Termination Sanction
Book 2 in the highly acclaimed Tom Kintrell thriller series finds Kintrell tasked with stopping Iran from making inroads to the Taliban, as America departs that war-torn land.
After leaving Afghanistan, he thought the mission was over. It had just begun.
Why was he being hunted? What did they think he knew? How did the woman fit in?
The first attempt on his life in Afghanistan revealed a traitor. The second attempt in Maryland revealed a cadre of conspirators. Conspirators who had no qualms about collateral damage.
Kintrell, not knowing who he could trust in his own government, turned to the people whose loyalty was beyond question—Lanny Alvarez of the FBI, Norm Stryker of the Philadelphia police department and Roddy Almeida, former Green Beret and CEO of Global Security LLC.
Their search for the truth would take them from Washington D.C. to Israel, Croatia, Italy and finally, the Mideast.
There could be no missteps. Those arrayed against them commanded the resources of the clandestine services, including the fringe elements tasked with wet work.
Survival demanded action. Action that at times would be brutal, which was fine with Kintrell.

Great read
Dangerous place we live if just a sliver of this is true. Appreciate a realistic ending with a touch of creativity.

One of the best!
I love political thrillers and especially ones that feature a military or special unit . Termination Sanction is hands down the best I have read in a long time. I was not able to predict exactly who was involved in the complex and believable plot to do harm, and the characters were all fascinating. I appreciate that the author didn't fall into typical traps , his female characters are strong and the male characters are too. You don't feel like you have to make a choice between the sexes, how refreshing!! He also does a tremendous job honestly portraying the reality that evil is real and flourishes everywhere. I will be reading every single book by this author.

Review of Terminaton Sanction
In the 2and series book ( Tom Kintrell) Tom was forced to resign from the FBI and hired by a CIA like organization. Tom who is part ( Bruce Wayne) part ( James Bond) and Part Rambo is given a dangerous assignment in the Middle East. Tom has put together a very talented and creative team to accomplish the mission.

good story line
Fast paced and interesting characters. The story kept me guessing about who the bad guys were. I have read both of R.J. O’Rourk’ books and enjoyed both. I look forward to #3.

R. J. Ain't no P .J. !!!!!!!!!!!!
This one didn't exactly suck but it pulled this reader pretty Damon close to start in a campfire with my Kindle.
Convoluted plot, inept d I along, and a pain to follow.
I'm disappointed😈

November 27, 2023Interesting story line
It had way to much sexual and very verbal sexual language and activity for me. The other objection, I had was the good guy can take on four or five well conditioned, well trained bad guys, and always come out, the winner.

Tom Kintrell is in the soup again!
Tom can't stay out of trouble for long. He either starts it or it follows him like a speck of dust attracted to static electricity.

Moves quickly
Keeps a rapid pace without a lot of unnecessary details. A wonderful way to spend a few hours of escape from reality.
