Good concept, mediocre execution

3.75*/5*. The author had a good concept for the story and main character, though it wasn’t adequately executed. Way too much cheesy, unrealistic dialogue. The plot had a lot of holes in it, it was way too over the top in many of the action sequences, even for a thriller. The characters were only somewhat developed, a little bit flat, hopefully things will get better in future releases. Every female character of importance was a cliché, Toughest nails, takes no shit, shows no fear. I’ll give future entries in the series a chance, if we’re lucky, the author can clean things up a bit.

3.75 stars overall rounded up!

The last hour makes the whole audiobook! A little cliched and dated. Still, definitely a worthwhile listen.

Interesting story great read

I enjoyed it, good plot, good narration and excellent way to pass a long drive

A well oiled machine.

Good characters and storyline. I liked the good guys and not the bad guys. Zoom.

Fast pace and no BS

Good story, not loaded with all the bs and bravado like other post military books.
Tyler has his demons, but is able to separate them from the here and now
