This feels like it kicks off a newer path for the Tier One series. While I think they're best enjoyed in order - if catching up with the previous 6 books feels too daunting, you could start here. (though I'm always going to recommend them!)

The only thing I wish I'd known going in is that a lot of the suspense aspect of this is psychological and there' heavy emotional themes. It's not at all a complaint, but I kind of had to "reset" how I engaged if that makes sense.

Dempsey is off on his own dealing with political & organized crime characters that he never knows if he's being helped or herded by. The rest of his team thinks he's MIA and presumed never coming back.

Then! There's a surprise character who has never been a central focus before. On it's own his trials were interesting, but I'm so hoping that Andrews & Wilson continue to feature him in future books. I would love to see him more.

Narration:
Ray Porter rocks. What more can I say? I love listening to him. Paired with A&W - chef's kiss.

Need the next novel now.

This novel was the collimation of events from book 4 to now. Task Force Ember vs Russia. Can't wait to see what's next for Ember, Jarvis, and Jack Kemper's son Jake as he takes the steps to become an elite warfighter known as the Navy Seal.

Dempsey is a brand new book by Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson in the Tier One series and its main charater is surprisingly Dempsey but his son is also a big part of this book. I found this one to be not the best in the series but I really like the way the authors keeps building the characters and theur history. It is a great way when you have more than one series where you can let them expand and build an universe where they live and the fact that Andrews and Wilson even have books dedicated to individuals is a great way to tell a story. I will continue following these series and I recommend that you do as well. Thanks to Blackstone Publishing and Edelweiss for letting me read this book and Andrews and Wilson, please keep up the good work.
