It was supposed to be a low-level bust for ATF agent Alex Duarte, with the hope that he could work it up the ladder to someone important. He just didn't know how important. In New Orleans to check out a mysterious Panamanian named Ortiz who likes to trade guns illegally and import marijuana by the truckload, Duarte suddenly finds himself in the middle of something bigger than he has ever known. Because guns and drugs are bad enough-but there are other things that are much, much worse.
A shadowy colonel who is not what he seems . . . a white supremacist intent on becoming "the man who changed America". . . an attractive FBI agent with a lot of pull and a lot of secrets . . . Alex Duarte knows he's in deep with these characters. He just hopes he's not over his head.

From Publishers Weekly
ATF agent Alex Duarte, who debuted in Born's Field of Fire (2007), remains a man of action but, alas, little else, in his second outing, an otherwise snappy, well-plotted crime drama set in Panama and New Orleans. Duarte and several other federal agents are trying to track down a drug lord known only as Mr. Ortíz, a shadowy Panamanian suspected of shipping tons of marijuana to the U.S. In reality, Ortíz is exporting something far more dangerous: a nuclear bomb. Born, himself a state police officer in Florida, offers the kind of real-life detail one would expect from a law enforcement professional. His previous series, which featured Florida cop Bill Tasker (Walking Money, etc.), stood out from the pack largely because of the layered persona of his protagonist. In contrast, Duarte has the requisite toughness, but aside from being a man of few words—particularly around the ladies—his character has few distinguishing features. Hopefully, Born will make his hero more a leading man than a background player in subsequent adventures. (Feb.)

Below standard
By T. E. Vaughn
Having read all of James Born's published works, I was pleased to see that he had a new offering. The fact that it reprised Alex Duarte made it seem even better. However, it was a disappointment on a number of levels. The plot wandered, the "romance" between Duarte and his forensics friend was labored, and all in all I kept feeling as if I'd read it all before somewhere... and better written. The main complaint though is the extremely annoying editing, particularly as regards firearms. Glocks become SIGs ( often on the same page), SIGs become Berettas, and while it might be acceptable once or twice, it happened throughout the book. Doesn't anyone read for content anymore?! The book could've stood some editing and while some may whine that I'm being too picky about the guns, I'm sure that Born, and indeed anyone with a law enforcement or military background, know that such details are important.
Write again, Mr. Born. But take better care.

Just about perfect
By Amazon Customer
BURN ZONE is the second novel by James O. Born to feature ATF Agent Alex Duarte, one of the most unique, quirky and appealing characters inhabiting contemporary genre fiction. A 30-ish cop's cop who lives in an apartment above his parents' garage (which he shares with his lawyer brother), Duarte is clueless with respect to the women who throw themselves at him and missing a page or two in his Handbook of Social Skills. The only place where he is truly comfortable is on The Job, to which he brings a set of skills both innate and acquired, thus earning the admiration and respect not only of his peers but also (albeit grudgingly) of his adversaries. He is that rare character who is compelling and addicting, the kind of guy men want on their team and women would like by their side.
Duarte is not the only reason that BURN ZONE is required reading for 2008. Born, a special agent with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, knows the territory well, and his wealth of experiences (derived from stints with the DEA and U.S. Marshals Service) serve him, and ultimately the reader, in good stead. There are two incidents out of many here that especially stand out as having the ring of truth. One takes place at the very beginning of the book and involves the hot pursuit of a drug dealer; the other...well, watch for the scene in which Duarte opens the door of a motel room in Texas.
The primary plot in BURN ZONE, however, centers on a drug sting being carried out jointly by Duarte's ATF and the DEA, with a little help from the FBI thrown in for good measure. Duarte and his DEA counterpart, Felix Baez, are trying to catch Ortiz, a shadowy Panamanian crime lord whose fortune is built on the trafficking of illegal drugs and guns. Duarte and Baez guide a shipment of drugs into the country through the Port of New Orleans, hoping to catch Ortiz in the process. What they don't know is that they are being played. What is actually being shipped along with the drugs is a package meant for a group of white supremacists who intend to implement a plan destined to change America forever --- and incidentally provide Ortiz with fulfilling his own revenge against the United States.
As always, Born's plot development is first rate. Things never go smoothly for anyone, whether it be the drug-dealing, closeted Ortiz, the white supremacists, or U.S. law enforcement, which is hampered as much by its own internecine conflicts as it is by the bad guys. Born's narrative is by turns hilarious --- you will never think of the acronym "HBO" in quite the same way again --- and harrowing, with death never more than a heartbeat away. And Duarte? In addition to everything else, he manages to be a part of one of the better conclusions I've read recently. In fact, it's just about perfect. Don't miss BURN ZONE!

This One Didn't Light My Fire
By Gloria Feit
This novel is the second in the series featuring Alex Duarte, ATF agent living and working in Florida. Alex, whose family is from Paraguay, is now nearly thirty years old, and seems to have commitment issues. His nickname is Rocket, because of his focus and drive; he believes "once you hit your stride, you never let up." He is called in by his friend, DEA agent Felix Baez, working out of the agency's headquarters in West Palm Beach, to assist in the attempt to shut down a smuggling operation run by a mysterious Panamanian named Ortiz--guns and drugs seem to be involved, thereby bringing it under Duarte's jurisdiction as well. With the informal help of his girlfriend, a crime scene tech [or `forensic scientist' as he prefers to think of her], Alex joins the hunt for this infamous and slippery criminal.
The ensuing investigation pits them up not only smugglers, but a white supremacist group intent on "changing America." The man called Ortiz is seen to be a sadistic brute, but sadism is the least of his failings. A helluva combination, as it turns out.
This is a thriller which doubtless will be enjoyed by many. This reader was disappointed, however: Having enjoyed Field of Fire, I expected more from its successor novel in the series. The identity of the alter egos of the two `bad buys' was apparent to me early on, which might have been intentional on the part of the author, perhaps to heighten the suspense--if that was the purpose, it didn't work, at least not for me. The book began with a great opening line, addressed to Alex by his ATF partner: "You ever think we should write some of this b***s*** down and put it in a book?" With the author's background, it just may have originated that way, and while I am sure the scenarios laid out are possible, this thriller just didn't hold up for me. I found the characters almost caricatures and the whole not nearly as well written as the prior entry in the series. That said, I would probably read the next chapter in Alex Duarte's life, in the hope that it will come up to the level seen in Field of Fire.
