Not on My Watch

Great book! Good storyline. Everything happens in one day. The author obviously knows a lot about the Marines and nuclear weapons. Fortunately, he didn't go overboard on either one of these. That would have slowed down the pace. The human story behind the nuclear threat is Cassie's coming to terms with herself. By weaving action based choices with flashbacks and dreams, the author brings Cassie to life. She is a likeable, believable female heroine. Cassie does not use physical force to combat her adversaries. That kind of shenanigan found in many other thrillers with female heroines is just not believable for anyone who has evolved in the real world. Cassie uses her Marine training and her intelligence. Highly recommend “Not on my watch”. Now I'm going to read Jeff Bailey's second book.
