★★★★★ "All I can say is WOW! This book rocks. The action starts right at the get-go and doesn't let up until the end. Jack Bonafide is at the point of going rogue and taking care of business his own way. He is let go from the Delta Force and CIA and ordered to stand down. Do you think he'll do that? Hell no." -David/ Goodreads Review★★★★★ "Anyone who likes Tom Clancy will love Jordan Vezina. He hits you right between the eyes and leaves you wanting more." -David Bates/ Amazon Review★★★★★ "Jack Bonafide is one of the very few 'heroes' I’ve read who seem more real than fiction. Personal issues and habits are real, something that could stop anyone, but he pushes through them to get the job done. Constant action and twists to keep you guessing what’s going to be the outcome of his assignment. I’m ready for the next book please!" -Larry Taylor/ Goodreads Review
