Having known Antonio for several years I had the privilage to read this book prior to having it published. It was a great read as I couldn't put it down. 5 Stars

Well Done Antonio!!

Michael Mitchell

This book was hard to put down. Intense, action-packed, and humorous. Really gave you a feeling of what it was like to be a police officer on the streets of Miami during the 1980's.

I especially enjoyed the variety of characters and how they developed as the story grew. Very true to life

I would highly recommend this book to anyone. Mr. Bustillo's style of writing is very straight forward and gives you the feeling that you are there with all the characters.

I haven't read Bustillo's first book Steady Training but will be looking forward to reading it also as I enjoyed Renegade Crew so much.

Antonio Bustillo has done it again with another fantastic book. Having lived in Miami all my life I was more than familiar with the Miami River Cops scandal and followed it closely. Antonios book was exciting and I had trouble putting it down.

This book is a must have for anyone.

Here are the phrases that spring to mind when delving into this book:
o Eye for an Eye.
o Fire with Fire.
o Revenge

It's an exciting tale into the lives and actions of a tight-knit crew of cops who believe in immediate repercussions for transgressions by criminals. This book raises a few points about some of the short-comings of the judicial system. It also illustrates the dangers of bending the
rules so that the punishment fits the crime.

The ending has a bit of a fairy-tale flavor to it, but this is more than compensated for by the grit, fear, and adrenalin rush throughout the text. We get to see the comraderie between officers and get a feeling for what drives these brothers in arms.


This is a fantastic book - and would probably make an equally superb action flick.

Books about cops are usually the same old re-hashed, ponderous stuff. "Renegade Crew" is the exception. It is fast-paced, action-packed and humorous all in one. The author allows the reader to feel empathy for any or none of the river cops in question. Whether you agree with how they went about arresting criminals or not, the story is different from any other cop book that is out there. Giving it even more credibility is the author who is a former police officer. "Renegade Crew" deserves five-stars. I did not want to put it down and I will be re-reading it again tonight. I'd like to read the sequel to see what ever happened to these guys. I wonder if they are swimming with the fish yet? Thank you for the opportunity to express my enjoyment of this book.

A very realistic, action packed and humor filled book. Through the author's writing style, characters, dialogues and scenes, they made you feel like you were actually witnessing the events unfold or watching a movie.

The book just becomes more realistic, when, after some research, I found out that there was actually a case in the 80s which involved a group of police officers convicted for stealing and selling drugs and murder and that the author was actually a police officer at that time.

This book was an incredible read. The descriptions are vividly realistic, and I just couldn't put this book down. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

The author's second book is similar to a travel guides descriptions of far away exotic locales and adventures with the fatal flaw being the author has never been on a greyhound bus past the city limits of his hometown. Writing about police exploits or martial arts persona possessive of physical courage and masculine virtues requires more than being in the vicinity or familiarity with a dictionary and a typewriter. The lady protests too much methinks. A weak book. Don't recommend it.
