Operation Gray Owl: A Last Patriots Thriller

The Last Patriots #4

by J.E. Ribbey

When people say things did not go according to plan, they usually don’t mean they’ve ended up with a bomb strapped to their chest with only minutes left to save the world.For Seth Redding nothing ever comes easy. Middle child, flanked by heroes, if there’s crap out there, he’ll be the one to step in it. The mission was straight forward, simple, as missions go, but as only he could, it’d gotten… complicated.Unlike his brothers and sister who fought from their heads, Seth fought from the heart. That alone is enough to make war complicated. He was big, strong, well trained, but all the suffering they’d seen and caused weighed on him. He hesitated now, before pulling the trigger, even when his mind knew it was what needed to be done. A bullet fired cannot be taken back.Those hesitations were what had gotten him here; the price of a moment of hopeful searching for an alternative to the bullet, a moment of mercy in the midst of cruelty, a moment some would deem weakness.Maybe they were right…Experience the fourth and last book of The Last Patriots series!

[Sherry · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the final book in this series, the saga of one heroic family that beat all odds and defeated the Chinese east of the Mississippi and the Russians west of the Mississippi. Seth is Gray Owl. The book is rife with misspellings, typos, and wrong words, but the story is excellent. The family is finally reunited after being scattered across the country for most of a decade. Seth parachutes into Texas and fights his way to Seattle, where "The Ghost" resides. Ghost is the head of the Russian occupation & Seth is tasked with capturing him, only to discover the Russians are vacating as fast as possible. In order to save America from a Chinese nuke, Ghost launches a counterattack. Very suspenseful, and at long last the Redding family can utilize all the survival skills they practiced before the fall of America.

Really fun and engaging story. The characters and fun banter really make it.
