Excellent – an awesome action-packed adrenaline pumping adventure. If you like action get this book, it’s a page turner, the writing is tight. Military precise. I read this book in a couple days and rolled right into the second book in the trilogy.

Edge of my seat - great new author - Read it on the recommendation of a friend. Was skeptical at first- not a huge fan of action novels. Really surprised at how much I got into the book. The characters are really well developed. They are relatable and exciting at the same time. Would recommend this as a great summer read.

riveting!!!!!!! - Once you start Apok, good luck putting it down!!! It is a roller coaster ride with a lot of twists and turns. If you like to read books by David Baldacci, John Lescroart, or Lee Child, you will love this book. WHEN IS THE NEXT BOOK COMING OUT???

…Battles, catastrophes, and intrigue create the fires that will try Mejia’s mettle. No longer a “man on the edge,” he has plunged headlong into the abyss. I don’t know where it’s all leading, but book two of the Apok trilogy has me anxious to find out.

APOK CrossFire

An ocean of failure crashes against the jagged subconscious rocks of Colonel Miguel Mejia – aka APOK. Hunted without mercy, wanted Dead or Alive for kidnapping the world leader, he exists powerless and tormented by the reality of his situation; everything that he lived for, is or is about to be lost. Desperate and out of options, Miguel embarks to team up with an enemy of his enemy.

An ever-increasing social elite body count has everyone on edge, forcing politicians and business magnates to seek cover and demand answers. With death looming around every corner, the public supports World Leader Jasmine Lindsey securing sweeping authorities to create a safer space. Working the case, Detective Inspector Bandini is made aware of a disturbing issue with his evidence. Any attempt to bring it to light results in a bigger problem, keeping witnesses alive.

A clash between “the haves” and “the have nots” erupt in this cloak and dagger finale that sees Global Institutions torn down and replaced by ruthless rulers rejoicing in the chaos.

APOK Derailed

Global political conspiracies were a myth, until Colonel Miguel Mejia – aka APOK – discovered an organization named the Sons of Liberty. Tracking down its members, his investigation started succeeding until an explosion left him beaten, bloodied and broken. Drowning in pain, strung up in a hospital bed at a top secret military facility he volunteers for a radical new therapy.

Forcing himself to recover, he struggles through the pain. The Colonel grows frustrated watching highlights of the election of a new world leader plunging society into chaos, with heavily armed groups jockeying for position. As APOK’s strength returns, he realizes his hospital is not what it seems, his captors give him a choice: complete his training and kill the leader of the world, or watch his family and friends die.

Should Miguel succeed, he dies a failure; if he fails, he lives long enough to know he failed those closest to him; if he escapes, can he survive long enough to expose the truth?

APOK Derailed is the second in Walton’s trilogy of epic thrillers. Spanning the globe, it leaps from one heart-stopping scene to another, painting a vivid picture of the world of tomorrow.
