Dodging rogue operatives and a doomsday cult, CIA operatives, Ridley Fox and Nita Parris, are thrown headfirst into a deadly game of spy vs. spy when they learn that a prehistoric microbe has not only been unearthed—but weaponized.
Where would you hide if a hyperdeadly microbe was unleashed on the human race?
CIA operative, Ridley Fox, never stopped hunting his fiancée's killers—a weapons consortium called The Arms Of Ares. When Fox follows a lead to one of their top-secret bioweapons facilities in Chechnya, he barely escapes alive. However, he's learned that Ares has weaponized a hyper-deadly microbe called Pandora. The trail leads Fox to Tokyo, where he teams up with an old flame and fellow operative, Nita Parris. Aside from Ares, they must contend with rogue agents who'll stop at nothing to get Pandora. This throws Fox and Parris into a deadly game of spy vs spy, as they must rely on each other to locate Pandora. For if it's unleashed, it could mean the end of humanity.

Holy Infiltration, Batman!
Mr Brooks can write a mean terrorists story. His characters are vivid and gritty. The plot runs smoothly and has lots of twists and turns, and the action keeps you turning the pages.
Pandora's Succession
This was a great read and a change to my current genre of paranormal that I have been devouring recently.
It starts with Ridley Fox being captured, and it turn out he has been captured by the same people he has been hunting in a search for answers to his fiance’s death a group called "Arms of Ares". They have unleashed a deadly weapon called Pandora that can end all life as we know it, and he along with his partner, Nita, must find it before it get into the wrong hands.
This was non stop action from the very start, I mean Fox gets a kick to the head in the first few pages! And packed with information about guns (which I know nothing about), the CIA and biochemistry. Brooks has done a great job at explaining this stuff without it coming across as being boring and long winded. I loved the twists and turns, just when you thing you have it figured out, bam turns out you are wrong. I love twists in books :)
I you like action thrillers then I do recommend you check this one out, I for one loved it and cant wait to read more of Ridley Fox.

His partner stood beside the open briefcase. "You couldn't have been more perfect." He took the fluorescent-green vial and let it drop gently on the ground without breaking. He then hit the alarm button. The siren was heard for miles. It was not too long after, that ten of the guards burst through the doorway with their assault rifles in position. They fanned out to cover the inside of the dome. "What's the emergency?" yelled the leader of the two scientists, and then he saw Cole's body with the dagger protruding from his stomach. His assault rifle shot up immediately. "Both of you, hands in the air. Do it, now!" Within seconds, they had encircled the two scientists. "I repeat," yelled the leader to the two scientists. "Put your hands up, or we will be forced to shoot you." The two white-coats didn't obey him, but instead looked at each other and smiled. "For The Promise?" The partner already had the vial under the heel of his shoe. As he slowly raised his hands along with the assailant, he breathed his last breath and crushed the vial. It wasn't long before what felt like millions of microscopic teeth tearing away at the flesh, starting with his foot and then moving to the rest of his body.
Ridley Fox was a former JTF2 operative who has since been recruited into the CIA. He has the job of his life and should he fail, the whole world, as we now know it, will be at risk from the deadly "Pandora." At the time a group known as the "Arms of Ares" which is made up of former intelligence operatives, originating from the former Soviet Union, has Pandora and plans to sell it to the highest bidder... but Hexagon Pharmaceuticals has their own feelers out to acquire it for their own use.
This book is designed for the need for action reader and believe me, it fulfills that need. There is barely a page that is turned without fast, pack energy and suspense. And the best part is that Fox has no idea who he can and can't trust. Hexagon has its hands, or should I say mind, into many high places through its mind control cult making no one safe to deal with.
When reading this book I found myself being like Fox... not believing anything anyone said nor did, except Fox and I was beginning to worry a bit about him. This is a 'man's' book but some of us women who like a good action will love it too.
