    This book is one of the most thrilling, satisfying books I have ever read! I have gained a whole new perspective on how Special Forces carry out missions. Their courage, skill, confidence and resourcefulness is amazing. I have found a real hero in Blake Kershaw and I thank God for the men he represents.

    This book is a keeper. As with his last book there are a lot of action scenes with very plausible events! Although the author confuses the reader slightly with unannounced shifts in the time; the book starts out with a scene that doesn't happen until about three chapters later, the reader is able to decipher.

    I read this in pieces as opposed to my usual all at once for a book of this kind. Reviewer Mark mentioned that it's a tale 'more for men'. Maybe so, but since I like spy stories (the really good ones like the old McInnes ones) I prefer Kiloton to some of the other stuff published these days.

    This book made me wonder just how much skullduggery goes on that the average reader and citizen never ever hears about. If you like suspense but not so much of the military stuff, you'll still like this one, I think.

    One problem: Making Kershaw out to be the only savior from WWIII [as in the description of content] is a bit much.

    I wonder if there is room for a third book - the lovely lady who wasn't yet married?

    This book is a well-written, action-packed novel of the real life Iranian nuclear threat. The reader is held in suspense as a plausible military plot unfolds between Iran, Israel, the United States and Russia.

    The uniqueness of this book lies in the authors. LTG William Boykin spent years as an original member of the United States Army's Delta Force, the world's premier Special Operations Unit. It is evident this book is written by someone in the know. The details of special ops form the backdrop of this story. Co-author, Tom Morrissey, is a renowned adventure/travel writer who finds just the right words to make this novel seem like reality. The authors' vivid descriptions pull the reader into the moment.

    The reader catches a glimpse into a house church in Iran, the life of a high-ranking leader in the Iranian nuclear program, the details involved in planning a covert operation, the intense moment when one meets the enemy eye to eye, and the incredible price paid by an individual for his country and his morals.

    As I read, I pictured the scenes played out on a movie screen. The story has all the ingredients of a suspense-filled movie. It's not just a good read or would make a good movie, but it is realistic in that parts of the story are already playing out in current news events, months after the book was written.

    I received Danger Close for my birthday, the book that precedes this one, and read both books on vacation. They are both awesome reads. I loved Danger Close, and wondered if the sequel could measure up - and it did. Both books are exciting and suspenseful, but The Kiloton Threat is even more so than Danger Close.

    I love the character that the authors have created in Blake Kershaw. A soldider determined to serve his country and his God no mattter what personal sacrifices he has to make.

    This book has it all: suspense, excitement, special ops, international intrigue, and even a dash of romance. The main character is a Christian, and it shows his struggles to be true to his beliefs while pretending to be someone else.

    I really enjoyed both of these books, and the authors have only gotten better with their second book. Hopefully a third is in the works.

    These books are more for men, though any woman who enjoys reading military/special ops sort of books would also enjoy them.
