    About this audiobook

    No one knows what CIA desk jockey Zac Miller is capable of—including himself—when a routine surveillance job becomes a do-or-die mission in the Middle East.

    When a commercial flight violates restricted airspace to make an emergency landing at a closed airport in Iran, the passengers are just happy to be alive and ready to transfer to a functional plane. All of them except one . . .

    The American technology consultant in business class is not who he says he is. Zac Miller is a CIA analyst. And after an agent's cover gets blown, Zac—though never trained to be a field operative—volunteers to take his place, to keep a surveillance mission from being scrubbed.

    Zac thinks it will be easy to photograph the earthquake-ravaged airport that is located near a hidden top secret nuclear facility. But when everything that can go wrong does, he finds himself on the run from the Islamic Revolutionary Guards and abandoned by his own teammates, who think he has gone rogue. Embarking on a harrowing journey through the mountains of Iran to the Persian Gulf and across Europe, Zac can only rely on himself. But even if he makes it out alive, the life he once had may be lost to him forever . . .

      Zac Miller, a CIA analyst, is a passenger on a plane headed to Singapore. His plane begins to experience engine trouble and makes an emergency landing at an Iranian military base recently damaged by an earthquake. While the plane is on the ground, Zac takes photos of buildings believed to be hiding a secret nuclear facility. Zac finds himself separated from other passengers and is interrogated by local officials. He is tortured by the guards but manages to keep quiet about the true nature of his mission. After regaining consciousness, he finds himself in a prison and realizes that escape is his only way out. Zac knows that the odds of staying alive are slim but he has been well trained for these conditions. Lacking money, a passport, and a support network he embarks on an incredible journeyWarning Light by David Ricciardi is a debut novel. It is a fast-paced action-packed story with exciting twists. I hope this book becomes the first installation of a longer series.

      This is a great thriller full of twists and turns. The reader is taken through a number of action sequences, backroom dealings, political subterfuge, and an all too realistic ending.Free review copy.

      I did like this book but I did struggle a bit to find that strong connection to the characters. This in turn caused me to lose some focus on the story. Yet, it made up I other aspects like intensity and speed. These two factors made this book a fast read. The main character, Zac did well holding the story together. In regards to believability; the storyline was believable. Mr. Ricciardi does write a good book. Although, this book did not resonate with me as strongly as I would have liked, I would try another book from this author.

      If the rest of the thriller debuts this year are going to be this good, it’s going to be a great year. Warning Light introduces us to CIA analyst Zac Miller. Miller has to step out from behind his desk and go in the field when an op he set up is about to be cancelled. No one else knows enough about it or believes in it enough. All he has to do is take a couple of pictures. Easy, right? Except the pictures are in Iran and the Iranians aren’t buying that the plane Zac was on “just happened” to have flight problems near a highly restricted area and that Zac was just snapping photos of the sunset. Colonel Arzaman of the Revolutionary Guard separates Zac from the rest of the passengers and he’s escorted into a windowless room. Soon the rest of the passengers are back on another plane and Zac is escorted deeper into Iran where Arzaman is determined to find the truth about what Zac is up to. As the beatings and torture begins, Zac realizes that the only way he’s going to survive is by relying on himself. He manages to escape, but that only leaves him alone in the middle of Iran. What follows is a chase across Iran all the way back to England. The chase takes place across desert, mountain, ocean and a slew of friendly and hostile countries in the Middle East and Europe. Arzaman keeps up a relentless pursuit throughout.Breathless is the best way to describe this novel. The action starts on the opening pages and doesn’t stop until the last one. Intrigue both within the Iranian political establishment as well as the CIA help keep the tension high. I cracked this book open on a Saturday and didn’t stop until I was finished on Sunday. Zac Miller is far from superhuman, but he is clever and resourceful. Others have compared him to Jason Bourne and Jack Ryan and I can’t disagree. David Ricciardi has the goods and they are on full display in Warning Light. Look for a sequel. It’s time to see more of Zac Miller in the field. I received a copy of this book from the publisher.

      WARNING LIGHT by David Ricciardi is a slam dash acton novel from the first paragraph. This book is the initial installment in what hopes to be the newest action adventure series of man against the world. When an earthquake strikes Iran is opens up the possibility of uncovering hidden nuclear facilities. A plan by the British and Americans to insert an agent almost gets derailed when the perfect person is not available. Instead a CIA intel analyst is sent in his place. This operative, Zac Miller, is no secret agent. He is supposed to get in, snap a few long distance photos with a special camera, and get out.A stricken British Airways jet requests an emergency landing in the heart of Iran’s forbidden zone. The plane is reluctantly granted permission and soon Zac is on the ground and has his photos. But when he is culled from the other passengers, all Hell is unleashed upon him. Taken prisoner, drugged, tortured, threatened, beaten and abused, the desk jockey has to find some way to avoid being killed and possibly escaping.Mr. Ricciardi pushes the story at a break neck pace. You can tell there was some judicious editing along the way, entire scenes that are referenced are missing, but those small chapters would have done nothing to enhance the tale and very well might have slowed down the story. As it is we have a bright new light in the world of danger and this could well be the first of many bold stories.
