Revenge and justice are two of the most common words to describe the level of execution of hardened Tier One operators. But those that leave everything behind to answer a higher calling, so dedicated to the mission that the only thing that matters is completing the goal. John Dempsey, a man amongst boys, is locked away in a desolate Russian prison with almost no hope of getting out, and he might just be okay with that. While his whereabouts are unknown to the team, they are tasked with capturing a cartel officer so they can wring him for intel.
Oceans away, Dempsey is busy keeping a low profile and getting in the graces of some of the most vicious Russian mob members that just happened to be locked away with him. An unexpected agreement between Russian and American patriots forces the Ember team to play ball in a court they’ve never known before all while Dempsey is forced to complete his most dangerous mission. As if the Zetas weren’t an already formidable group that has wreaked havoc and death on Ember, they have tasking that involves bringing one to safety and rescuing the family of a Russian criminal.
Andrews & Wilson bring the heat in the most dangerous game of political chess ever played out on the world's stage. Well placed action and intrigue blend well with the murderous and psychotic dictator that needs to be removed from power. This might sound like current headline news, and it seamlessly fulfills that narrative, but Dempsey hits it in all the right ways. The dynamic between characters is fun to catch on to along with the hair raising action but there are some really dark scenes that show how truly dedicated John Dempsey is.
One of my favorite subplots in this Tier One adventure is how former Navy SEAL Captain Kelso Jarvis, now the Vice President of the United States, is helping run the country and learn to live with a girlfriend all while simultaneously running the single most deadly covert operations program. There are so many great aspects of this book and the characters have great style while the plot is detailed and thorough. Nothing is lacking in this adventure, and it is an instant classic added to the Tier One series.
