Harm's Way By John Gilstrap

John Gilstrap fires up another electrifying, action-packed, smash-and-grab mission with bullets flying and explosions rocking the night sky. Harm’s Way will get your adrenaline pumping and have your heart in your throat as you follow a risky mission to its messy and deadly conclusion.

Jonathan Graves and his crew are asked by the FBI director to undertake an off the books and extremely sensitive mission to rescue American missionaries who have been kidnapped in Venezuela. But what starts as a hostage rescue pitting them against a vicious drug cartel quickly turns into something much bigger with the discovery of a Russian FSB agent on the scene. Now the team is faced with increased complexity and mission creep with the revelation of what the Russians are up to. Can they save the hostages and thwart the Russians' plans? Because if they can’t, the balance of world power will change forever.

The intensity level from start to finish in Harm’s Way is incredibly high. From mission planning to execution, there’s a constant ratcheting up of tensions that’s felt in a very palpable way. And once the guns start blazing and bodies start dropping, all the reader can do is hold on for the ride and wish for the best. Because anything and everything is in play, and we have no control over the outcome. And, oh man, those action sequences are exhilarating and anxiety-inducing as all hell.

Compelling and well-crafted, Harm’s Way is the latest in a long string of fantastic novels that constitute the Jonathan Grave series. And the best part is this installment opens a new storyline to continue into the future. So Digger, Big Guy, Gunslinger, and Mother Hen are set to be with us for a while longer. Which is great news for fans of this somewhat underrated and highly entertaining series.
