Publisher Description
From the Real Book Spy, Ryan Steck, comes another riveting Matthew Redd thriller.
On an island off the coast of Spain, Matthew Redd and his FBI fly team surveil a luxury villa in hopes of catching a high-value fugitive. But when Redd leads an unauthorized raid on the villa, he discovers they’ve been set up, and he is sent home to face the consequences of defying orders.
Meanwhile, Redd’s wife, Emily, is on a remote stretch of Montana road driving their sick baby to the doctor when she finds her SUV surrounded by a biker gang intent on harassing her. As the bikers pound her fenders and her infant son screams, Emily fights to keep the SUV on the road . . . and then suddenly the bikers back off, leaving her safe but shaken.
Redd returns home, suspended from his team and certain that he is to blame for Emily’s harassment after his run-in with the local biker gang the year before. Fearing that there is more to come, he prepares to defend his family. But Redd soon learns the gang is stronger in numbers than he could’ve imagined, and there is more behind their vendetta than he could’ve guessed. As his son’s condition worsens and his beloved ranch faces financial ruin, he finds himself fighting a war on multiple fronts—one he can’t win on his own.
• Book 2 in the Matthew Redd series
• An adrenaline-fueled military suspense novel
• A modern western that’s perfect for fans of Brad Thor, Jack Carr, and C.J. Box
Customer Reviews
Great sequel in a great series!
Ryan Steck has penned the perfect follow up to Fields of Fire. I have been looking forward to this next installment of the Matt Redd series and for good reason; it is a page turner and a return to real american, patriotic heroes with family values. The character development and plot are outstanding and made for a fun read that kept me turning the pages. Looking forward to the third book of this series!
I liked it
So I’ll start with what I liked-this most definitely was an action thriller. One of the scenes in the beginning of the book was one of the more terrifying ones I can remember reading and can only imagine my own terror if me or my family was in a similar situation. There’s also a lot of one on one fights that remind me of early Jack Reacher novels and that doesn’t disappoint.
What I struggle with is the mentality of the main character. He does come across as a bully and hothead that doesn’t think things all the way through. Entering a bar full of drugged up bikers looking for a fight isn’t smart nor is it wise for your family’s safety. Also his feelings towards authority would seem to make him ill fitting to lead any kind of task force especially given his feeling towards his father. Hopefully this is more an example of a young hothead that will mature and think before acting.
