A solid fast-paced, action-packed novel about the good guys against the bad and those in-between. And how challenging it is for the NYPD, FBI and other US agencies to try to stay at least 1 step ahead of terrorists.

Many cool characters but they could all use a bit more personality, quirks, development. Hope that happens in the next few books in the Jeremy Fisk series.

Good read.

Like all of Dick Wolf's shows so figured I'd try his first book. Not bad but kept waiting for something exciting to happen, given the premise. Lots of characters but none really fleshed out. All in all a quick read and will try the next one he writes. ( )

1st Jeremy First book. Joint Anti-Terrorism Task Force/FBI/NYPD attempt to thwart the second in-country terrorism plot in NYC. ( )

Dick Wolf, known by most people as the man behind the many Law & Order television shows expands outwards into literature with his first novel, The Intercept. It's pretty good.

It opens with Osama Bin Ladin and shortly thereafter a raid on his house, then follows an unfolding terror attack based on his final instructions - to attack the west more intelligently.

Good tempo throughout, plenty of unfolding mystery and a good lead up to the eventual climax of the story.

Would definitely pick up the next one if I run into it. ( )

Book received from the publisher with no expectation of a review.

I tried reading this book a couple of times and ended up borrowing the audiobook from the library. Listening to the audiobook really helped me with this book. The first two parts seemed to go really slow, for me at least, and I kept putting the book down because of it. Listening to it, especially with the narrator they picked for it really helped me to finally get through and slightly enjoy those parts. I think some of my issues with it is due to the jumping around from year to year and place to place the author does. Things really pick up once you hit part three and I started to enjoy what was happening in the book. I originally agreed to review the book due to enjoying the author's work on "Law and Order". However, this book is very different and I wouldn't pick it up based on that alone. If you enjoy Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn, and Brad Thor I suggest giving this one a chance. ( )
