THE BLUE ZONE is a rather pedestrian thriller, but if you like the work of James Patterson or Harlen Coben you won't be too disappointed, yet you most likely will not be thrilled.
The title refers to a classification within the Witness Protection Program (WITSEC). "Blue Zone" means that a subject's new identity has been blown, and is no longer under the protection of the program. THE BLUE ZONE relates the tale of a happy American family that is essentially destroyed because of the father's dark and dangerous past. Ben Raab is a very successful businessman, but decades earlier he had a strong and compelling connection to an evil South American drug cartel. Presently, he is under indictment by US authorities for his involvement, and violent elements within the cartel force Mr. Raab and his family to enter a government protection program. His eldest daughter, Kate, becomes the heroine of the novel and must uncover her father's real motivations, and seeks to determine his true identity.
This is an ideal novel if you just want to pass the time, and is about on the level of a better-than-average Made for TV Movie.
