He's suspicious that the United States is being mislead and lured into conflict. He quietly enlists DJ and his team to run their own investigation.

Good listen

I found this to be entertaining of the continuing slaughter saga, not greater than some of the past but definitely not the worst,

Good Clean fun

These Slaughter books are a favorite. I like that the author keeps it clean and I would have no problem letting my kids listen or read these books. With that I enjoy them as well, right behind Jack Reacher, Gray Man and Mitch Rapp.

High octane techno-thriller!

DARKEST KNIGHT is Book 5 in the DJ Slaughter series by by James Beltz. One of the least unlikely events in the novel is a Slaughter's pregnant wife's water breaking in the White House oval office. It's a fun ride! Narration is excellent.

Too many loose ends

I love suspending reality and stretching my imagination. This story requires a lot of that. That didn’t bother so much. Just so many loose ends - I hate to highlight and ruin the story for others.
Even with this seeming departure from the writer’s usual style - I enjoyed the story and will continue reading the series.

Disappointment

Sucked - End of the series I assume. If not, I don’t think I can handle another like this one.
