![]() If the author ever writes another book, I hope he hires a new editor. I know this may seem petty, but the author should have written this chronologically correct. How could someone who served in the military not know this?ģ)The discussion is regarding how father and son amassed their fortunes in the Vietnam War and the Cold War. Coastie, who was in the Coast Guard, says: "What's a VMI?" I have never served in the military, and I knew immediately that VMI was Virginia Military Institute. However, the author has Coastie say this: "How will I recognize them?" WHAT? She is sitting at the same table with someone who knows them!!! Why would she even be concerned with recognition?Ģ)The discussion regards a character who attended VMI. Swanson knows both these characters VERY WELL. Here are a few examples:ġ)Swanson and Coastie are sitting together, awaiting the arrival of Janna and Lucky. However, the author was very sloppy in this last book. If the author has indeed retired Swanson, then he did it in a good way. If this is the last in this series, that would be great-in the sense that an author would "retire" his character before he/she becomes too tiresome and the stories become way too silly and desperate. A fantastic series that is well worth a read. There is no doubt that this is going to be a very dangerous manhunt, for someone that is very good at killing people himself. Not one for taking on a partner, Kyle is asked to allow CIA Agent Luke Gibson to join him in the hunt for Marks. Agent Nicky Marks has probably picked the wrong man to cross, but he is no slouch in the skills department himself. Kyle isn’t about to let the perpetrator get away, and it doesn’t take him long to work out that the man responsible is a rogue CIA agent. The real smack in the face is when someone targets her husband’s funeral, in such a violent way. However, they didn’t need to ask him this time when his good friend Beth ‘Coastie’ Ledford’s husband is killed. This story moves along at a good pace, and it certainly held my interest all the way through.Įven though Kyle Swanson has retired from the Marine Corps and joined the private sector, he still gets to use his skills occasionally when the CIA come calling. However, he’s a not someone to be messed with, and if you’ve been selected as his target, then you’re as good as dead. Besides being an incredible marksman, he has such a quiet and easy-going nature. This is the 10th book in the series and I’ve really enjoyed everyone of them. Kyle Swanson, at the worst possible moment in a combat showdown, must decide: Do you trust your partner, and if so, which one?īrilliant, I loved it. Swanson also lines up a secret partner, the beautiful widow of his friend whose grave was desecrated in Mexico, the sharpshooting former commando Beth Ledford, who has her own agenda of pure retribution. That takes them from the pink poppy fields of Afghanistan to the jungles of Southeast Asia and the streets of America as they learn that the Prince is the ruthless kingpin of a global drug empire that uses CIA planes to transport opium and heroin. But before Kyle and Luke can eliminate the threat, they must identify and find the man who wants them dead. ![]() They are looking for assassin Nicky Marks, who also was a CIA shooter but now works for a shadowy power broker known as The Prince. Swanson is assigned to find the root of the problem and is partnered up with Luke Gibson, a skilled operative rated as being almost as good as Swanson. In Washington, Congress is being told that Swanson has been turned, his private employer is corrupt, and the Agency itself cannot be trusted. A week later, he narrowly survives a grenade attack in Berlin. The highly decorated former Marine Corps gunnery sergeant is attending the funeral of a friend when a terrorist blows up the grave. The Central Intelligence Agency is under attack, and so is its top field operative, Kyle Swanson.
