Description
"The Godfather" meets "Zero Dark Thirty" on the streets of Chicago in this relentless thriller. Book #1 in the 10-book Bob Burke action-adventure series.
When he witnesses a brutal rooftop killing, the Chicago mob has no idea what they've just unleashed. All they see is a mild-mannered telecom executive -- a little guy in a business suit often mistaken for "the telephone guy." What they don't know is that Burke spent six tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Delta Force commander, running the most lethal black ops missions the Pentagon never talks about, and is the most lethal killing machine the US Government ever produced.
Do you like a good action-adventure book series? Binge read Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, and Lee Child new releases? Well, if you're a fan of Mitch Rapp, Scot Harvath, Jack Ryan, the Grayman, Jack Reacher, or Mark Dawson's Milton, you'll love the Bob Burke Series. 10 Books withthis former Delta Force commander taking on the New York and Chicago mobs, the Kremlin, Beijing, kidnappers, and international terrorists.
When that woman's desperate eyes found his through the airplane window, the split second of connection sealed everyone's fate. After West Point, Ranger School, and the Delta Force, in the rugged mountains above Kandahar, they called him "The Ghost," because he could appear and disappear in the blink of an eye. Skilled in martial arts, he never misses with a 9-mil or his "long gun," either. They asked for it, and with his very lethal skill set, he's about to clean the mean streets of Chicago.
But he's not coming alone. Burke's got backup: his old Delta Team, well-worn vets like him missed the old action. There's Ace, his top NCO; Chester, who handles explosives like a child's toys; Koz, was almost as good of a shot as he was, and the Geeks, computer geniuses who could hack their way into Fort Knox.
The mob thinks they own the city -- the cops, the judges, the whole system, and have expanded into very lucrative Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance medical fraud. But they've never faced an enemy who treats suburban Chicago like Fallujah, who can turn their own surveillance against them, and who considers "overwhelming firepower" a conservative approach. If the local police and judges won't act, a blast of vigilante justice from the barrel of his favorite Barrett .50 caliber sniper rifle will suffice.
From downtown boardrooms to Lake Shore Drive penthouses, suburban warehouse buildings and big County parks, Burke and his team are about to teach the Gumbahs a lesson in asymmetric warfare. They think they have "soldiers," but Bob Burke has "Operators," a brotherhood forged in real wars. As the tattoo on Ace's forearm says, "Kill 'em all; let God sort them out."
