Must read 🏆 This thrilling and intricate follow-up to the series debut will keep readers glued to their seats and begging for more! Unstoppable is the second book in author Michael Maloof's exceptional Kate Preacher Thriller series, building on the intrigue and, perhaps, even surpassing the intensity of the series debut. Kate Preacher, although still reeling from her husband's murder during an armed attack on a Parisian café, is determined to get to the truth, expose those responsible, and extract her own vengeance. Kate's husband warned his killer that she would be unstoppable, but so are the thrills readers will experience from this story. Only days have elapsed since Jake Church was gunned down by a long-range sniper's bullet, but that is enough time for his widow, former CIA analyst Kate Preacher, to gather her resources and head back to Paris to prove her theory that the brutal café attack which took Jake's life and made him a national hero was no terroristic act but a calculated assassination when he got too close to the perpetrators involved in a high-level and powerful international crime coalition. Even after having read the previous novel, I was still thrilled by her tactical skills, knowledge, and the digital forensics used in the story. Key characters from book one return to lend their considerable expertise while surprising new allies and hidden antagonists enter the picture. The loyalty and determination of Jake's former team members are on full display and, at times, evoke gut-wrenching admiration. The plot is fast-paced as the story hits the ground running, and the action and intrigue are unrelenting and non-stop. Dangerous secrets, hints of unknown agendas, and shocking plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat as Kate got ever closer to her goal, and those working against her tried to stop her or, at a minimum, manage her discoveries and limit the consequences. When loyalty, friendship, and her concern for another character's safety take Kate from Paris to an emerging African country, the stakes rise when evil intentions become clear and broaden to affect even more innocents, and storylines cleverly converge. While this is the second Kate Preacher novel, the author subtly weaves in enough backstory for readers new to the series to read this book as a standalone. I recommend UNSTOPPABLE and the Kate Preacher Thriller series to thriller fans.

Kate Preacher is “Unstoppable.” That’s not hyperbole; it’s fact. Her husband proclaimed her so one fateful day, and it remains true of her very core nature. She is brilliant, with a pedigree few people in the world could come close to. She’s also the foe that no one wants, and she’s on a mission that she will not deviate from until it’s completed. ‘Vengeance may be the lord’s, but beware the woman with nothing left to lose.’ —Katherine Preacher Michael Maloof’s debut novel “Relentless” introduced the indomitable Kate Preacher as a strong, fierce, valiant woman very much in love with her husband, Jake. Theirs has been a storybook romance. Kate is former CIA, a world-class chess player, and the only woman who could turn the head of former Navy SEAL Jake Church. “Relentless” gave thriller fans a breathtaking story that engaged readers with page one and never let go. With book two, “Unstoppable,” Michael Maloof proves he’s not a one-hit wonder as he provides his burgeoning legion of fans with another nail-biting roller coaster ride full of grit, action, honor, teamwork, and strong-as-steel characters. “Unstoppable” takes readers to Paris on the hunt for a traitorous killer, then on to a small country in Africa where the stakes are high, and the natural resources seem to carry more value than the lives of its people. Themes of loyalty, selflessness, and the reverence of life run throughout this monumental story line. The remarkable characters who display courage and strength are balanced by a host of despicable, soul-sucking bad guys who see the world as theirs to plunder. Life is cheap to them and power is essential. They’re not always easy to spot as the plot unfolds. The storyline is magnetic as a group of genuine heroes realize it’s up to them to do the impossible. The odds aren’t good (okay- they’re terrible), but there’s no one else to stand in this gap. But these men and women are the one-percenters who have the training and the experience to do what no one else can or will do, and will put their lives on the line to get it done. The Kate Preacher Thriller Series has everything fans of this genre expect: genuinely compelling characters, a solid fast-paced storyline, unexpected twists, bad politicians, and some seriously high stakes. There may even be a touch of the paranormal, as a Maasai named Nuru and a prowling lion leave their marks. ‘A lion cannot be anything but a lion.’ –Nuru Michael Maloof’s “Unstoppable” is decidedly so, as fans will not be able to put this one down. Those who have read the first book will find answers to questions they didn’t know they had in this novel. Whether you’ve read the first book or not, “Unstoppable” can easily stand on its own as witness to Mr. Maloof’s literary prowess. However, readers will find the most enjoyment if they begin with book one, “Relentless,” to fully understand the depth of these characters and their history. However you choose to approach it, do not miss Michael Maloof’s “Unstoppable.” It’s high-octane reading at its best.
