Welcome to ‘American Sniper’ meets ‘The Godfather’ ─ another suspense action thriller from an author with over 500 Five-Star Kindle ratings. As Bob Burke’s 737 lands at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, he sees a man strangling a woman on a rooftop below. No one believes him, of course, but that doesn’t matter. He knows what he saw, and Bob Burke isn’t the kind of guy to let a thing like that rest. In this medical fraud thriller, over the next three days, he finds himself butting heads with the Chicago mob, crooked suburban cops, a zealous US Attorney, a psychopathic doctor, and his own vindictive soon-to-be-ex-wife, who is trying to take his company away from him. Slight of build and now a telecommunications company executive, Burke appears to be an easy guy to dismiss; but ‘the telephone guy’ is a former Army Ranger and Delta Force commander who spent four tours in Iraq and the rugged mountains of Afghanistan running ‘special operations’ missions. He and his men are some of the most lethal killers the US government ever produced. As the others will readily admit, however, it is the little guy in the middle of their group photos who is the one you don’t want to meet in a dark alley. Whether he’s carrying a Barrett .50-caliber sniper rifle, a knife, or only his bare hands, he is equally lethal. So, when the bodies start falling in this FBI Mafia thriller, when a young woman needs help, and when the wrong people push his buttons, he doesn’t hesitate. His new combat zone might be a glittering high-rise office building, tract houses in a suburban subdivision, or a wooded Chicago Forest Preserve District, but they started it and Bob Burke intends to finish it. And when he needs a little backup, he knows just the guys to call. Burke’s Gamble, the second book in the Bob Burke delete thriller series, Burke's Gamble comes out on May 1, and is now available for pre-order. If you like a good action adventure suspense thriller novel, put this fast-moving Delta Force thriller in your Cart. It is another war and military best seller novel from the author of ‘The Undertaker,’ ‘Amongst My Enemies,’ ‘Thursday at Noon,’ “Aim True, My Brothers,’ and ‘Winner Lose All.’ Enjoy!

I was looking for a book to read, something with some action in it and I saw the sequel to this book on my Kindle feed. It looked like it might be a good read but I generally like to start at the beginning of a series which, led me to look at this book. After reading the blurb and seeing the many high ratings I decided to give it a shot.I love a good vigilante book, so I was ready to go. We're told Bob's qualifications at the beginning which, I think is a good idea for authors, especially in the first book. It primes the reader to start suspending reality and accept why the character is able to do the things (s)he does without a lot of "that's not possible" or "That would never happen".The plot line was interesting and will require that suspension of belief right from the start with Bob's observation of the event that will change his life forever.The story was well written and the charters were richly developed to give you a fairly clear perception of who they are and what motivated them through the events of the story.The first quarter of the book was slow but that is to be expected in the first book of a series as all the characters and landscape need to be laid'd out. Once the action starts it only keeps ratcheting up until the final curtain call. My hope for the other books in the series are quicker to get into the action.I never really have trouble giving authors and their characters a lot of leeway as long as it's with a reasonable ballpark of believe-ability but one thing that irritates me is when plot devices used to force a character to do something or to advance a plot line are illogical. There were a couple of those in the book but they didn't raise to the scope of ruining the story for me.
