Gideon Davis and his recently pardoned brother discover a plot to take down the top tier of the US government. Unfortunately, the authorities aren't listening. Fortunately, Gideon and Tillman possess the kind of skills one would need to take down a terrorist plot all on their own.

The does have some original aspects and the story is fast-paced and interesting. Gordon is co-creator of the show HOMELAND and executive producer on the upcoming show AWAKE and 24, points that drew me to the book. HARD TARGET essentially reads like an episode of a 24-like drama/thriller.

Seeds of discontent are sown, not sewn. Unless the terrorists are using a needle and thread.

Otherwise, ok. Reads like a TV movie, wraps up neatly by the 58 minute mark.
