About this audiobook
Phil Broker’s latest adventure hits close to home, when he finds his estranged wife and daughter caught in a web of deception that may conceal a terrorist plot to bomb Minneapolis’s nuclear power plant
When Phil Broker’s estranged wife, Nina, and his daughter, Kit, disappeared months ago, he wasn’t surprised. Nina has a mysterious and dangerous job working for the government, and her work has taken her in harm’s way before. Broker sets out on a mission to find Nina and force her to choose between life as a soldier or a mother, and take Kit out of danger once and for all.
At the end of Vapor Trail, Broker learns that Kit has been abandoned by Nina at a motel in Langdon, North Dakota. But when he arrives, the situation is far more complicated than he imagined. Kit is, bizarrely, accompanied by a “babysitter” named Jane, who claims to be Nina’s estranged girlfriend. Buddy Yelton, a local legend and hopeless womanizer, has apparently taken up with Nina. But Buddy Yelton is no harmless local—he has hidden connections to the Aryan Nation, and possibly Middle Eastern terrorists as well. And two motel guests are equally mysterious—Broker can’t help thinking he remembers them as former GIs he knew back in Laos in ’72. Obviously, all is not as it appears—and more than Kit’s life is in danger—the fate of the entire Minneapolis-St. Paul Metro area is in Broker’s hands.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This 1988 Newbery honor book tackles the difficult subject of family relationships, anticipatory grief and care taking of an elder relative.Highly intelligent fifteen year old Rachel is the child of older parents. Feeling smothered by unnecessary attention, she is out of touch with them. In addition, her intelligence marks her as unapproachable and thus she doesn't quite understand how to fit in with peers.Rachel's grandfather Izzy is diagnosed with cancer. Known as a cantankerous, crabby, judgmental and inappropriately, brutally honest man, he pushes those who love him away. As Rachel reaches out to her grandfather and tests the boundaries by insisting on helping him, gradually a very special relationship develops.Aware of the limitations of time, through love and compassion, Rachel discovers confidence and strength she never knew she had. In helping her grandfather, she learns the power of family and friends.Beautifully told, the author never dove in the waters of sentimentality. There is a very real, honest depiction of the difficulty of relationships. The author does not stoop to placing a big red bow on a neat package, nor does she shine an unnecessary harsh light on dysfunction, rather, she writes and honest, realistic portrayal of life and death.
