Having read the first two books in the Garret Kohl series, I jumped at a chance to read the third, and I was not disappointed!
I received a copy of this book via HarperCollins and NetGalley. All opinions expressed here are my own.
MY REVIEW:
Garrett Kohl is completing his final mission and paying his debt to the CIA when this book opens. He’s promised his adopted Afghan son, Asadi, that he won’t be leaving again. He’s home for good, focused on rebuilding his Texas Panhandle ranch after a devastating wildfire and deepening his relationship with Lacey.
But, as in each Garrett Kohl novel, the bad guys have other ideas. This time they bring the fight to him.
The Pantex Nuclear facility is the target.
I’m always amazed at how deep the corruption goes in the different agencies and branches of government. This author doesn’t shy away from revealing it in a realistic, believable, and knowledgeable way.
So, once again, Kohl and everyone he loves are placed in heart-stopping danger. And while he wants more than anything to protect his family, there is something deeply embedded inside him that won’t let him walk away from making every attempt to stop a bold terrorist act that could destroy America. And he recruits a ragtag crew of outcasts and outlaws to help him.
I love everything about this character. His dedication to and love for his family is the true mark of a hero. He’s tough, fearless, and invincible, yet on the other hand, he’s stumbling his way through his new role as a father.
This is the third book in this series, and even though the author wrapped up the ending nicely, he left enough loose threads to continue the story. Every book by Moore is well-written, gripping, and realistic. Any of these scenarios could happen. I love the setting, the wide and expansive Texas Panhandle. It’s a place where a man can get lost or found, depending on the situation. It was great to revisit all the characters from books one and two and to see how Asadi is adjusting to the ranching way of life. If you love a good thriller with underlying family dynamics, you will enjoy this series by Taylor Moore. Even though each book stands alone, I do recommend starting with the first book, Down Range, to get the characters and their roles established.

Thanks for introducing us to the author with your wonderful review Jan. 🙂 x
It’s truly my pleasure, Debby!
This sounds like an entertaining series. I love a guy with strong morals 🙂
It is a really good series with lots of action and dangerous situations. But the thing that sets it apart is the family dynamic aspect. Thank you for visiting!
I LOVE, LOVE Taylor Moore’s books and I can’t wait to get this one! You lucked out getting it from NetGalley. But thankfully I’ll see Taylor next week and get an ARC. I’m a huge fan of Garret Kohl and I’m glad we have a man like him exposing corruption in out of the way places where few people can see. Love your review, Sister.
I’m so glad you enjoyed my review, sister. Please tell Taylor how much I enjoy Garrett Kohl when you see him next week. 🙂 Thank you for stopping by and sharing! Love you!
Sounds like a good series, Jan!
Thank you, Denise. It most definitely is!
This author is new to me. Thanks for sharing the book with your review Jan, it gives a clear peep into the book.
I love discovering new authors, Balroop, and while this is the third book I’ve read from Taylor Moore, he’s still relatively new in the world of publishing. Thank you for stopping by!
“I love everything about this character. His dedication to and love for his family is the true mark of a hero. He’s tough, fearless, and invincible, yet on the other hand, he’s stumbling his way through his new role as a father.” That’s my kind of hero. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Jan.
He is a great hero, Staci, although there were a couple of times I wanted to shake him and make him go ahead and pop the question to Lacey. 🙂 His flaws are what make him realistic. Thank you for stopping by to support this author!
This looks great, Jan, and I loved the first one. I tried to get this one on NetGalley–didn’t work. I will grab it when it hits the libraries.
Oh, sorry it didn’t work for you to get this on NetGalley. But yes, it will be in the libraries when it releases. I am sure you will enjoy it! Thanks for leaving a comment.
It’s OK. I read so many books, I do whatever possible to keep the cost down, but good books are worth any price!
Thank you for sharing, Jan. I always find another new book and author here. 🙂 Wishing Taylor Moore continued success.
That’s wonderful to hear, Mary. I enjoy sharing great books! I appreciate you stopping by!
