First Strike | R.J. Patterson
1 post | 1 read
Another riveting thriller from award-winning and bestselling author R.J. Patterson in a new series about a black ops assassin wreaking havoc on terrorists everywhere. With ruthless terrorist cells multiplying by the day, the head of the snake must be cut off—and Brady Hawk swings a sharp ax. Realizing the ineffectiveness of America’s own counter terrorism unit, Texas senator J.D. Blunt proposes a black ops program that’s so off the books that only a handful of people know about it. Given the reins and funding to construct his own organization, Blunt creates Firestorm and recruits one of the most effective operatives the American government has ever known: Brady Hawk. Working with D.C.-based handler Alex Duncan, Hawk learns the location of the chief bomb maker for the terrorist group Al Hasib and enters into a race against the clock to eliminate him as well as the man behind the cell before they destroy a key U.S. target. But that’s not all Hawk learns. As the son of the world’s most renowned weapons manufacturer, Hawk must also come to terms that maybe his father isn’t who he thinks he is—and neither is Blunt. This pulse-pounding thriller will leave you on the edge of your seat until the very last shot is fired.

Brady Hawk is an assassin working for a top-secret government project. In this first book, he is tasked with eliminating a terrorist bomb maker. At the same time, there are subplots involving his handler and the senator who oversees the project. Like so many of these books, the hero is virtually invincible but the plotting and pacing are top-notch. If you like contemporary thrillers, you should enjoy this outing. My big complaint is its brevity.
