Unrest in the country among the Ghost Soldiers and the government. The Ghost Soldiers are desperate to take extreme measure to get the government to meet their demands. They have been attacking civilians and now they attack a group of American mountain climbers. Dr. Paige and her team respond to rescuing the survivors and have no choice but to bring them into the refuge camp.
Unknown to anyone they discover that one of the trekkers is carrying an infectious disease and are desperate to get supplies and help into the camp before it turns into an epidemic. The Ghost Soldiers have other plans for the camp and the already bad situation is a matter of life and death.
What a great book. It was filled with suspense, action, and faith filled. So many different characters in this story. The author did a good job with the sobering reality each individual face. A very realistic novel. I would love to see these characters in another book. I had no idea how this story would turn out. How refreshing is that. This has been the first book that I have read by Lisa Harris and I am sold! It has been a long time since I have read a book that I absolutely love 100%. This is the second book in the series and I can‘t wait to read the first book.
