I received an electronic copy of this book to help facilitate the writing of this review.
Tempest of Fire Book Description:
Somalia has split in two, with armed insurgents threatening American lives. China has emerged as a leading arms exporter, supplying weapons to Third World nations. But before National Security Adviser Willis Avery can deal with either danger, he faces a new challenge
On her maiden voyage, Beijing’s newest and most advanced nuclear submarine is destroyed by a weapon of unimaginable power. While the loss of the sub is kept secret, America and her allies want to know what happened. Avery believes a renegade faction of China’s Navy is behind the attack, striking from a secret naval facility in the South China Sea, and assembles a group to investigate.
About the Author:
Steve Wilson is a multimedia designer for a large metropolitan newspaper, and has worked in advertising for over 25 years. He is a prior service Marine, now serving as a Master Sergeant in the Air Force Reserve. He is the father of two grown sons, and lives in Florida with his wife.
Over the course of his military career, he has received the Iraq and Afghanistan Campaign Medals, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, and the Air Force Commendation Medal. In 2010 he was named the Air Transportation NCO of the Year. His ties to the armed forces—as well as short-term mission trips—have taken him to Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Europe and the Pacific, as well as the former Soviet Union. These experiences have helped to shape his story lines.
You can connect with Steve on Facebook and his blog.

My Thoughts:
Michael Neill spent a little time behind the desk once he returned home from his last mission, but his heart was out in the field. He was happy to leave the desk job behind and get back into the action. Little did he know that he would be in the middle of a life and death mission all too soon.
Tempest of Fire is the latest Michael Neill novel from Steve Wilson. Once again, Wilson brings fast-paced military action that grabs the reader and holds their attention to the very end. The twists and turns throughout the novel keeps the reader guessing as the plot unfolds. Whether you’re a military member or a civilian, you’re sure to enjoy this suspense-filled novel. Wilson uses his military experience to make his novels realistic all the while presenting the information in a manner in which anyone can understand.
Other than a few typos that continually presented themselves in the Kindle version, I thoroughly enjoyed this latest Michael Neill novel. Both the characters and story line were well developed and believable, and I look forward to the next novel in the series.
