Rockets Red Glare by James Patterson and Matt Eversmann

About the Book:

Nat Phillips leads an elite roster of special operators. They are ex-Special Forces, communications specialists, and intelligence officers. Phillips is a brilliant strategist and battle-tested leader who inspires total loyalty in his team. Now these decorated veterans of international warfare are at home and on stand-by—until a presidential campaign is interrupted by murder. 

Suddenly, the plan is no longer the stuff of Mission: Impossible. Emergency operations happening not overseas but in the centers of American power, from Nantucket to Washington, DC. This national crisis is real.

My Review:

This is one action packed novel. The pace is steady and continually moves along. The authors have provided readers with a great hero although he was not fully developed. There are many other characters included and hard to keep straight. The plot is over the top and unbelievable at times. And I really did not like the foul language. The story is not finished and the end certainly anticipates a sequel.

My rating: 3/5 stars.
