WARNING: Blown Circuit, the eagerly anticipated sequel to the #1 spy thriller, Lethal Circuit, is here. If you don’t like turbo-charged action adventure, then you’d better find some place to hide.
Michael Chase is back.
But now he has enemies. Deadly enemies.
Good thing Michael is no mood to play nice.
Michael Chase survived China. Barely. But now he’s got bigger problems.
A pair of coordinates broadcast on an obscure frequency have brought Michael to Istanbul, Turkey where credible chatter has emerged that a terrorist group plans to use a devastating device to hold the world hostage.
Designed by Nikola Tesla, arguably the greatest inventor of the Twentieth Century, the device is experimental, it is capable, and it has been missing for almost sixty years.
If Michael is to prevent a catastrophe, he’ll need to get to the device before the Conspiracy or risk upsetting the global balance of power forever. Of course, finding the Tesla Device is one thing, knowing whom he can trust with it is another matter entirely.
To survive, he’ll have to do both. If he doesn’t, what started as a bad day is about to become a disaster.
Can Michael fight his way through the lies and deception to save the world?
If you can’t get enough of the action of Lee Child and Vince Flynn, the intrigue of Robert Ludlum, and the adventure of Clive Cussler and James Rollins, you are going to LOVE Blown Circuit!
 
My Review:
This is part of a series and there was no ending. That cost the book 1 star.
There was almost too much action, and it did not seem real to me. The number of deaths also added to my dislike pile.
However the book was well written, and I enjoyed it. The "device" was missing for 60 years, what is the importance of finding it now? With all the action in the book, I thought that there would be a better ending.
Michael was a great character to like, he has so many enemies that I found myself rooting for him to beat them. He had a hard time deciding who to trust, for good reason, and for the sake of the world he better make up his mind in time. The author did a great job creating these characters, and maybe if I read the first book then maybe I would have gotten more out of this book. 
I am giving this book a 3/5. I was given a copy to review by orangeberry book tours, however all opinions are my own!
