Publisher Description
“One of the best thrillers I have read this year. The plot is intelligent and will keep you hooked from the beginning. The author did a superb job creating a set of characters who are fully developed and very much enjoyable. I can hardly wait for the sequel.”
--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Any Means Necessary)
When nuclear waste is stolen by jihadists in the middle of the night from an unguarded New York City hospital, the police, in a frantic race against time, call in the FBI. Luke Stone, head of an elite, secretive, department within the FBI, is the only man they can turn to. Luke realizes right away that the terrorists’ aim is to create a dirty bomb, that they seek a high-value target, and that they will hit it within 48 hours.
A cat and mouse chase follows, pitting the world’s most savvy government agents versus its most sophisticated terrorists. As Agent Stone peels back layer after layer, he soon realizes he is up against a vast conspiracy, and that the target is even more high value than he could have imagined—leading all the way to the President of the United States.
With Luke framed for the crime, his team threatened and his own family in danger, the stakes could not be higher. But as a former special forces commando, Luke has been in tough positions before, and he will not give up until he finds a way to stop them—using any means necessary.
Twist follows twist as one man finds himself up against an army of obstacles and conspiracies, pushing even the limits of what he can handle, and culminating in a shocking climax.
A political thriller with heart-pounding action, dramatic international settings, and non-stop suspense, ANY MEANS NECESSARY marks the debut of an explosive new series that will leave you turning pages late into the night.
Book #2 in the Luke Stone series is also now available!
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The first installment in Jack Mars’ high-suspense Luke Stone series is a pacey and uber-contemporary American thriller. Any Means Necessary fictionalises front-page news—terrorism, nuclear threats and political conspiracy all figure in—and cranks up the adrenaline-pumping action. At the center of it all sits FBI agent Stone: a complex, completely relatable hero who has everything to lose, including his family and his reputation. Prepare to hurtle towards a cliffhanger ending.
Customer Reviews
First non-fiction book
This was a great book. I do not have any reading experience, so my review may not bear much weight.
I couldn’t put it down. It was extremely easy to read and the characters are pretty deep. I’m on book two now.
Definitely recommend!
Wow!
I am 30 years old. The only time I ever read a book front to back was either a children’s book, or what they made me read in school. On my venture to create a more positive mindset for my self, I picked this free read, off the book store. I read this book start to finish in four days time. I was hooked! Everything was so descriptively explained not just was I able to visualize every last detail to the book, I actually felt like I was there and I created bonds to the characters in the books. The way the author was able to write a whole book, where the time frame was no more than 24-30 hours past; blows my mind! It’s edgy, comedic, and completely action packed. It’s written so well and kept me so hooked that as soon as I’m done writing this review I am going to be purchasing the second book of the series!
Do be warned! Yes the first book is free, it’s free because they know you’ll be buying the second one. Enjoy the read 🙂
Exceptional
Best political thriller I have read in a longtime. Page turner from start to finish.
