Resumen del Editor

From bestselling author J. B. Turner comes the next chapter in Jon Reznick’s story—revenge for a murdered friend.

Jon Reznick is not a man to cross. A brutally effective black-ops veteran, Reznick has a history of taking the law into his own hands. So when a group of masked men murders his closest friend, he swears to exact vengeance. The now-deceased Bill Eastland had been Reznick’s last living tie to his father, leaving him devastated…and furious. Whether or not the FBI approves, he swears to hunt down whoever issued the hit on his friend.

With the help of hacker Trevelle Williams, Reznick tracks the masked murderers from Maine to Texas to New York, quickly becoming embroiled in the shadowy world of the Aryan Brotherhood and the Mafia. As Reznick’s own body count begins to climb, clues lead him to one of the most dangerous crime families in New York, headed by the infamous Paul Moretti. But FBI Assistant Director Martha Meyerstein has just learned a crucial secret that could derail Reznick’s quest for revenge—Moretti is a high-level FBI informant.

Reznick faces a stark choice: take on the FBI and risk severing ties with Martha, or inflict his own form of rigorous justice no matter the possible fallout. How far will he go—and how many government agencies will he undermine—to get retribution for his best friend’s death? He might just have to create his own set of rules.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A riveting novel by author J. B. Turner that will have a strong appeal to fans of Conspiracy Theories and riveting Action-Adventure stories, Hard Fire is the stuff of which block-buster movies are made. Deftly and effectively narrated by the vocal storytelling talents of narrator Jeffrey Kafer.”—Midwest Book Review

F-bomb is the word of the day

I started liking Jon Reznick... but as the books go along, they've basically all the same. nothing new. more important, I'm just tired of the f-bomb dropped in EVERY CONVERSATION. 5 times in one sentence/ interaction. it just so old and unnecessary. I'm glad I didn't pre-buy the next book already.

same story as the last one

totally improbable story. travel times were crazy. who keeps c-4 at home? then there are the phone calls and the IT guy who can move from place tobplace and set up shop in 15 minutes or less.

Fantastic!

I’ve been waiting for what seems like forever for this book! I love John Resnick, and I love the series. There are many other series with heroes similar to John, but they can’t compare. His sense of justice coupled with his inability to follow rules makes for a perfect story. I was hoping that things would finally come together with him and Martha in this book, I’ll have to wait and see in the next one!

I want Reznick on my detail team!

I love this series, the plot of each book always moves along at breakneck speed and the supporting characters are great, can't wait until #11!

Reznick now a comic book character

The John Reznick series has been an above average thriller character. But series seems out of steam as now plot is abadon for full time action hero. One heroic death defying stunt after the other. Against all odds Resnick defeats 4-6 bad guys with a paper clip and a smile. JK. But that is what this book feels like as you go. Sorry but is a little plot and too much to ask?

Hero/lead to vigilante

the series has turned me off by the lawlessness of Jon Reznick. at some time I'll probably try book 11 but can't recommend this series anymore.

Gratuitous vulgarity

Ruined the story. If I heard f#ck once I heard it in every dialogue. Narration was lame and ruined a goo story. Done with JB.

Reznick to the Rescue!!

When Jon Reznick’s lifelong friend and his wife are murdered Reznick has no choice but to track down the killers. On the night of the murders he was able to wound one of them. He tracks down the others in the south and finds a trail leading back to New York. There he looks for whoever gave the order and was ultimately responsible. He finds a thread linking the person to the mafia. But… the FBI has a confidential informant they are protecting deep within the organization and they want Jon out. The director says he’s gone rogue again and places the responsibility squarely in Martha Meyerstein’s lap. Because she’s had a long time relationship with Reznick she does everything in her power to keep him safe without putting her own job at risk.
This is a fast paced, exciting story with plenty of action. If you’re looking for a quick, fun story you won’t be disappointed.
Jeffrey Kafer does a great job narrating.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Plot, Characters and Dialogues Devolve

Jon Reznick, Martha Meyerstein, and Trevelle Williams are all really viable characters. Unfortunately, everyone else, both good and bad, were poorly developed as characters. Even worse, the plot was absurd and the dialogues between the various characters were almost childish.

Somehow, it almost seems as if J. B. Turner has tired of his character. In fact, Turner’s writing style didn’t seem to match his earlier work.

If Reznick were to evolve into an appreciated asset instead of the unconventional hero, always hated by those he saves and if Turner takes an interest in further developing the core characters, Jon Reznick’s adventures might be more interesting. I hope this will happen. Turner’s earlier Reznick adventures were fun to read/listen.

Otherwise, Reznick should consider retiring to a quiet life in Maine.

Luv Resnik!

I could not wait for this book! Never disappointed! I am ready for the next book.
