Ethan Justice #3
Incendiary
In the morning, he’s on holiday. By the evening, he’s dodging bullets. It’s time to dispense some Justice!
Returning from a well-deserved break, Ethan Justice and Savannah Jones find their flight home mysteriously diverted to Malaga, Spain. Meeting up with Ethan’s sister and her boyfriend, Carl, they make the best of the situation, but after surviving a deadly restaurant explosion and a sniper’s bullets, it’s clear the holiday is over.
The shock discovery that Carl’s stepfather is Nick Nelson, an ambitious crime boss, throws the detective pairing into a world of deceit and danger where nothing is quite what it seems and trust can be fatal.
With Agent Johnson’s help, and hindrance, they must overcome their greatest challenge yet. Can Savannah face her worst fear and survive? Can Ethan discover the truth before Madrid’s skyline is a blaze of flames and hundreds are dead?
When you take on Justice and Jones, the result is INCENDIARY.
Ethan Justice: Incendiary is a fast-paced, action-packed, character-driven thriller, guaranteed to make you laugh out loud, cringe, cry and cheer.
This is the third book in the 'Ethan Justice' series but it also reads as a stand-alone story.
This book contains a few violent scenes, a dash of sex and the odd bit of bad language, so please don't buy it if you are easily offended.

Another fantastically fast-paced thriller from Simon Jenner. Justice and Jones are in Spain for the action this time, facing some truly evil characters. But as always they prove that they can handle anything, with a little assistance from Johnson and the special tech he has access to. I couldn't put in down. Book 4? Yes please.

This is the third book in the series. I got the first one free. I was contacted by the Author after I reviewed the book which was very unexpected and very much appreciated. I have read a couple hundred books in the last few years and I have only received a message from one other Author and he was an indie author too.
In each book you can see that the author is growing along with his characters. He uses a male/female pairing as the heroines (think Mr. & Mrs Smith with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolene). The action scenes keep getting better and the story line is more thought out and interesting.
I really like the progression and growth of the characters and openly vote for less morality and more butt kicking.
There are two things that bother me. The first is that it seems that every confrontation Ethan and Sav have is dragged out with multiple twists and turns which relates to the second issue I have in that they seem to make the same mistake's over and over again. Now the first time I can see but I would think when you have faced death you would never make the same mistake twice. especially with Sav getting into the sexual situations. I find it hard to believe that she wouldn't have five of those stun guns hidden and taped all over her body.
In fairness all three books take place with a month and a half if I am not mistaken so it is somewhat unrealistic to see hugh leaps of skills in the characters. I have been told by the author that there will be a time lapse in the next book so I hope that means training and shooting skills.
I highly recommend the series and also jumping over to his web site and sign up for the newsletter and possibly get a discount on the new books when they are released like I did today.

This is the third book in the Justice/Jones series. The first two being Origins and Relentless. I think the series should be read in order to understand, fully, the relationship and origins of Justice and Jones.
The characters have developed very well from Origins to Incendiary. I had a few niggles about Origins which I discussed with the author. However, the basis of Origins most definitely sets the scene for the following books, which do not disappoint. So, I fully appreciate Origins for having done it's job.
Fast moving, and flipping between the characters of Ethan Justice, Savannah Jones, Herb Johnson - of Earthguard - and Nelson, the villain, the reader gets a very clear indication of what is going on in their respective heads. It outlines, very well, the individuality of the characters as well as the teamwork that takes place. There are a couple of characters who - while quite nasty people - are almost stooge-like, and, at times, humorous.
Ethan's sister and her boyfriend appear as main characters in Incendiary which further informs the reader about the siblings relationship which is. at times, fragile and feisty.
Incendiary finishes by asking Ethan and Savannah a tantalising question. From the reader's perspective that question needs an answer via a fourth book. We need to know more about an illusive figure and his relationship with Herb Johnson, the organisation of Earthguard, why Ethan and Savannah are asked to take on the next assignment. Hopefully, the answers can leave a cliff-hanger for another - fifth - book.
Over to you Mr Jenner. Great potential for further book/s.
Thank you for a great read. All the best.

So easy to read. I was hooked page 1. It was a different experience than the last book right from the start. I liked it. My thought at the finish was "OMG". So, late...will update tomorrow. I love this series :)
Jan 8, 15!!
Well, not exactly tomorrow...but better late than never!
The way we got to be in the mind of Nick was so interesting. I started out wanting to like him… but that didn't last long. I don't want to spoil it for others so I will just say that this one was as good as the others and I look forward to each one that follows. I'm a big fan of Justice and Jones! Course, what would they be without Herb and Earthguard? Still fun I imagine, but I like the connection so I hope the author maintains it.
I'm a fan of this series and will read them all. Thanks Simon!

This book was kindly sent to me by the author Simon Jenner.
I have very quickly fallen in love with this series and this book is no exception. Another fast paced action thriller with Ethan and Savannah, the only difference with this one, at one point, I even felt kind of sorry for the baddy... that soon passed though!
On they're way home from a well deserved break from their last adventure, Herb pulls them away to assist Earthguard once more. This time in Spain.
If you've read the previous two books, you definitely won't be disappointed here. I have only one issue with this addition though... Oh. My. God. That Ending!
You are an evil man Mr Jenner!

The storyline for this novel begins a little over one week following the conclusion of the second novel in the Ethan Justice series, Relentless. This story also begins only a little over a month since we first met Ethan Justice in the first book, Origins.
Obviously and thankfully, Simon Jenner does not intend to let any grass grow under the proverbial feet of his main characters, Ethan Justice and Savannah Jones. In the first book they met and became a team, personally and professionally. In the second book, Ethan’s character was explored in greater detail and their teamwork with Herb Johnson and Earthguard was advanced. In this third novel, circumstances require that Ethan and Savannah work certain scenarios separately, rather than as a team, with Herb Johnson guiding them more by telephone than in person.
Our story opens with a prologue, set in Madrid, where Nick Nelson, a British mobster currently working out of Spain, meets with Faruq Saeed, an Islamic fundamentalist and highly successful international terrorist. By the time the prologue is finished, we know that there will be a bombing the next day in Malaga and that Faruq Saeed is a veritable angel compared to Nelson.
And, by the end of the book, we will have been exposed to the inner thoughts of Nelson at great depth. There will be no doubt in the reader’s mind that Simon Jenner knows how to write a 3-dimensional psychopath, a character that is insane, cruel and homicidal in one breath but compelling and sympathetic in the next. And Jenner maintains a consistent characterization of Nelson throughout the book – no surprises, no miracles, no suspension of disbelief required.
This depth of characterization is not limited to Nelson, however. We spend a great deal of time in Savannah’s head this time around. Since the first novel, we have known that she has had several serious setbacks in her short life, including the death of her mother. Throughout this novel, Jenner puts Savannah into situations that involve fists, knives, guns and rape. These situations are graphically described, tense, visually realistic and not for the feint of heart. And, situation by situation, Savannah is forced to deal with her victim complex and her flight responses in order to have the slightest chance of survival. Again, Jenner maintains a consistent characterization – no previously unknown abilities surface, no deus ex machina materializes.
From the first page, the plotline is executed logically and realistically. Right after being introduced to Nelson, we find our protagonists’ flight home from a Caribbean vacation diverted to that same town of Malaga where the bomb is supposed to explode. This is not “coincidence;” they are diverted because of an Earthguard training exercise, not because anyone in law enforcement knows about the INCENDIARY plans. Then we learn that Ethan’s sister, Rachel, is also in Malaga and is the girlfriend of Nelson’s stepson, Carl. Now, this feels “coincidental,” both the relationship and the venue. However, Jenner defends it quite logically: their relationship is long term; Carl owns a business there; he despises his stepfather and he is not part of Nelson’s organization.
From this point, the novel explodes, moving systematically back and forth between Ethan, Savannah and Nelson – what each is doing, thinking and planning in the same exact time frame. The plans made by both Nelson and Justice/Jones/Johnson come together, fall apart, shift to a new reality and move forward again with believability. The fight scenes and physical confrontations are easily visualized and capable of being followed logically with the mental eye. The tension mounts page by page until you just want to skim the scenes and get to the heart of the matter. But you don’t, because you know Jenner buries plot devices and clues to further developments in what seems like the most innocuous of paragraphs.
Over the four days that the novel encompasses, Jenner takes us from the first INCENDIARY device in the prologue to the final INCENDIARY device that, on the last page of the book, blows the series storyline up in our faces. No, he does not split up our protagonists nor does he end the book on a cliffhanger, but he does provide us with one hellacious set-up for the next novel. I do so look forward to that one.
I received a free electronic ARC copy of this novel from the author. While there were typos in that e-copy, they were mostly instances of missing punctuation and did not distract from the story. And since it was an ARC, those typos may well have been corrected in the final version. The fact that my copy was free did not in any way affect my opinion of the book.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
First off, if I had not already read the first two books in this series, this cover would have really caught my eye. It is very appealing and does a great job of giving the reader a preview of the action inside the cover. Out of all three, this one is my favorite followed by Origins with Relentless coming in third.
Secondly, I wish I would have rated Ethan Justice: Origins (the first book in the series) a star to a star and a half lower. Not because the book wasn't that good but because the suspense and the depth of the characters seem to have grown since the first book. The lead characters seem more familiar and the villains seem more realistic.
As to specific things I liked about this book...1)Ethan and Savannah have a great chemistry wihtout trying while at the same time, their interest in one another is not being shoved in our faces. 2)Herb Johnson is a main character that is extremely capabale and confident but gladly remains in the shadows of Ethan and Savannah. 3)Things worked out with Carl and Rachel the way you want them to work out but not so obvious that you see it will work out to early on in the book. 4)Nelson's end (and I will leave it there so as not to spoil it. 5)We get to see a baddie have an emotional attachment to Rachel (Ethan's sister), don't know why but I really liked that. 6)I really enjoyed the on the spot training Johnson put on Ethan and Savannah. The airport scene was great. 7)The ending. Mr. Jenner wraps things up very neatly concerning the present case yet he leaves us with enough information to make us look forward to book four.
All of that plus the general things you find in all three...sarcasm, wit, cool weapons and tense action make this a great book to read. I don't think anyone would have a problem starting the series with book three but you would be doing yourself a great inJUSTICE (pun intended) to not start with book one and read them in order.

What was supposed to be a pleasant visit with Ethan’s sister quickly turns into another action packed adventure for our courageous detective duo. Ethan’s sister, Rachel, just so happens to be head over heels for the stepson of one nasty, ruthless, crime boss who has plans on taking over more territory and killing anyone who gets in his way. Unfortunately for Ethan, Savannah, Rachel, and her main squeeze Carl, they find themselves not only in the way but smack dab in the middle of this criminal takeover. Keeping Rachel safe quickly becomes Ethan’s top priority but with the danger growing and potential enemies increasing the duo must split up and rely on the little training they have to keep everyone safe and get out alive.
It’s another great adventure for Ethan and Savannah in this third installment of the Ethan Justice series. We get to follow Savannah for quite a bit of the story and we get to watch her as she kicks major butt! She is definitely just as big a hero is this book as Ethan and it is really great being with her every step of the way. The infamous Agent Johnson makes a bit more of an appearance in this installment as well. He works with Ethan and Savannah more closely this time and he also takes the time to put them through some very “realistic” training. Ethan is just as humorous and quick thinking as ever and reminds us that he and Savannah really are new to this secret agent stuff. They rely heavily on their instincts and improvise when they have to and it’s not hard to imagine yourself in their shoes. This alone makes them extremely likable and it’s easy to fly through the pages to see what is going to happen next. This series is a must read for anyone looking for fun action packed adventures with some really fantastic characters leading the way.

Ethan Justice: Incendiary is the third novel in this captivating and exciting series of crime thrillers by the author Simon Jenner.
Ethan Justice and Savannah Jones were heading home from a Caribbean holiday when the flight they were on was unexpectedly diverted to Malaga, Spain.
Now stranded in Spain, the couple decide to visit Ethan’s sister, Rachel, who was also in Spain for a fashion show and staying with boyfriend Carl at his opulent villa just a couple of hours away.
The promise of “a meal to die for” by Carl that first evening turns out to be nearly that when they are caught up in a devastating and deadly explosion at the restaurant.
Once again we are grabbed and pulled into this pulse raising, action filled, new adventure, fraught with danger, suspense, thrills and spills galore and a wealth of characters, both good and evil.
Simon Jenner uses great descriptive prose that pulls you right into the middle of the action and together with a well constructed plot Ethan Justice: Incendiary is another brilliant accomplishment.
A great series so far and I look forward to reading many more.

A fast paced thriller - highly recommended.
Despite their previous experiences, Ethan and Savannah still seem, at times, to be an endearingly naïve pair.
On an alcohol-fuelled flight from a much deserved holiday they are asked to help with a matter of national security in Spain. From the moment of their arrival in Spain, they are on a dangerous and thrilling rollercoaster.
Ethan’s sister, Rachel, is also in Spain. She and Ethan don’t get on, but Savannah insists that they visit. Rachel’s new boyfriend has been kept a secret from Rachel and Ethan’s parents. The reason why becomes clear.
Ethan is convinced that Rachel may be in danger, but she is aghast at his insistence that she needs protection.
Ethan and Savannah get involved with very nasty characters and their lives are in danger.
An interesting ending!
This fast-paced thriller is well worth the read. Highly recommended.

I received an advance copy of Ethan Justice: Incendiary from the author. It did not influence my review.
Simon Jenner has done it again. I began this series with book one, and now eagerly wait for each new installment. I have only a few authors and series that I consistently read, this is now one of them.
Ethan and Savannah are on a well-deserved break, when the plane is suddenly diverted to Malaga, Spain. Of course, Earthguard is behind it, and the two are thrust into a battle with a crime boss. Only this time, Ethan's sister is caught in the middle.
The characters are growing with each book, and Ethan is definitely coming into his own as an Earthguard "agent". And of course, no one writes a bad guy quite as "good" as Simon Jenner.
I highly recommend this book, and the series. I can't wait for the next installment.

I would imagine if you are reading this you have read the two previous Ethan Justice stories. This one would still be a good read if you haven’t but I think pre-knowledge of the characters adds so much to this book. It’s full of action of course, and there’s another evil baddie with big ambitions and no conscience. The two main protagonists are involved in helping to keep Ethan’s sister safe so this time, it’s personal.
The writing is clear, accessible and exciting. I love the fact that the characters aren’t the usual cardboard cut-outs but have quirky foibles and interesting backstories. It’s all too easy for this kind of ‘special agent and international skulduggery’ story to become repetitive and boring but this never happens in a Simon Jenner book. Another excellent read!

It’s all too easy for this kind of ‘special agent and international skulduggery’ story to become repetitive and boring but this never happens in a Simon Jenner book. Another excellent read!

Thank you Simon Jenner for another great book in your Ethan Justice/Savannah Jones series. I think this series keeps on getting better and better…if that’s possible!
This is another action packed, crime thriller novel. The characters of Ethan and Savannah keep getting more and more richly developed with each new book in the series.
I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a great crime thriller. If you have already read the first two novels in the series you will definitely want to read this third edition. If you have never enjoyed one of the books in this series…you can still read this one and not be totally lost. These novels are each independently strong; but you’ll want to enjoy them all once you’ve read one of these amazing books!

The hits just keep coming. This book is every bit as good as the first two. If you like high paced action, you owe it to yourself to check this series out. In this adventure Ethan and Sav are on a much needed vacation, but get detoured on their way home to Madrid, where Ethan's sister, Rachel, is. Rachel's boyfriend's step-father is a vile, evil man. Ethan and Sav get embroiled in an unexpected adventure, when Rachel and her boyfriend are the target of an attack. This is a great story and easy to get caught up in. It travels at a fast pace and my only disappointment is I've finished it already and have to wait for book four to come out. Keep them coming!!

This book was given as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Another fantastic book in the series.
The prologue started off great and it really helps to trust you into the book and make you want to read more. The story and action starts quickly from there. Once again they are forced into a series of situations were they have to save their own lives as well as the lives of others.
The antagonist is once again creepy and in need of some serious help. The protagonists slowly get used to what they have to do and get better at it as they go through the book. The ending is great and really makes me want to read the next book.
A must read!

Simon Jenner does it again with this brilliant sequel to the awesome ETHAN JUSTICE series
On there way back from a much needed holiday Ethan and Savannah's flight is mysteriously diverted to Malaga and on arrival the pair decide to visit Ethan's sister Racahel who is preparing for a fashion show in Madrid, it soon becomes apparent that the plane was diverted for a reason and guess who's behind it? Yes you got it Earthguard.
This is a roller coaster ride that snakes one way then the next, the action is relentless in its assault on the reader.
Simon Jenner is a fantastic author who's books should be read by any fan of the thriller genre.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Wow, what a fantastic read! The latest installment of the Ethan Justice series grabbed me from the very first page and it never relinquished it's hold on me at any point. Instead I was hurtling along at breakneck speed with the main characters from the start to finish. Those main characters were only expanded on from previous books and they grew even more.
Also, once again, the author wrote a deliciously sick villain that you just pray gets his comeuppance all the way through!
Simon Jenner has done it again and I cannot wait for the fourth book whenever that may be. In me you have definitely found a loyal fan.

Simon has written another fantastic novel continuing the adventures of Ethan and Savanna. I really liked this one as you see the growth in their relationship and courage as they find yet another situation with some bad guys.
The characters are believable and genuine and combined with the twists from our friend Agent Johnson, Simon has another hit. Simon mixes the dark nature of what I think of when I envision a terrorist or mafia type guy, well done.
Take the time to read all three in order, you will enjoy the series.

Another hard hitting, gritty adventure in the Ethan Justice Series. Ethan and Savannah are just danger magnets, they can't even have a holiday without finding trouble. Torn between protecting his sister and stopping a bomb detonation, Ethan has some tough decisions to make. A fast paced read that grabs you from the first chapter. I will be watching out for book number 4 in the series to see what scrapes they can find themselves in next - although i do hope more than 5 weeks passes between the next escapade, surely even a trouble magnet gets some normal cases lol

Another wonderful book in the Ethan Justice saga. Just like the other books in the series, it sucks you in right away and doesn't let go. It is an excellent mixture of mystery and thriller with several unexpected twists thrown in for good measure. Overall, I can't recommend the Ethan Justice series enough. In the interest of full disclosure, the author gave me an advance copy of the book to review.

I was given this book for an honest review.
Simon Jenner has done it again. I love Ethan Justice and Savannah Jones. This book is set in Spain and contains all the action, suspense, and adventure that you can handle. Savannah has more close calls in this book. She is proving herself to be just as valuable as Ethan. They make quiet a team. I could not put this book down. Simon Jenner...I hope you are working hard on the next book in this series.

Lots of action for Ethan and "Sav". Great build up of the plot and descriptions of all the characters. I like the fact that the main characters don't always make the right moves and the resourcefulness required to come out on top. The story ended in such a way that left me already trying to figure out what the plot will be for the next in the series. I have truly enjoyed the series so far!

Simon has done it again. Swept me in from the first page on with his newest mystery/suspense in the Justice/Jones series. The book can be read without the first 2, but I suggest you read the first 2 books in the series. He brings life, mystery & some laughs to his story & characters. I recommend this book to anyone who love entertainment.

Ethan gets more mature and a little bit tougher in each book, Savannah is still tough and smart, Johnson is still a mystery. This series just gets better. This book is good as a stand alone but the previous two books help set up the characters. I can't wait for more adventures from Ethan, Savannah, and even Johnson.

Ethan and Savannah up to their old tricks! I love the way the characters are developing. This book was a little more perverse than the previous ones. Very dark and the characters are maturing. Very well written, exciting and engrossing. I love learning a little more about Herb Johnson and would like to get to know him better. I would recommend!

Disclaimer: I received this book from a first-read giveaway.
The third book in the ever-growing series does not disappoint! The action and dialogue are fast-paced and keeps the reader engaged. While you could read this as a stand-alone novel, you will appreciate the character development a great deal more having read the prior two novels.

You have done it again Mr. Jenner. Another fun, fast-paced read that doesn't seemed to cramped or forced - which is saying something since this is their third adventure in about a month's time. I hope to see more of Ethan Justice. Make it happen.

Very nice addition to the series. As per usual, I really liked the characters and the plot development! Keep up the outstanding work!

Amazing series. The first book had me by page 30. The second kept me on the edge of my seat, and the third makes me beg for number four. A must-read, you will NOT be disappointed.
