Publisher's summary

Everything comes at a cost....

Author Brent Towns keeps the action coming thick and fast, let’s you up for a breath and then drags you back in for more. After he is betrayed and shoots the two most powerful men in the Irish Mob, John “Reaper” Kane is forced into hiding. He thinks Retribution, Arizona, is the perfect hiding place, but he is wrong. Underneath the old, crusty surface of the dying town, hides the Montoya Cartel, for they use it as a funnel to ship their drugs across the border.

Trying to lay low in a town gripped with lawlessness is impossible for the ex-recon marine, especially after the local sheriff is brutally murdered by the Montoya Cartel’s sicario, leaving an old friend, Deputy Sheriff Cara Billings, the only person standing between them and the town.

Things go from bad to worse when Kane is arrested by Cleaver, the deputy in the cartel’s pocket, for shooting a local gang member.

Enter DEA Agent Luis Ferrero who has expressed to his bosses for a long time the need for a task force to fight the cartels on their own ground. He’s about to get his wish, and to head up his team, he wants the Reaper.

A thrill ride that doesn’t let you go - Retribution is the first novel in the action-packed Reaper Series.

Fast paced and quite good

We have listened to so many military thrillers, but this one didn’t get bogged down. Will be getting next in the series.

Excellent book

I’ve read every military thriller out there from Greaney to Mars to Coes to Fury, everything in between. This is an action packed nonstop pulse pounding read, above average narration. Get this book it’s a rare find and the start of what should be a great series!

Great adventure story

This was a great story in the adventure genre.
Narrated very well.
Sets up for a longer series as well as alot of room for prequels.

The author has written a brilliant novel.

Brent Towns has written a fantastic novel of Black Ops. The narration is excellent and the characters are superb !

Retribution best served cold!

Here we have a detailed contemporary look at a Mexican drug cartel situated between Nogales and Sonora. The Montoya Cartel and its Sicario Ceasar Salazar “El Monstruo” utilize the small town of Retribution, Arizona as a hub for shipping drugs across the border. In another part of the U.S., our MC John “Reaper” Kane, former Force Recon Marine now working in protection services, goes into hiding after killing an Irish mob boss in retaliation for the death of his partner. Kane decides that Retribution, Arizona would be a good out-of-the-way hideout. What a coincidence! See where this is going? Kane and an old friend from his service days get totally embroiled in a war between the DEA and the Montoya Cartel. It’s a pretty good story, fast-paced with lots of action. It’s a story I wish were based in fact. It’s also the first installment of a new series worth looking into.

Binge Listening

I am, if there is such a thing as binge listening. Well screw it there is now and I am binger. I liked this audio book enough to and book 2 and 3 to my library after the first kept me listening enough to drown out the rain showers.
I really enjoyed Brent Towns writing and Francis G. Kearney's voice works well with all of the characters. I am fond of Carlos and Axe.
It just keeps you going,give it a try. Well worth one credit.

Insipid, derivative, formulaic short word drivel

It is as suspenseful as watching someone park a car, as imaginative and fun as driver ed, and as well put together as a typical Christmas sweater. Did I mention as predictable as a glacier ?

terrible dialog - not worth a credit

Slightly better than the old Mac Bolan novels I read in high school.
