ebook Review - Author Leo J Maloney delivers an action-filled short story in this fast moving thriller novella, "Twelve Hours." New York City is under siege as part of a sinister plot targeting a visiting head of state. CIA veteran Dan Morgan steps in to prevent this mess from bringing the world to its knees, however Morgan's teenage daughter is trapped among the hostages. Super fast-paced, high octane action that was worth the read. No time wasted in getting and keeping my attention in the highly recommended short story. Very good novella!

Maloney brings Dan Morgan out for a wonderful short story to keep fans on the edge of their seats. With the President of Iran in New York City to make peace, security is heightened, but no one expects an inside job when Islamic terrorists begin a destructive set of events that has Morgan and his daughter, Alex, in the eye of the storm. While acts take place at various sites, Morgan and the FBI must fight to quell the action and keep the hostages safe. Working to free the hostages is one thing, but with a head of state held captive, there are no second chances, which Morgan knows all too well. Maloney takes the readers through the story in a mere twelve hours to save the city and pave the way towards peace on numerous fronts. A great novella with just enough action and new character introduction.
Maloney teases his fans effectively with this submission, though it could easily have been drawn out into a longer story. While the snippet-length chapters allow readers to forge ahead in an effective manner, the jilted style can be somewhat hard for the reader to gather the needed momentum in one scene. Still, it is a bridge to the next full-length book and likely there have been some characters and scenarios peppered within the pages to make a decent transition.
Kudos, Mr. Maloney for his lovely place-setting novella. Hoping to see more Dan Morgan before the year is out.

There has to do much more coming for Alex

Breakneck entertainment. Iranians take over the Waldorf Astoria and some other New York City locations. Hard to put down!

Who Knew What A Difference 12 hours Could Make
Dan Morgan was a mysterious man. But, even Shasous could tell he would do anything to protect his daughter. This book was oh so fast. It was exciting to read. -
Great read
Sure was intense and fast moving. Alex is a character that is worth writing about. I think it's a winner. -
A nice novelette-short story. Dan Morgan again battling terrorists this time with his daughter. Well written and fun read
