Ocean of Wrath, by Alan McDermott, is the sixth installment in the authors Eva Driscoll series. Key Characters: Eva Driscoll, Sonny Baines, Tom Gray, and his daughter Melissa. This story begins 6 months after Eva and her crew, along with Farooq Nasar, took down the dreaded ESO who tried to control their lives like everyone else in the world. So, for 6 months, Eva aka Nolene Daniels, and Sonny aka Stuart Barnes, have been trying to pick up on some much necessary down time.

After being caught up in a deadly shooting which ended up with Sonny getting shot and badly hurt, Eva sees that the FBI are floundering in their efforts to find the killers. Eva decides to take the matters into her own hands, including using Special Agent Sandy Baker to find out who was responsible. What looked like a lone gunman turns out to be just one of many fatal attacks, and the mastermind behind them all has something much, much bigger planned.

As Eva does what she does best, lay waste to villains, she learns about a group known as Puritan Brotherhood who plans on killing thousands on innocent people while trying to prevent the country from turning on its head like what is happening right now in our streets with thugs and criminals taking over major cities like Memphis and NYC. With an inquisitive FBI agent checking out her new identity, Eva must become even more resourceful if she is going to keep from going to prison for a very long time.

She soon discovers that the Brotherhood has made plans to take over a cruise liner and sink the ship in the middle of the Atlantic. The lives of eight thousand people are at stake, including Tom Gray and his daughter, so Eva risks everything to save them. Meanwhile, Tom has been trying hard for the past 6 months to bring normality back into their lives for the sake of Melissa. 

So, he decides to use the next year to educate Melissa on the world, and its history. The first stop is taking a cruise liner from Miami, to Southampton, with a later stop in Korea. Unfortunately, Tom is once again forced to fight to protect his daughter, while Eva once again puts her life, and her future on the line for her friends. It is fair to say that one must suspend reality for a minute or two while reading these books. 

While the action is fun, and Eva is fantastic as a lead character, there are times when you have to say, nah, that can't happen unless the person belongs to the Special Forces or something similar. Eva is ex-CIA, and she has done some brilliant things to beat the villains. It is apparent that this author is not finished with this series, which is always a good thing. I would love to see Tom and his daughter get a happy ending without always looking over their shoulders to see if someone is coming after them.
