Former Delta operator Patrick Darwin leads Phalanx Security’s best private security team, running protection details with Cal Wafer, former SEAL Team Six sniper, and Gabe Henderson, former Detroit SWAT assaulter. They’re rotating out of Baghdad when VIP client Martin Lindy demands immediate protection along the Texas/Mexico border, where he and his crew are spending tax dollars building a virtual fence. Sounds like a paid vacation.
Then they run into Maro, a Cuban expatriate trained by the Soviets to kill Afghans. Now he’s a mercenary working for the Luna Cartel, protecting drug shipments and dismembering troublemakers with his Russian entrenching shovel. On the hostile line in the sand between Texas and Mexico, Maro fights for money and the hell of it, using brutal guerrilla tactics to get what he wants. No way these new boys are going to stop him.
But he’s never fought a crew like Darwin’s before, Maro and his cartel lords better prepare for a level of professional warfare they have never seen.

About the author

8Ìýbooks28ÌýfollowersHaving a great book to read makes me happy, and I try to provide that for you.
I have written ten books across multiple genres, and my day job is writing lore and story arcs for a very popular video game. I used to write technical validation documents in the basement of a pharmaceutical company--novels and video games are much more fun.
My wife and I have a rescue dog who collects mud and two cats who aren't impressed by anything we do. We bought a lawn tractor last year and took turns posing with it. That was a great day.

This was one of those in-between ratings but I suspect this is going to stay on my virtual bookshelf for re-reading so it gets a 5 star from me.
Definitely a full speed ahead military/security/high body count plot, a fast paced book that didn't really give you a lot of chances to take a deep breath and relax. The characters were well developed, not only the main protagonists but also the 'bad guys' and many of the supporting characters. The lone female character was on the 'naturally she gets captured and rescued' list, but one of the male characters was as well and she was presented as a tough, competent person as well which is something not all authors manage well.
For me, a high-action adventure para-military book is just plain escapism ... and this one fills that category better than most.

A great military who done it
A military who done it with lots of double twist you won't see coming. Great dialogue between the two main antagonist. A very realistic plot in the frenetic world of today politics. This will some day make a great movie.

For the average ammosexual this book should be a good read. The characters do not have much depth and the action is predictable.
