Kensington Books and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of Brute Force, in exchange for an honest review.This political thriller is the sixth book in a series featuring main character Special Agent Jericho Quinn. Months of living as a fugitive from the United States Government has left him looking haggard and worn. Formerly an agent with OSI, or the United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Quinn is working on covert missions with other US military personnel and the National Security Advisor to the former President. Current President Hartman Drake is being controlled by terrorists and Vice President Lee McKeon is working with international weapons dealers to shore up his defenses and show force to all that might dare to oppose. It is up to Quinn and the rest of Winfield Palmer's team to restore the United States and save it from tyranny.Fast paced with great action sequences, Brute Force is a well planned and thought out international thriller. Although I am clearly missing some of the nuances of Quinn's character, due to the fact that this is the first book featuring him that I have read, I was still able to get right into the novel. Because this is a political thriller where the world is on the brink and America is in shambles, I am rather glad to not see a whole lot of realism here. If this book resembled real life, I might never sleep again. My only advice to readers is to perhaps start with the first Jericho Quinn novel. I think he is a character who is worth getting to know instead of reading about him in the middle of his career.
Marc Cameron is a master story teller, and his commitment to writing is evident through the amount of research he puts into his fight and racing scenes. Cameron makes Jericho Quinn and the other characters of this series completely believable, and they age with the books, too, especially through their feeling the amount of pain they suffer each time they are cut up, shot, or whatever. I loved how Cameron exited a new character at the end of "Brute Force," as I wanted a fairly good ending.Marc Cameron is easily and by far my favorite story teller, and I cannot wait for the next Jericho Quinn installment!
Marc took us on a wild ride from start to finish. I am a huge fan of Marc's books but found this book to be the best yet. He brought us into the problems of dealing with the Chinese, helping me to understand where we are in the world today. As always his friend Jaques was close at hand until Song sent him back to the states. I loved the play between Kim, Jericho's ex wife and Camille taking down Joey B. Along comes Jaques to save the day. The book culminated with the race to Seattle to capture the Chinese weapon. I sincerely hope that Kim can bring Mattie home to Alaska and Jericho will be able to reunited with her. Will eagerly await the nest book.
I could NOT put this book down u tail it was done. The newest installment in the Jericho Quinn series and the best book yet. Read this series, starting at book 1 and don't stop until you're done with this one. You won't regret it.
Highly plausible themes, superb villains, bigger than life heroes and excellent writing make for captivating reading. It is extremely hard to set these books aside as you get totally caught up in the story.
I don't know how anyone could give this less than 5 stars! These Jericho Quinn stories are exciting, interesting, well-written, and sometimes funny! "Brute Force" is a continuation of the story in "Day Zero", Book 5. What happens to the USA and China when radical Muslims become President and Vice President and create an atmosphere of hate and terror in the USA? Can Jericho and his friends do anything to stop a war? No cliffhanger this time!
The evil Feng brothers are trying to cause a war with China, wreaking havoc everywhere they go. BIG UNCLE thinks he us smarter and .ore powerful than the players I this spy war, but Ran and her daughter Song prove otherwise. Jericho is teamed up with Song but his girlfriend Garcia is being tortured in a secret Locatin. Can Jericho save the women from certain death? It isn't easy to say the least. A page turner. Also clean language a. BIG plus!
I love the characters in this series and was happy to see them all involved at some point in the storyline. At one point it seemed as if the world tour would never end but the story line got back on track and the reading became a must finish. The action is fast paced and the ending had me holding my breath waiting for the outcome. The author wrapped everything up nicely.
