One of the best so far!

I love the character development in this series. Humor, drama, intrigue and just enough tactical info keep me wanting more.

Excellent sequel

As usual, this was an excellent adventure mystery. It is a standalone novel, but it does help if you read the ones prior and in order. Looking forward to the next book.

Great Story - each minute exciting

Great suspense from minute one till the end. Each book is good as a standalone but better as a series. The writing and story has improved continuously. The narration is perfect and fits each character. Must listen!

...one of Gilstrap's best Jonathan Grave stories.

Audiobook Review - Final Target - John Gilstrap/Basil Sands
As an author of action/suspense thrillers, John Gilstrap is consistently good at writing consistently good stories, especially with his Jonathan Grave series. Book 9, “Final Target” in the series is an outstanding listen. It is set mostly in Mexico where a murderous drug kingpin kills people for his own entertainment. In this story, Jonathan Grave and his partner ‘Boxers’, are sent to Mexico to rescue a DEA agent kidnapped by a drug cartel. After retrieving the federal agent, they are then hunted them down by the drug lord while trying to escape. They take refuge in an orphanage and later try to escape again but this time with the orphanage children in tow because Grave knows the children will be killed if left behind. There is a bit of conflict between Grave and Boxers because Boxers’ priority is to save the ‘precious cargo’ (PC) - the DEA agent and Grave can't leave children behind to die. Gilstrap developed a richer character of ‘Scorpion’, code name for Grave in this tale and a more sensitive and emotional character for ‘Big Guy’ (Boxers) as well. Their character development fir this narrative was very well done without either losing any of their ‘badass’ attitude. I love this storyline with its twist and turns, suspense, and action. The pace complimented the plot and the ending was explosive! Basil Sands is does another superb job in narrating. Again, Gilstrap’s Jonathan Grave series is consistently good and Final Target is proof of the consistency.

The Jonathan Gray series of books just gets better and better with each release.

Love the book, author, and narrator they were all fantastic together! I was a little late getting to this book series, but man oh man, I’m enjoying each and every one of the that I’ve listened to so far. All I can say is when’s the movie series coming out?

a solid entry

This book isn't going to redeem the western world or improve life for anyone, but it was a solid 13 hours of narrative entertainment, with a plot straightforward enough to follow yet convoluted enough to be interesting, with apparent hopeless hurdles overcome with the right amount of derring-do by a cast large enough to engage the senses.

Wow. Jack Reacher eat your heart out!

Love the Jonathan Grave series. Can't wait for the next one. Keep them coming. Digger and Boxer are my heroes.

Favorite To Date!

I always enjoy the adventurers of Scorpion and Big Guy, but this book is my favorite in the series. In past books, involving children, they are whiney and annoying. The children in this book are tough and have immense personal character, especially Tomas. There was also a richer development of Scorpion and Big Guy's emotional character. It was very well done without either losing any of their badass attitude. Well worth a credit!

Fantastic! My first Gilstrap listen.

Wasn't expecting such a great book. Great plot, character development and narration. If you like Mitch Rapp, Dewey Andreas, and the like, you will definitely like this book.

Now excuse me while I click to the next screen and order another book in this series.

Best in recent titles

It's the best of this series. I hope there are more with the new characters.
