Robbie Cheuvront and Erik Reed, in their new book, “The 13: Stand” Book Two in The 13 series published by Barbour Publishing gives us another exciting adventure with Jon Keene.
From the back cover: America’s future lies in her past…
The battle for America continues. . .but this time it’s from within.
Having given up his soul’s fight against God and surrendered his life to Him, CIA operative Jon Keene soon finds out that the work of the Prophet is not yet done. While the Chinese are satisfied, for now, with the latest border arrangements, a new plot is brewing inside the already weakened U.S., one that could cripple the vulnerable nation and bring the country to the brink of a second civil war.
Keene and his team are once again set against the clock, as they race to discover who and what his new threat is.
And on the eve of America’s most pivotal moment, the entire world watches as an epic showdown of Biblical proportions on the floor of the House of Representatives will once and for all decide the fate of The 13.
“The 13: Stand” is a thriller make no mistake about it. Not only are the main characters lives at risk but the whole country is in great danger as well. On top of that The 13 face elimination. The authors have given us an even more exciting story than the previous one and that is really going some as ”The 13: Fall” was really exciting. Don’t start this book late at night because you will want to finish it before you go to sleep and you won’t get any rest until you flip that last page. I enjoyed this book and would really like to see another in this series. I would like to know what will happen between Jon and Megan. All in all “The 13: Stand” is a winner that I think you will really enjoy.

A thriller should be thrilling. It should keep me turning pages like there’s no tomorrow. It should keep me awake at night, wondering what’s going to happen to the characters (or it should keep me up at night to finish it so I can rest).
A thriller should get my heart rate up.
This didn’t.
I read the first 40%, got bored, so went and read something else (seriously. I’m bored reading a thriller. Doesn’t that tell you something?). By the time I got back to it (two weeks later), I’d forgotten most of what had happened in the first portion but quickly picked it up again. The problem was I still wasn’t engaged with any of the characters. I gave up not long after the halfway point, where two main characters had a gunfight and I realised I just didn’t care who won and who died.
In fairness, 13: Stand is the second book in a series, and I often find the middle book in a trilogy to be slow, so maybe it’s that. Or maybe there are too many characters (I had trouble keeping the characters, locations and politics straight).
Or maybe it’s the fact that even though I have read the first book in the series (13: Fall), it was a year ago and I have forgotten most of the details. 13: Stand moved straight into the plot, with no recap of what happened in 13: Fall, and that felt as though I’d been dumped in the middle of the story.
I suspect 13:Stand is written for people who only read a handful of books each year, so have no trouble remembering the plot and characters from a book they read a year ago (several other reviewers have only reviewed this one book. I suspect that’s the camp they fall in to). Unfortunately, that’s not me.

It’s been a week since I finished this book, and I’m still speechless. That has only happened one other time due to an authors’ shock and awe tactics (cue Red Wedding in GoT). These books are incredible. I have read a few of the J. Bourne books, and one J. Reacher novel, and these are definitely on par with the spy thriller objectives that connect them. One of my favorite movies is Red Dawn, and this played right along with the idea that the US is overconfident, and could easily be placed in the situations detailed in this series.
The authors’ attention to detail in how America has fallen was impressive. I’m sure someone active in the military or politics could find a discrepancy or two, but to the average reader the plot is entirely believable and seemingly inevitable. I love the fact that it is biblically centered, and that the authors used biblical instances of God’s wrath to preface what He is allowing to happen to America. The depth of the characters was notable, and their individual evolutions from the first book to the second book will connect every reader to at least one of them. There are very, very few books I consider giving a 5, and these two, in their entireties, are beyond-a-doubt worthy. Trying to contemplate the imagination of whoever wrote the ending of this particular book is mind-boggling. That ending alone would have earned it. And it’s not over! I will be waiting on pins and needles for the next installment.

Surprising conclusion in the sequel to The 13: Fall of which this series is eerily similar to things happening today in the U.S. or seemingly could easily happen today with the powers in our government and the general population turning away from God.

great book, even better than the first, though it came out so long after #1 it took me a while to remember what had happened

Hard to believe that there is a sequel as good as the first. Edge of your seat, can't put down, stinks when you discover you are at the end book! I'm still am amazed.

I enjoyed this book. I have to confess this is the first time I read a dystopian genre book and I liked it. I was a little confused at first because I read book 2 first.
