Good book. I would have liked a little bit more on the church but I have yet to be disappointed by John Gilstrap.

Much better than the last book in the series. This one starts out with the rescue and kick butt action all the way thru. Enjoyable.

Wanted to give it a 3.5, but since it was one of those books that you wish you could just read in one sitting, I rounded up. One of the better thrillers I've read in a while.

Gilstrap is just so freakin great. I think this was the best so far. Tristan was the kind of PC you can get behind. It’s so important in these books. The evil of this particular drug lord and rogue CIA agent was tangible. Digger and The Big Guy never better. Gunslinger and Mother Hen had good reasons for reduced roles. Who knows how one of them will move forward? Father Dom picked up the slack for them.
You could just feel how horrible the drug controlled areas of Mexico are. Gilstrap’ s depictions were so real as to be uncomfortable. The ending left some questions unanswered while others resolved perfectly. Can’t wait to see what happens in the next one!

Another great from John Gilstrap in his Jonathan Graves series. Great action, great play between characters - I always look forward to the next one!

Yeah, a bit pedestrian, but, the books are fun, and Jonathan is an interesting character.

Exactly what I wanted: tough guys, action, violence that isn’t processed too deeply by the characters, and nobody under the age of 15 in harm’s way. I only gave it 3 stars because I don’t think it will be very memorable, but I would happily read more from this author. The writing was clean and unembellished, perfect for this sort of book.
