Freedom Does Matter. Rebecca Jamse Thriller, #2

Upcoming college sophomore Rebecca Sverdupe receives horrifying news: her fiancé and mentor Ian Jamse has been shot. Over the past two years, Beckie's been learning the ropes, becoming a member of Ian's successful mercenary team. When she began she swore to make the team more than soldiers for hire; they'd be more 'socially conscious mercenaries, with concomitant longer life expectancies. Land disputes are serious but they shouldn't be fatal.
But Ian was dying! Instead of returning to campus, Beckie kisses Ian's insensate lips and heads to Cairo to complete the supposedly peaceful negotiations. The first meetings proceed smoothly, but lead to a new target for the assassin: her! Her quest to gain justice?-or revenge?-for Ian reveals a conspiracy to trigger the final Mideast war. As she unravels the plot, she comes head-to-head with one man's bitter, intransigent attempts to define freedom his way.
Can Beckie thwart the terrorist and eliminate one hateful voice of irrationality? The second of Rebecca Jamse's Thrillers, Freedom Does Matter is a YA/NA political thriller recommended for fifteen and up.
