About this ebook

A family of spies. A network of killers. A treacherous, planned attack on the world’s most powerful leaders—and the final countdown to Armageddon . . .
 
Jacobslav Scarvan is supposed to be dead. Once a ruthless assassin for the KGB, he went too far when he burned a family alive for the sheer pleasure of it—and became a target himself. Both the CIA and Russian intelligence wanted him eliminated. CIA agent Scott Roberts was the man to do it. Three bullets should have been enough to kill Scarvan. But it only forced the rogue agent deeper underground—to places that will forever haunt him . . .
 
Twenty years later Scott and his daughter Mara are working for the US president, using their joint experience to form an elite Alpha Team of highly skilled operatives. Their mission is to hunt down and destroy the apocalyptic shadow organization known as Omega. But when they learn that Scarvan is still alive—plotting revenge after undergoing a twisted radicalization that makes him more dangerous than ever—Scott and Mara must race across the globe to prevent an epic disaster. This time, when the clock runs out, the end times begin . . .
 
“With an alpha female heroine and a tantalizing premise, this hard-edged, gripping thriller matches wits and wiles, delivering an entertaining romp.”—Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author on Silent Threat

Ratings and reviews

Imminent Threat by Jeff Gunhus A Scott and Mara Roberts Thriller #2 Omega is the threat…and Alpha Team, undercover operative group, is to find and take Omega down. Mara and Scott Roberts are on the team though Mara has taken some much-needed time off only to be called in before she was ready. Why? Omega is to be put on the back burner because a dangerous Russian spy everyone thought was dead has surfaced twenty years after he was supposedly buried. Will they be able to take down the spy? Will Omega be seen? Will Scott and Mara survive to show up in another book? Hopefully, they will. Action-packed, global travel, plenty of bad guys to deal with and the hope that good will thwart evil in this book that is not the end of the series. I loved book one in this series and the opening scene of this book was intense and then I had to suspend belief a bit as the story continued. I am not thrilled with religious zealots and people out to end the world…perhaps because it seems to hit too close to home this year and where I live in the Middle East. The writing was well done, and the story flowed easily with a few flashbacks here and there with twist, turns and surprises as well. Did I enjoy this book? For the most part Would I read more in this series? I think so Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington books for the ARC – This is my honest review. 4 Stars
