Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2009

As a favor to a CIA officer, SBS operative Stratton carries out what appears to be an inconsequential task in Central America. But Stratton’s actions push him into the midst of a national rebellion, and against his own principles he becomes emotionally involved and decides to join the popular uprising. Unknown to him, however, the rebellion is a fight not just against the local government, as the CIA is very much involved. As events spiral disastrously out of control, Stratton must face up to his biggest and most treacherous challenge to date.

This review is from: Mercenary (Hardcover)

For all of Falconer's pedigree I thought this book would be a lot better, but it comes off as more of a romance novel than that of an adventure novel.

It was well written and easy to read, but pretty boring and overly simple. Some details would have been nice.

I would give it a 2.5 stars if I could.
