Conspiracy of Silence by Ronie Kendig

Four years after a tragic mission decimated his team, Cole "Tox" Russell has been disavowed by the United States. And that's fine--he just wants to be left alone. But when a dormant, centuries-old disease is unleashed, Tox is lured back into action.

In Conspiracy of Silence by Ronie Kendig, Tox and his former Special Forces team regroup to work with FBI deception expert, Kasey Cortes, and fiery archaeologist, Tzivia Khalon, to search the globe for answers--and a cure. As the mission leads from one continent to another, it becomes clear they're not just fighting a plague but battling an ancient secret society whose true goals remain hidden.

With time running out and the threat for a global pandemic rising, Tox and his team realize their sole chance might be to reach back through centuries of silence to find the only answer that can save them all.

This was a very suspenseful and energetic read. But, I also found it a little confusing. I don't know if I was reading it too fast, or if it was that so many of the characters and places started with the letter “T.” I was a bit lost sometimes, and I think that may it difficult for me to be completely engrossed in it. But, with that said, I still did find it a good read. I also found the setting and places talked about are so timely in the news right now, which was interesting. So, I do recommend this book, especially if you like characters in the military. It is the first book in a series, so there is more to come with the characters. I am not sure if I will be reading the rest of this series, but I know there are others who will really enjoy this book and the rest of the series.
