"""Taylor Moore gives his readers an insider's glimpse into a world of covert operations that few novelists can match. Ricochet has it all: great writing, perfect plotting, quick pacing, and a cast of high-octane characters that brings it all together. An extraordinary accomplishment from a relatively new author with a fresh voice and a new way of looking at the age-old struggle between good and evil."" -- Nelson Demille, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of The Maze and The Cuban Affair ""Wild and gritty as a West Texas road, Ricochet snaps with action and unbridled authenticity.
