When terrorists assault Saint Agnes Church in Saint Paul, Minnesota, they expect to find a congregation of lambs: they get Bobby Kurtz instead. An unrepentant Cold Warrior, Kurtz destroys the terror cell with violent finality. Against his will, Kurtz is pulled back into the life he left behind decades before. He reluctantly picks up the burden of hunting the terrorists in our midst. He risks his life, and his marriage, in a single-minded pursuit of victory over evil. Working with a shadowy government agency, Kurtz uses all of his skills and experience to foil a plan that would plunge the Twin Cities back into the Stone Age. The final battle rages across the plains during a Christmas Eve blizzard in a story that will leave the reader pleading for more of Kurtz and his team of experts.

A Story For Today, A Timeless Theme

April 22, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Joe Courtemanche has created an offbeat protagonist who, at the beginning of the story, finds himself in the wrong place at the right time and gets pulled back into a life he'd thought he left behind long ago. The authenticity of characters, situations, action, and dialogue is first-rate. The insidiousness and cunning of his antagonists--people who want to attack America and our way of life--are chilling and ominous, just the way I like it in thrillers. Courtemanche mixes in touches or humor and buck-the-system irreverence that make you root for his hero all the more. An engaging and entertaining read for fans of black ops thrillers.

Rescued from the . . . Assault on St. Agnes

June 7, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Valuable to reading this novel, it's important to note the information preceding the story. Knowing who Joseph Courtemanche really was and is will bring even more life to this bona fide thriller. Assault on St. Agnes is a very good novel from an author who's been there, done that. What takes place in this book has been a topic of much discussion in recent times from all counterterrorist groups in the USA. Joseph doesn't pull any punches in this story. We all know who the majority of terrorists are and we get a harsh and realistic picture of them in Assault on St. Agnes.

Bobby Kurtz "happened to be" visiting a Catholic church when all hell broke loose. He was messily extracted from the scene and plunged into something he didn't expect. Coerced into assuming a task that used his linguist skills and called on for his previous covert understanding, there's something going down during this snowy Christmas season in Minneapolis, and it can't be good.

Time pressures his new bosses and co-workers to stress Bobby's preparation. They realize terrorists are plotting something big, and they desperately need a lead. Bobby uses his past battle-worthy contacts and brings them in to help zero in on what it is all their overload of information is failing to capture. An off-hand comment from one of them about an in-law gives them that coveted hope for a break.

This thriller allows the reader to observe the vile and psychopathic makeup of terrorists motivated by demonic hatred and perversion while staying patient to make sure they can execute their grand plans of destruction upon the United States of America and its infidel inhabitants. The intense scrutiny of information studied and re-studied by those who secretly disseminate huge volumes of data in various languages reminds us how daunting it is to keep America safe.

Assault on St. Agnes gives us a unique hero with a brilliant brain, an obnoxious personality, a tender heart, but a savvy outlook on the natures of terrorists. High-intensity action, sharp dialogue, and tragic occurrences combine to make this thriller both realistic and meaningful. Highly recommend Joseph Courtemanche's Assault on St. Agnes.

It was great to get to talk to Joe and get to ...

April 9, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

First of all, I had the honor of meeting Joseph Courtemanche at the Athanatos arts festival last year in Wisconsin as he and I have had our novels published through the same organization. It was great to get to talk to Joe and get to know him better and also to understand his military background which makes him qualified to write a novel such as Assault on Saint Agnes.
In my mind, one of the best aspects of Assault on Saint Agnes is that its hero is an underdog. Personally, I have always had a soft spot for the underdog and Bobby Kurtz certainly fits that description. In spite of Bobby's military background, his physical appearance, which resembles Santa Claus, would certainly not inspire terror in anyone. However, underneath that exterior lies the heart of a warrior and that's where the story really takes place. Bobby's dedication to his nation, his family, and his fellow man is admirable and he is perfectly willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect others. The events in the novel are current and quite appropriate for today's world. I also believe that many will enjoy Bobby's sense of humor which targets himself as well as those around him regardless of their rank!
I highly recommend Assault on Saint Agnes to anyone who enjoys a believable military/terrorist thriller. I am already looking forward to the sequel!

This is a must read for anyone that enjoys a thriller that is hard to tell what is fiction and what is non fiction.

May 18, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

"Assault on Saint Agnes" by Joseph Courtemanche is a must read for lovers of military counter terrorism fiction.

The book actually reads like a non fiction since the author is very knowledgeable about counter terrorism having been employed in this field and it truly shows in the details. Obviously the author walked the walk and being a gifted writer he writes in a way that makes you feel like you are right there in the middle of the action.

This book reads fast and you will find it hard to put down once you start.

I highly recommend this book and was blessed to have had this book recommended to me by my pastor Larry Timm and having been blessed I purchased additional copies as gifts for other members of our congregation. I pray other Christians show their love and support for our brother Joe Courtemanche and purchase this book and read it! Truly, you will be glad you did!

Lacked polish, but I would read more of author's work

March 1, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Good first novel. While it lacked the chapter to chapter high tension of a Vince Flynn novel, I was engaged enough to finish the book, which is high praise considering how picky I am about my fiction. The writing seemed a bit rough at points and the end was an off-putting cliff-hanger with a cliched "stay tuned for more!" message.

The protagonist was atypical, which was appealing, Someone you can root for.

While it may have lacked polish, I definitely would be willing to read any subsequent novels the author may publish.

Five Stars!

Assault on Saint Agnes is filled with nonstop action that kept me fully engaged. I was hooked from the very first page and had a hard time setting it aside when the need would arise. I found Bobby to be instantly likeable and a completely realistic guy. I can't recommend this book highly enough and am hoping there's many more books to come by this wonderful author.
