    About this audiobook

    Special operative Eric Steele must stop a foreign assassin targeting top-tier U.S. military personnel and derail a strike aimed at the heart of America in this third electrifying military thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of All Out War, perfect for fans of Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, and Tom Clancy

    Two months after taking down terrorist Aleksandr Zakayev, Eric Steele is back in action. Though he is completing his Alpha assignments with the same deadly efficiency as always, he has lingering questions about his missing father—and his own future in the Program.

    When Steele gets the alert that a fellow Alpha is in serious trouble, he rushes to Paris—only to arrive too late. Jonathan Raines, Stalker Six, is dead, the victim of a brutal attack. While on leave in the City of Light, Raines had met an attractive art historian who lured him into a trap. Before she vanished, the mysterious woman left a warning for anyone from the Alpha program who might follow her.

    One of the best and most effective warriors in the top-secret Program, Steele has been trained to take on enemies, and no threat will deter him from avenging a fallen brother. But the killer won’t be easy to find. The search takes Steele around the world, from France, to the Adriatic coast of Italy, to the outskirts of Aleppo, Syria, and to a top-secret prison in Russia— where, unexpectedly, he finds more clues about his father—before finally taking him back to the streets of Washington, D.C.

    No one is safe while the killer is on the loose, and the danger is heightened when Steele discovers intel that killing Alphas is just the beginning of a larger, more nefarious plot. The real target is much, much bigger—and it’s up to Steele to prevent catastrophe before he becomes the next elite warrior to fall.

      Fourth book from this author, 3rd of the series featuring Eric Steele, but not not a very good one. I feel bad about panning action thrillers, I like the genre.

      Like a mythical half man-half beast, I like the idea of a book being both nonfiction and fiction, the two states of being mingling & intermingling to produce something fun to read and perhaps substitute for vicarious experience, just to enliven the otherwise boring tedium of real existence and because I don’t get out much.

      Who here can honestly stand up and say that he or she doesn’t hope for something exciting, interesting and believable in a novel? Does literature have to be heavy, dull and lugubrious?

      Of course not. But it has to be able to stand on its own two feet and look you straight in the eye.

      Why? Because while the author obviously goes all out to fill each page with YIN of action, he forgets the YANG of suspense.

      When every woman is a cross between Scarlett Johansson, Lara Croft, Mata Hari and the deadliest of black widow spiders, it creates a vortex that verisimilitude gets lost in. When it is difficult to distinguish one male character from another. The characters just seem degenerate into contrivances to push the plot along.

      Although, the author’s non-fiction Outlaw Platoon was excellent, and the the other action novels of this series were fun, this one shoots blanks, I’m spite of containing a few exciting, action-filled scenes.

      Even in pulp action stories, I like character development but I can certainly tolerate a little superficial, evanescent and weak characterisation as the cost of getting swept along in a great story.

      In One True Patriot , characters are just cardboard pawns playing against the clock. The writing is also a little stilted, The usual genre tricks and stereotypes of the trade are used to good effect.the use of Name brands abound, truth, liberty and the American Way are staunchly defended…but, but…it just doesn’t work. Sorry, it just doesn’t.

      A sort of Chinese takeaway of a book, after you finish it, you’re gonna be hungry in a few hours for something more substantial.

      I like the action, narrator, plot, and the pacing. I can't give it 5 stars though just because the main character has only about as much personality as a cardboard box. Still I enjoyed it enough to read one more in the series.
