Book Review-Hope Of The World by Boyd Craven (World Burns #11)

One Last Chance
Michael and King work to take control of the bunker that housed the traitorous DHS agents, while John and King figure out who can be trusted.

Col. Grady's sudden dismissal has left the president in a lurch. When he needs him, Grady has gone to ground as he promised to avoid the fallout from Chinese bombers.

An old warrior, a man who was once mistaken for John Norton, crawls out of the darkness to join the war against all Americans. His is a battle for decency, peace, and sanity. Can the Devil Dog, formerly known as Dick Pershing, pull off one or two more apparent suicidal missions and help end the madness?

Will Blake, Sandra, and Chris survive to the happy ending we all hope they have? And what of the baby? 

My Review: 
The attack in the bunker begins and a shocked Shannon is quickly forced to pick a side with limited information to go with, as chaos breaks out. Can she trust in Michael that he is one of the good guys and can Michael be sure that she is not in on the Jihadi plot?

The President is furious to hear that Grady has escaped house arrest and fled with the men who were guarding him. With Grady on the loose and cooperating with the Homestead, the President has plenty to worry about. His loyal aide Patrick has made a decision on how to deal with his growing distate at working for a spineless useless President and his decision will have huge consequences. Can he persuade China to halt the planned strike on the United States?

John is surprised to get in touch with his old friend Mike, a man struggling with mental illness and his own demons. Mike and travelling companion Courtney agree to help the cause but Mike is distracted when he discovers that some local thugs have imprisoned a group of women to be used as sex slaves for his men. There is no way that Mike is going to let that happen.

This is the final book in the World Burns series and it is a decent read, especially Patrick's storyline which I found satisfying. I was happy that my favourite characters seemed to come through unscathed, but I find myself glad that the series has now officially ended. I started to fall out of love with the series after book seven and didn't enjoy it as much after that. That's not to say that the second half of the series was rubbish or anything like that-I just liked it better with the main focus on Blake at the Homestead. I felt that suddenly introducing new enemies in such an advanced part of the story didn't work for me personally, with a few of my favourite characters being sidelined in the plot.

Overall this was a good series to read and I have a few more books by the author to try.
