| After hearing such high praises
about Alpha I knew I had to try Bravo. In
listening to the first two chapters, I felt like I walked
into the middle of a conversation, and realized I should have
started with Alpha. I know Jonathan “Jad” Bell
is Ex- Delta Force and he had a deadly experience with a lead
terrorist in Alpha. In Bravo Jad is using that same terrorist
to gain information about another attack on American soil.
Bravo opens with a top-secret, intimate meeting
between a woman and a man, bartering as they make love. He
tells her what he wants and she complies with conditions on
behalf of the party she represents. The storyline then moves
to Bell and his team (Chaindragger, Cardboard, & Steelriver)
breaking into Vosil Tohir’s home, 72 hours after Bell
and his team stopped a terrorist act created by Tohir (the
Uzbek). What they learn is Uzbek works for a terrorist called
the Architect (Echo). The Architect is active and ready to
attack – again.
The opening is intense, but just wait—it gets even
better. Bravo whips readers back and forth between
different points of view, and we witness Bell’s professional
and private life. His relationship with his ex-wife and deaf
daughter humanize him, but professionally he’s lethal
and someone to be feared. Bell’s character has great
energy. I noticed when Rucker introduced some of his other
characters, he did so with little information, which had me
wanting more. Just when I thought I knew something…
I didn’t… I found Bravo intense and well
written. There is plenty of action and the content is as extreme
as an undercover, government-involved terrorist-type book
can be. The audio version will have you on the edge of your
seat. Pass it on to your friends.
John Glouchevitch gives listeners a notable narration of
Bravo. Glouchevitch also narrates Jeff Abbott’s
Whit Mosley series.
