Al-Faisel wants to punish the Great Satan (U.S.) so he forces an ex-Special Forces guy to recruit colleagues with financial hardships for coordinated, simultaneous attacks: first, snipers killing scores of people at high school football games in the mid-West to show nobody is safe. One sniper is captured and hidden by the FBI and Director Irene Rivers asks Jonathan Grave (Digger) and his team to use their skills extrajudicially to stop the plot. Time and again, developments suggest that there is a major security breach in the FBI, such as when the prisoner is killed before he can be offered clemency to identify others in his cabal. The second round involves bombings in public places. Very fast paced, and Digger's hometown comes under attack by the vindictive leader of the Retribution team. Venice's new boyfriend tries his best to find his way into Security Solutions before being fired by the NSA for helping our heroes. My disappointment with Book 11 is excess information about the private lives and travails of the perpetrators. 3.5 stars, rounded down. ( )

Another exciting and excellent thriller from John Gilstrap. His novels never disappoint. I can only hope he continues to write such intense and satisfying books. The action never ceases, while still providing authentic characterizations and personalities that draw the reader in. These novels could be HBO’s next great series. I hope they are considering the possibility. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the advanced copy. I loved it! ( )
