This suspenseful novel comes to a climatic conclusion after the Fourth of July celebration.A customer(i>The Omega Factor starts with an old cargo ship on its last voyage. It's skipper is tired and worn, it's crew ready to reach port and move onto their next assignments, hopefully ones on newer, faster ships with more amenities and better cargo. Only two days out of port they receive a distress call. With all the recent hijackings the Captain wonders if he should answer the call. But what if he doesn't? Can he ignore the threat of lives lost at sea if he avoids the call, can he risk the lives of his crew if it is a hijacking?I was hooked. I had to see what was going to happen and I wasn't disappointed. When I find a book with a murder mystery, international conspiracy, some bits of a buddy story and a little romance added to sweeten the pot, err plot, I just have to jump in and read it. I am glad I did.Ms. Franken has penned a good interesting plot with compelling characters, well thought out dialogue and a protagonist who feels real. While it could have read like so many of its genre it didn't. Most novels of this sort are written by men and read mainly by men but with a woman at the writers desk this one is a little more cross gender. I enjoyed it and will read more for Ms. Francken in future.
