Lost Angels is the third installment of John Galt Robinson's series following the adventures of Navy Seal Joe O'Shanick and Christy Tabrizi MD. This book was hard to read due to the subject matter. Christy runs across a young woman who has been trafficked leading her and Joe deep into a rescue attempt of many human trafficking victims. This book is full of faith and supense with a touch of romance. The plot is very good and fast moving. The settings feel authentic. I do suggest you read Forces of Redemption and Power City first as it sets the scene for Lost Angels. I highly recommend this series.
All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
A powerful organized crime syndicate is abducting young women from college campuses and enslaving them into human trafficking. Charles Courtnall is a wealthy investor willing to sacrifice his personal fortune to find his daughter. He hires Clay Whitmore and his team of investigators to find her, only to find out she is being offered to the highest bidder in a global dark web auction. Clay and his team are stymied at every turn by a sinister criminal organization that has deep government ties and stays one step of ahead of them.
Dr. Christy Tabrizi, an Emergency Medicine physician, treats a young woman who managed to escape the human trafficking ring. Christy enlists the help of her close friend, Joe O’Shanick, a Navy SEAL, to locate and rescue the other women. O’Shanick and his teammate, Matt Ramsey, join forces with Whitmore’s team in a desperate attempt to rescue the women before it’s too late. Perhaps too late, they discover the corruption exceeds that which they imagined.
Lost Angels explores the dark world of human trafficking, organized crime and political corruption while weaving a story of faith, selfless love and heroic commitment in a suspenseful tale of crime, medicine and military action.
About the author:
I grew up on Grand Island, New York, just a few miles upstream from the majestic Niagara Falls. My love of reading was handed down from my father who named me after the hero of Ayn Rand’s Epic, Atlas Shrugged. Growing up, I enjoyed sailing with my family. Additionally, I raced my own sailboat and crewed for other sailors on Lake Erie and the Niagara River. I graduated from Grand Island Senior High School, where I competed in football, swimming and lacrosse.
I began attending college at Georgia Tech as part of the Navy ROTC program. An untimely ankle fracture disqualified me from military service which led me to pursue a career as an athletic trainer. After graduate school in Buffalo, NY, my wife and I moved to Middle Tennessee where I was employed as an athletic trainer providing care for several high school athletic programs. A few years and three children later, we took a big risk, and I enrolled in medical school at East Tennessee State University. After earning my medical degree, we moved to Columbia, South Carolina where I began residency in Emergency Medicine. We continue to live here today where I practice in a large regional hospital emergency department.
I still sail with my family and I am also an avid fitness enthusiast having competed in triathlons of all lengths including Ironman and Half Ironman. Reading remains a passion and I am happy to say that my wife and younger daughter are avid readers as well. With their encouragement, I began the process of writing and I am now hooked. I signed with KCM Publishing in December of 2020 and we published my first novel, Forces of Redemption, in March of 2021. Since then the next two novels in the O’Shanick/Tabrizi series, Power City and, most recently, Lost Angels, have been published with more to come! I have previously been published as a co-author in a medical journal but fiction is my true passion. I enjoy reading thriller/suspense novels along with historical fiction and biographies. My favorite authors are Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn, Clive Cussler, Ben Coes, Mark Dawson and Brad Thor.
