberation Front's are two sides of the same coin and are the protagonists of this thriller.

The plot starts by a 911 call and the quick death of the first responders, followed by the discovery of the bodies of the chemist and his buyer of a nerve agent. Soon, FBI agents Art Jefferson and Frankie Aguirre realize that two more canisters of the gas were made and are somewhere in the hands of terrorists.

The story follows the steps of the bad guys and the FBI agents who try to stop them. It is well done but not a really intricate plot. I found most of the characters unidimensional and the motives for their actions either not well explained or too simplistic.

Still it is a very enjoyable book, a nice read, with an all too believable plot.

I thought this book was amazingly good. Pearson puts together a great story full of very strong characters in this book. It features Art Jefferson, a character whom Pearson reprises in the following Simple Simon (check it out, it too is a good read). This story kind of hits home with the theme of terrorism and scenarios of attacks on American soil. Very realistic story. I give it five stars.
