When one of their own is threatened—the nation’s #1 air-crash investigation team enters a race to survive.

An airliner downed on a Pacific atoll. A CIA covert strike team sent in to “clean it up.” An old enemy seeks revenge. This time, the NTSB’s autistic air-crash investigator, Miranda Chase, and her team are in the crosshairs. The action races around the globe as US military airbases become shooting galleries and their lives are placed on the line.

And hidden from sight? A treacherous plan to grab political power and start a new war with Russia in the Middle East. Only Miranda’s team stands in their way, if they can survive.

5.0 out of 5 stars REVENGE AGENDA
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2021

So many lives sacrificed attempting to destroy not one but two nemesis. Intrigue, lots of action, and a very real international, political backdrop as well as the intricacies of several crash sites, all of which drive the story forward. The pace is fast and unrelenting, starting at the very beginning and exploding toward the unexpected ending, that felt a bit like a cliffhanger but wasn’t.
Absolutely could not put it down, a must read book in a must read series. So I highly recommend!

Miranda and her NTSB team are called out to investigate a Congressional flight that crashed in the Middle East, close to Syria. Holly goes home to Australia when she gets the news that her parents have died. Enroute, she survives a civilian plane crash onto Johnston Atoll in the Pacific. And if that wasn’t enough, the Russian ZASLON assassin that almost killed the NTSB team in ’Condor’ escapes from a Black Site gunning for Holly and Miranda’s team.

4.0 out of 5 stars All right - Matt's back!
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2021
First of all, I have to say I got an ARC of this book in return for an honest review. That said:

This book is a return to the style of Matt's SOAR series of books. He finally seems comfortable with his new cast of characters and their world. Though it might just be that he's back in more familiar territory with this latest excursion.
This book concentrates on Holly, perhaps the character closest to the "warrior culture" of Matt's other series. There is great fun with Aussie slang and lyrical description of the landscape of some pretty empty spaces, especially the Outback. And some scarily good hand-to-hand combat starring Holly Harper!
I have to confess a small handicap. When I got the ARC (very late!), I realized that I had the previous book ("Chinook") still waiting to be read and I did not have time to do so if I wanted this review to be timely,
You do not absolutely have to read "Chinook" first, though It would probably help. The story line grabs you (by the necktie?) and does not really let go. There are a few quieter passages, but you know the action is still going on elsewhere.
Things kick off with Holly watching the AirBus 300 she is riding in lose an engine (literally) over the Pacific. Even after the pilots manage to bring the plane down on an abandoned atoll, the action keeps going. There's a power grab inside the CIA, a prisoner escape attempt at a secret facility, and several more spoiler-y fun events.
Holly gives us a real star turn in this book. "You're gonna like it. I guarantee it."

Another excellent outing on the Miranda Chase series. This time the spotlight is on Holly Harper, the team's Australian ASB representative and a person of many skills. An extraordinary woman, we learned how it all started. Our favorite Russian operative also returns for a brief engagement. The drama continues to reach a new crescendo till the dramatic end. Looking forward to the next one in the series, White Top.

Holly has to return to Australia for an unknown reason at the start of the book. That's when her plane loses an engine over the Pacific and they manage to land on an atoll. That starts the rollercoaster ride.

So much evolves during this book: Miranda, and the team, and the greater arc of the series. Wonderful thrill ride. A great story and wonderful thriller.

Top of his game! If the fate of the world hung on the threads of a spider's web, I'd vote Buchman to figure it out and be his right-hand gopher with complete trust, and I'd the end came, die knowing the only express gave all.

4.0 out of 5 stars comprehensive and intricate story
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2021
HAVOC is the seventh instalment in ML Buchman’s contemporary, adult MIRANDA CHASE NTSB military, techno-thriller series focusing on NTSB investigator Miranda Chase and her team of former and current military members.

Told form several third person perspectives HAVOC follows retired Australian Special Air Services Regiment Sergeant Holly Harper as she, and the NTSB begin an investigation into a series of plane crashes, one in which, Holly was a passenger. Heading to the Johnston Atoll, Holly calls in Miranda Chase, letting her know, that she may not survive but to begin an investigation into possible sabotage. Not only had Holly survived but our heroine quickly discovers a Russian assassin has escaped a military prison, and has set their sights on our story line heroine.

HAVOC is another comprehensive and intricate story awash in military, NTSB, and air flight jargon, some of which may require a Google search or two. ML Buchman pulls the reader into a suspenseful story of power and betrayal, vengeance and murder, in a political game of espionage, and domination between the US and Russia, instigated by the crazed mind of psychopath bent on revenge. HAVOC is a vivid, imaginative and gripping tale where the world powers, are yet again, on the brink of war.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooked on this series!
Reviewed in Canada on April 28, 2021

A devious grab for political power, a vicious, trained killer bent on revenge, and a plan to start a war shape this plot. Sabotaged planes, a strike team of mercenaries, covert emails and apparently official orders all intended to frame a political opponent drive the action from the get-go. Defenseless autistic Miranda Chase and her air-crash investigation team are caught in the middle of it--both targets and catalysts. The person behind the plot doesn't care about the destroyed planes or how many people die; he just cares about destroying another's career and wresting away her political power.

We finally learn about Holly's past, how it drives her, and how it shapes her present.

Warning 1: Contains violence (depraved) and coarse language--in particular by the trained killer seeking revenge.
Warning 2: The book ends with a cliff hanger.
Warning 3: Don't start reading this book unless you have time to finish it the same day, or you'll be awake most of the night.

I was given an advance reader copy of this book and also purchased a copy. I am happy to provide this review.

I have all the previous books and they are well worth a read. This one got a little too political for me but I guess there are only so many accidents the Team can be sent to.

I would like to see them operating in England for a change - lots of US military hardware flying around in our sky. How about having an F-35B crash on the deck of HMS Queen Elizabeth?

This series is beyond good, it's excellent. Be kind to yourself and if you haven't read the previous books then I recommend you do, you'll love every minute.
As an Australian I couldn't wait for Holly's background story and it lived up to all my expectations. I loved it.

i received a review copy. This book continues Miranda Chase's story but is centred on Holly one of her team. More of her story and how she came to be with Miranda made for an exciting unputdownable book. i cant wait for the next book.
