Former Marine Ryder Creed and his canine companion Bolo share a unique bond that is stronger than many human relationships. In fact, with Silent Creed, author Alex Kava proves once again that dog may not only be man’s best friend, but also his savior.

In one test after another, the human-canine duo faces numerous outside forces with unmatched bravado. Combine the author’s signature pressure-building moments, a mysterious and shady government facility operating somewhere in North Carolina, and the disappearance of several scientists and you have the ingredients for classic Kava.

In one scene, Kava made my heart palpitate, palms sweat, and sent my mind racing to a very dark place when Ryder is buried alive during a landslide with only Bolo to help him. Her deft descriptions and tight plotting kept me riveted, cheering for the story’s protagonists until the very end.

Readers won’t want to miss Silent Creed, this second thrilling installment in Alex Kava’s electrifying, intriguing Ryder Creed series. The third book, Reckless Creed, can’t arrive on book shelves fast enough!
