    Jerry B. Jenkins in his new book "The Breakthrough" Book Three in the Precinct 11 series published by Tyndale House Publishers takes us back into the life of Boone Drake and the Chicago Police Department.

    From the back cover: After years of turmoil, Boone Drake seems to be back on track. He is the youngest bureau chief in Chicago Police Department history, he heads the city's Major Case Squad, he has a new family, and his relationship with God has never been better. Still, Boone can't fight the feeling that something is about to go terribly wrong . . . again.

    When disaster strikes, it seems Boone is destined to repeat the past, as tragedy threatens those closest to him. And when his own family's safety is at stake, Boone is forced to make a difficult choice: stay with his wife, Haeley, who desperately needs him, or pursue a human trafficking ring from the narrow streets, alleys, and hovels of the famed hutong district in Beijing, China, to the ancient city of Tianjin. The stakes have never been higher for Boone as the all-too-personal case grows increasingly dangerous . . . and time is running out.

    The action doesn't stop as Boone Drake travels from Chicago to China dealing with a human trafficking ring. "The Breakthrough" is a page-flipping thriller where not only is his life in danger but the lives of his new family as well. Mr. Jenkins great skill is not only in creating suspenseful plots but in his marvelous characterizations. From Boone all the way down to minor characters they all come to life and we sit on the edge of our seats and we root for them to succeed in the face of what seems like overwhelming odds. "The Breakthrough" is a great read with Mr. Jenkins making us flip the pages as fast as we can because we want to know what happens with Boone and see if he survive and put the bad guys out of business. I do not recommend starting this book late at night because it will cost you sleep as you will not want to put it down. Mr. Jenkins is an excellent writer and knows how to twist your nerve endings as he tightens the suspense. I am looking forward to, hopefully, more books in this series.

    WOW!!! I have read book 1 and 2 of the Precinct 11 series but this one is by far my favorite!!! This book keeps you on the edge of your seat and you will be sneaking in reading time anytime you can just so you can read this book! I loved it so much, I love all of Precinct 11 books by Jerry Jenkins but this one was truly nail biting. The theme of the book is sad and heartbreaking: Human Trafficking but unfortunately one that is true and is happening in this day in age.

    Boone is a man on a mission and nothing will stop him from completing what he has set out to do. Will he succeed? Will he complete what he needs to do?

    thank you Jerry Jenkins for creating a wonderful trilogy and thank you tyndale for allowing me to read and review Breakthrough.

    The Breakthrough by Jerry Jenkins is a worthy addition to the series that includes The Brotherhood and The Betrayal and features Chicago Police Department officer Boone Drake. Here is a Boone who has now matured spiritually, evidenced in his deft dealing with unbelievable personal and professional challenges. I felt a particular kinship to Boone's investigations into human trafficking through my own ministry involvement with trafficking survivors. There are definitely some intense scenes that leave you with a choice of continuing reading to see what happens or taking a breath! As in his Soon trilogy, Jenkins challenges with anagrams, and as is typical, he shows his understanding and respect for regional and international culture and traditions, only adding to the reader's enjoyment.

    Note: I was provided with an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

    Jerry Jenkins is a great writer and develops stories which are suspenseful and entertaining. He hooks you into the story from page one.

    The development of characters were believable. He writes so well, I was able to see and feel everything.

    Personally, I had difficulty with the main theme of the story, the harsh reality of human trafficking. I had to put the book down a few times because it was causing me anxiety.

    The Breakthrough also touches on faith in a real way.

    The main character Boone Drake is a Christian. Everything seems to be going well in his life. Until he gets a text out of the blue from his pastor which says, "Yet man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward." Job 5:7

    Suddenly, everything starts to turn upside down in his life in a major way; from his wife Haeley to her abducted son. Boone is faced with some very difficult situations and decisions to make.

    Thankfully, this book has a happy ending.

    If you love suspense, I highly recommend this book. The Breakthrough does not disappoint.

    In conclusion, I want to thank Tyndale Publishers for an advanced complimentary copy of this book.

    This review was written for The Breakthrough: Precinct 11 Series, #3.
    Jerry Jenkin's third "Precinct 11" story, The Breakthrough begins with Boone Drake reflecting on the "success" of his life. Despite a Job-like experience in the past, where he lost his wife, son, home and all he held dear, he's now at the "top of the pile." Four years later, he's married to Haeley and adoptive father to her adorable young son Max, he's the youngest bureau chief (of the newly formed Major Case Squad) of the Chicago PD, and thanks to a huge legal settlement granted to his wife, he's living in a nice neighborhood and driving a nice car. He adds to those blessings, a close walk with God, a healthier spiritual life than he's ever experienced. And Boone wonders when/if testing will come. The testing does come and it looks as if history may be repeating itself, as Haley suffers a serious accident and his son is kidnapped.

    The Breakthrough is a fast-paced suspense story that is hard to put down and certainly not predictable. The characters are well defined — a close-knit cop brotherhood, one extremely dumb crook, a personable con man who rarely makes mistakes, and a smart mastermind whom no one would suspect. Add in a sprinkling of average citizens who were drawn into the intrigue, some surprises along the way, and you have a recipe for a great read. Although apparently part of a series, The Breakthrough is excellent as a stand-along novel.

    This was fortunately not one of those suspense stories that makes you afraid to turn out the light at night. I enjoyed the way the story builds, at first allowing you to draw conclusions as to what will happen, only to realize that your assumptions will be challenged. The totally stupid actions of one crook provide some light relief along the way of what could have been a very heavy story about a difficult topic. And while the wrap at the end was neatly done, a few untied strings possibly allow an opening for a future book? I anticipate reading more in the Precinct 11 series!

    I received a free copy of this book from Tyndale House Publishers in exchange for my fair and honest review.
