Amazon Synopsis:
He can prevent a terror
attack, or, he can save his son--but can he do both?
He's
taken his son and he's on the run. The FBI wants him. Homeland Security needs
him. The Santa Fe police chief fears him. His ex-wife's cult wants to kill him.
With Dr. Alex Vincent having the hard drive from his Los Alamos National Lab
computer in his pocket with encrypted data from a known terrorist, it's no
surprise security there haunts him also.
When
twelve-year-old Tucker, Alex's often neglected son, had frantically cried out
for his father's help as he feared for his life, this desperate father and son
had then plunged into the little known world of an underground, safe-haven
system set up to save endangered children whom the law can't protect. Now, they
pass through the lives and receive help and protection from a collection of
people who are involved in this system. Little by little, each in their own
way, these giving people show Alex a new life, one full of sacrifice such as
he's never seen before.
Will
Alex forevermore be branded a traitor? Can he crack this terrorist code and
emerge as the man who saves his country? Can he become a real father, or will
he be relegated to being an "underground" one forever?

My Thoughts:
Fugitive Father
was an intriguing novel. There was so much going on. Alex Vincent had an awful
lot on his plate. While working on a team that was trying to break a computer
code from a terrorist that would lead them to the location of a threatened
bio-terrorist attack, he receives a cry for help from his son, who fears for
his life. Alex felt he needed to get custody of Tucker to keep him safe from
his wife who had become involved in a cult, but couldn’t do it legally as she
appeared to be the perfect mother. Risking everything, he joins the Lollypop
Railroad, an underground system set up to save endangered children that the law
can’t protect.
I found Fugitive
Father to be a fast-paced, modern novel with spiritual elements. Alex
starts out as a devout atheist, but through his adventures he begins to
question his beliefs. Many of the people he comes into contact with believe in
God and rely on Him to help them keep these people safe.
I thought that Tucker behaved a bit young for a twelve year
old. Once I finished reading the book, I was sure that he was only eight, but
when I went back, I realized that he was actually twelve. However, I was
delighted that Tucker and his dad developed a closeness in their relationship
that they didn’t have before.
I also enjoyed the possible budding romance in the novel. If
there is a sequel to Fugitive Father
perhaps we’ll see more of that.
I give high accolades to the author for clean language and
no scenes that have to be screened for sensitive readers. Thank you from the
bottom of my heart!
Fugitive Father
was an excellent read and I would highly recommend it to all those who enjoy
thrillers. I gave this book 5 stars out of 5.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair
and honest review. A positive opinion was not required. All thoughts are my
own.
