Chunk, Heels and the rest of the Tier One Navy SEALs are back in Sons of Valor II: Violence of Action, another killer military thriller that brings forth the trademark Andrews & Wilson action, violence and sarcasm we know and love.
Picking up after the events of the first Sons of Valor, Chunk and team are in hot pursuit of any leads that will help them dismantle the al Qadar terrorist network when a SEAL on another team is killed in an ambush by a sniper. Rumor has it the trigger-puller is none other than the infamous Lion of Ramadi who terrorized the American military during the Iraq War. To make matters worse, details of the kill are posted online to taunt the American operators and strike fear in the hearts of their families. This modern evolution of the battle space seems to signal an escalation of hostilities and that something big is on the horizon. But Chunk and team are not ones to let the fight come to them. They mount up and pursue their enemy with a dogged persistence and a no holds barred mentality that puts them on the path to stomping out the threat and getting vengeance for their fallen brother. And this time, it’s personal!
I don’t know how they keep doing it, but Andrews & Wilson deliver yet again. Sons of Valor II is non-stop, balls-to-the-wall action that starts with anxiety levels at a 10 out of 10 and builds from there. The military operations are realistic, the intelligence gathering impressive and the banter uber-sarcastic (I’d be disappointed if it wasn’t). Throw in some intense sniper vs. sniper engagements and the enemy bringing the fight to the home front, and you have a recipe for a nail-biting, suspenseful thriller that will have you sweating out the outcome and gasping for air.
Sons of Valor II makes it two hits out of two in this new spinoff of the Tier One series. A great addition to the Andrews & Wilson military thriller collection. And for longtime fans, it offers up some neat surprises that are sure to please. Chunk, Heals and the guys are here to stay and I can’t wait to see what shenanigans they get into next.
