Red Specter by Brian Andrews, Jeffrey Wilson
4.0
I was fortunate to receive an advanced copy of Red Specter and I have nothing but great things to say about it. This book has everything you want in a military thriller: high level operators, clandestine units fighting it out against each other while racing against the clock, high level moles that need to be flushed out, and tons of action where no one is safe. It starts with a bang and never lets up. Incredibly fast paced it's near impossible to put down as you are dying to know what happens next.
I don't want to spoil the book, so I won't talk about the plot in detail. All I will say is it's a wonderfully crafted story pitting an elite clandestine US counter terror unit against an equally covert and capable Russian unit. And while it's action packed with a large body count, the plot also has depth with several twists that keep you guessing until the end.
While this is a series and picks up shortly after the prior book ends, you can still dive into Red Specter without the benefit of having read the rest of the series. The authors do a great job of building depth in the characters if you're familiar with them, while at the same time giving new readers the critical info they need to get caught up quickly. Dempsey is one of the great kick ass operators in the genre, but the supporting characters are also quite strong with different personalities and add a ton to the story.
I highly recommend this book, especially if you're a fan of authors like Mark Greaney and Matthew Betley. You won't be disappointed.
