Fifth Doctrine/Karen Robbards/334 pages

                                                                                                                                       
                                                The Fifth Doctrine starts when a female hacker with NORAD steals
                                            sensitive material she plans to sell to the North Koreans.  The true story
The Fifth Doctrine (The Guardian)
                                            starts when Bianca St Ives (who is hiding from the CIA) is contacted by
                                            Colin Rogan (Five Eyes operative and Bianca's nemesis from previous
                                            novels) with a proposition.  If she goes undercover posing as the hacker
                                            and successfully sells the stolen information to the North Koreans with
                                            a worm encryption, a CIA kill team will be halted that plans to eliminate
                                            Bianca once and for all.  Much though she does not want to be part of this
                                            operation, Bianca is totally suited and equipped to take on the mission
                                            with an excellent chance of success.  The story progresses quickly with
                                            several explosions, attacks, captures and near misses.  Colin and Bianca are attracted to each other but being the strong personality types that they are--and both have trust issues--romance is a minor thread through the book. 
     The climax comes when Bianca wakes up in a North Korean prison camp and attempts to escape with four other detainees.  The entire plan is simply a masterpiece!  The action and plot twists make this one hard to put down.  Great read!
