title: The Enigma Wraith (The Enigma Series) (Volume 4)
author: Breakfield
description: The fourth entry in Breakfield and Burkeys (The Enigma Ignite, 2014, etc.) techno-thriller series pits the R-Group against a seemingly untraceable computer virus and what could be a full-scale digital assault. <br /><br />A series of cyberattacks targets an Irish bank, a Texas winery and a hydroelectric dam in Brazil, among other places. They also attract the R-Group, an organization specializing in information gathering and analysis. The rogue code leaves messages behind, calling itself the Ghost Code, before apparently wiping clear any evidence of its existence. Jacob, his love, Petra, and the rest of the team believe these attacks are indicative of training exercises that precede a much larger strike. The R-Groups involvement becomes personal when Juans plane is hacked; theres a possibility that hes dead after communication is lost. Juans brother Carlos and Juans newly pregnant lover, Julie, go undercover to stop Zara, a beautiful cyberassassin, who may play a part in the Ghost Code and who, interestingly enough, could pass for a Petra doppelgnger. The authors latest noveltheir fastest-paced yetdives headfirst into the plot and maintains an engaging mystery based on the R-Groups investigation. The person responsible for the Ghost Code, they discover, is Mephisto, corresponding with hacker Callisto, though the true identities behind the handles arent initially clear. Theres a veritable hodgepodge of characters, most of whom are returning, but the authors include context for new readers without weighing the story down with a laborious retread. As in prior novels, characters are colorful and indelible. Zara is particularly engrossing. She was a dominatrix at a young age, which instilled in her an obsessive desire for control. Theres even a sex scene with Zara in which she humiliates her bodyguard, Dante; while its evident whats happening, the scene manages to be as subdued as the rest of the novel, with few vulgar words. The main plot ends with over 50 pages remaining, so while the coda might have been better were it truncated, it once again leaves room for another sequel. <br /><br />Another stellar installment. Breakfield and Burkey show no signs of slowing down in an ever improving series.
