Direct
Fire: A Jake Mahegan Thriller – A J Tata – (Kensington)
Retired Army Brigadier General and combat vet, A J Tata’s
new entry in the Jake Mahegan series, Direct
Fire reads with a been there done that authenticity and the terrorist decapitation
strike at all levels of business, government and the military comes off like
some worst nightmare scenario dreamed up by a Red Team.
The pacing will give you blisters and you won’t need to
hang around long for the action to kick into overdrive. Mahegan receives a
distress call from his commander and dashes headlong into an ambush and from
there things really start to ratchet up and get busy.
The terrorists are on our shores and working out of the
heartland of the Blue Ridge Mountains. If you weren’t flying by the seat of
them, this scenario might just scare the pants off of you. The cliché goes
something like; revenge is a dish best served cold and this bunch of terrorists
are holding a grudge and are out to topple the United States from every angle.
Tata uses misdirection and plenty of twists to keep you guessing as the story
cranks along.
The compelling characters have a lived in feel and
tough-talking confidence that they can get the job done. Tata will find a
comfortable place on my shelf next to Flynn, Thor and Clancy.
