Summary
From New York Times， USA Today， and Publishers Weekly bestselling author Joel C。 Rosenberg comes the fifth military and international political thriller in the Marcus Ryker series。
The world’s most wanted terrorist is dead。 Marcus Ryker recommended the drone strike himself。 The intelligence was rock-solid。 But what if it was wrong？
Abu Nakba―the man responsible for lethal attacks in Washington， D。C。， London， and Jerusalem―is finally dead。 Marcus Ryker has been tasked with hunting down and destroying what’s left of the terror group Kairos。
But before Ryker can mobilize his team of CIA operatives with their new assignment， a disturbing report from Libya suggests all may not be as it seems。 The U。S。 bombing that should have taken out Nakba’s headquarters now appears to have been a disastrous mistake―and Ryker himself may be responsible。
With Kairos gearing up for a major retaliatory strike against the U。S。， time is short， and terror cells may already be inside American borders。 But Ryker won’t be able to stop this threat until he clears his own name， and his closest ally inside the White House can no longer help him。
The Libyan diversion threatens to leave Ryker on the sidelines just when his country needs him most。
Packed with action and intrigue， this thriller novel is everything Joel’s fans have come to expect。
A high-stakes suspense novel for fans of Jack Carr， Ryan Steck， and Kyle Mills
Perfect for fans of geopolitical thrillers

Rosenberg writes a great story and Marcus Ryker is one of the best protagonists out now。 This is one of several in this series and Marcus Ryker finally thinks he has gotten his nemesis only to find out his elusive prey is still out there。 A really great book that keeps the action going where Ryker seems to be a few steps behind Abu Nabka as the race to avoid a terrifying event that may happen at any moment somewhere in the US。 I enjoyed the character development for Ryker and how him and his old Rosenberg writes a great story and Marcus Ryker is one of the best protagonists out now。 This is one of several in this series and Marcus Ryker finally thinks he has gotten his nemesis only to find out his elusive prey is still out there。 A really great book that keeps the action going where Ryker seems to be a few steps behind Abu Nabka as the race to avoid a terrifying event that may happen at any moment somewhere in the US。 I enjoyed the character development for Ryker and how him and his old gang put aside everything to save the day。 I hope there are many more Ryker adventures forthcoming。 。。。more

So far I have loved every book I have read by Joel Rosenberg。 This one was just as good， if not better， than the others。 He has a special gift for making the reader feel the tension in the suspense to the point that I started to sweat a few times。 This was a nail biter for sure。 And the horror of a few situations made me sad， but they were well done and believable。 I felt the anger and frustration of the characters as if it were my own。 His descriptions were realistic and parallel enough to real So far I have loved every book I have read by Joel Rosenberg。 This one was just as good， if not better， than the others。 He has a special gift for making the reader feel the tension in the suspense to the point that I started to sweat a few times。 This was a nail biter for sure。 And the horror of a few situations made me sad， but they were well done and believable。 I felt the anger and frustration of the characters as if it were my own。 His descriptions were realistic and parallel enough to real world events that sometimes I forgot that I was reading a novel。 The plot could have been a real situation and the author provided enough detail that you were locked into the locale and situation each time you entered a scene。 The issues kept getting deeper and the faith element was clear， but not overwhelming。 I have occasionally read stories where I said to myself， "Come on， this is too coincidental。" Not so with this book。 The author made things tense but the leads the followed never felt contrived。 I appreciated how he put you in the point of view of the terrorists on occasion so you understood their thinking。 There was almost constant action - like in a Jason Bourne novel - but just enough breaks with dinner and conversation to give you a chance to catch your breath。 I liked the behind the scenes issues that drove the government's decisions - often politics determined the course of events as opposed to the right thing to do - which made the story that much more believable to me。 I loved this book， gruesome descriptions and all， for the truth of the reality of terrorism and destructive beliefs that drive zealots into heinous acts of unnecessary violence， as well as the redemption/vindication that the author showed via resolution at the end。 I can't wait to read the next installment。 。。。more

Exciting！The Libyan Diversion is the fifth book in Rosenberg’s thrilling series featuring CIA Agent Marcus Ryker， who is pretty much everything you want in a main character。 In Ryker， Rosenberg’s protagonist has the right touch and balance between humanizing him and allowing him to remain slightly larger than life。 Put more simply， he’s flawed， yet extremely capable。I won’t describe the plot of The Libyan Diversion， as this can be found in the Amazon or Goodreads Book Descriptions。 I’ll just say Exciting！The Libyan Diversion is the fifth book in Rosenberg’s thrilling series featuring CIA Agent Marcus Ryker， who is pretty much everything you want in a main character。 In Ryker， Rosenberg’s protagonist has the right touch and balance between humanizing him and allowing him to remain slightly larger than life。 Put more simply， he’s flawed， yet extremely capable。I won’t describe the plot of The Libyan Diversion， as this can be found in the Amazon or Goodreads Book Descriptions。 I’ll just say that， while， comparatively， I didn’t find it to be quite as compelling as the first three 'excellent books in the series， I did enjoy it a lot and highly recommend it to any thriller lover for the following reasons:。。。 It is virtually un-put-downable from beginning to end， and has almost as much of a nail-biter plot as the other books in the series。;。。。Rosenberg does an excellent job in researching the subject matter of this book。;。。。Typical of books by Rosenberg， the subject matter is so topical that you feel that one day it could be the front page headline of your favorite newspaper; and。。。The author’s writing style enables the reader to feel transported right into the middle of all the plot's twists and turns。。Definitely worth your consideration。#The Libyan Diversion #Net Galley 。。。more

Non stop action！ Thanks to Net Galley for the advanced copy。 I have read the entire series to date and just when you think that this series will slow down， Joel hits another gear。 The story is griping and can be considered relevant in todays time。 Without giving things away， it’s an epic book！ 5/5

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review "The Libyan Diversion" by Joel C。 Rosenberg。The latest in the Marcus Ryker adventure thrillers is here， and boy is it a doozy！ The diversion in the title is at the heart of this one， and spurs on all of the action that follows。Returned from his ordeal with Kairos in Lebanon， Marcus Ryker is once again plunged into intrigue; it has been determined that the leader of Kairos' lair has been discovered， and Ryker immediat Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review "The Libyan Diversion" by Joel C。 Rosenberg。The latest in the Marcus Ryker adventure thrillers is here， and boy is it a doozy！ The diversion in the title is at the heart of this one， and spurs on all of the action that follows。Returned from his ordeal with Kairos in Lebanon， Marcus Ryker is once again plunged into intrigue; it has been determined that the leader of Kairos' lair has been discovered， and Ryker immediately urges the President and his Cabinet to launch a strike at the heart of terrorism。Even in the middle of a massive sandstorm， the strike is launched and is successful - but is later appears that what was struck was not a terrorist haven， but a civilian building， and the President and Marcus are condemned and excoriated by the press， by Congress and by the people of the USA。In the meantime， in retaliation for the strike， Kairos launches their most audacious attack of all time: the Pope is about to visit the USA， in the wake of the recent peace accords with Israel， and he will be holding mass in four American cities， one of which will also see the President and First Lady as communicants。Ultimately vindicated of the civilian strike， when actual proof of what occurred is uncovered， Marcus and his team must seek out the Kairos operatives before they can strike at the heart of democracy。As usual， Mr。 Rosenberg's story incorporates religion at the heart of his stories - both Islam and Christianity。 Of course， the terrorists are truly evil and the Christians are ultimately good。 But that doesn't detract from the absolute heart-pounding action that is at the heart of all of the Marcus Ryker thrillers。 。。。more

I inhaled this book in two days around my day job and writing。 It grabbed a hold and wouldn't let me go with fast pacing and characters I've come to love。 The race between a terrorist attack and stopping it is taunt and gripping。 Like most of Rosenberg's books， the action circles the globe before coming to rest in the United States。 His books remind me of the Gabriel Allon series with hard charging pacing and characters that feel like family。 Add in faith and this book is the full package for th I inhaled this book in two days around my day job and writing。 It grabbed a hold and wouldn't let me go with fast pacing and characters I've come to love。 The race between a terrorist attack and stopping it is taunt and gripping。 Like most of Rosenberg's books， the action circles the globe before coming to rest in the United States。 His books remind me of the Gabriel Allon series with hard charging pacing and characters that feel like family。 Add in faith and this book is the full package for thriller lovers。 。。。more
