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

ByDennis A. Riccion 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.

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

ByPaul J. Bennetton 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!

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

ByAmazon Customeron 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.

Great first novel - can't wait for his next one!

ByFrank C. Steveron April 19, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I received a pre-publish copy of ‘Assault on St. Agnes’. Joe Courtemanche’s hero, Bobby Kurtz, uses the power of prayer to great effect. Bobby Kurtz is a simple righteous man, striving to live a simple righteous life. He is a sheepdog in a world of sheep, and in this story has worked to put the demons of his past behind him. Courtemanche’s hero is building a life for himself and his wife, one of love for each other. That search for a good and moral life is threatened when Evil becomes manifest. Bobby must deal with it in the best way he knows how – which usually involves a laser targeting device and a .45 ACP bullet.
But ‘Assault’ is not a formula Good Guys vs. Bad Guys tale. Courtemanche uses his story telling skills to bring to light serious issues of right and wrong – to ask what is morally right, and not just ‘politically correct’, and to point that there is true Evil in our world.
Make no mistake – Courtemanche’s story is a roller-coaster ride. It will grab you from the first paragraph, and not let you go until the ride is over.
I have a short prayer that use in time of stress, which goes like this:
"God, please don’t let me screw this up!"
If I can shut up long enough, I can hear a still small voice answering - "I won’t."
In ‘Assault on St. Agnes’, you will see that God doesn’t let his sheepdogs down.

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

ByJoseph G.on 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!
