Field of fire by Mark Cameron

"Field of fire" by Mark Cameron - Should have been field of snow!
This book was published by Pinnacle in 2016 and has 448 pages. This is Book 7 of Jericho Quinn series. 

Jericho Quinn and Veronica (Ronnie) Garcia, now a couple, are travelling through Alaska. Jericoh's plans to propose Ronnie goes for a toss when a deadly nerve gas called 'New archangel' goes missing from Russia and is used by Islamist terrorists in America, twice. Multiple casualties. The Russian scientist, who invented it, and his daughter run away from Russia and land in Alaska. 

Two teams are formed. Quinn and Tibido's cousin FBI agent go after the Russian scientist and his daughter who go missing in Alaska. Tibido, Ronnie and August Bowen go after son of the Russian scientist, who is a cage fighter in America. 

Quinn almost dies of hypothermia in cold Alaskan landscape. There is another party after the Russian scientist. Quinn has to fight on multiple fronts. Other team does not have it easy either. 

The story starts well, develops nicely. Backdrop of Alaskan landscape is a novelty. Readers expect the climax to too take them higher.  But the climax is not good. It's abrupt, lacks action, lacks tension and doesn't heighten the graph.

Why did I read this book? Author. 
What did I like? Alaska. 
What I didn't like? Climax. 

Read, if you have spare time.
