Mike4: Mike4 Series, Book 1

MIKE4 #1

by J.R. Seeger

Mike4 is the call sign for Chief Warrant Officer Sue O’Connell - a Special Operations Force (SOF) surveillance specialist. She is the daughter of a pair of CIA agents and the granddaughter of a famous World War II OSS agent. She is part of a team that “finds and fixes in place” terrorists so that SOF assault teams can “finish” the target.

An injury forces O’Connell to join a team of SOF operators training to become counterterrorism intelligence collectors. While at the CIA farm, Sue learns that her family has a more complex history in the CIA than she thought. A history that includes both counterintelligence secrets and a 60-year-old Russian vendetta.

Sometimes, learning family secrets can be painful. Sometimes, they can be deadly.

Having read the Kindle edition, I now wish I had bought it in paper. The front of the book contains a very extensive glossary of military and intel terms and slang that you will want to know as you read, and on Kindle it is hard to go back and forth.

Mike4 is about an Army Warrant Officer, a woman functioning in a man's world, earning her stripes in recon and ending up recruited to a more pure intel role after CIA training. It is complicated by her three generation background in intelligence and a quasi-governmental Russian gangster intent on revenge for something her grandfather did. Who tries to kill off her family one by one, starting with her father.

This is volume 1 of a series, and I can't wait to read Book 2.

Exciting new series about a female counterintelligence operator!!!

Great start to this series!!! Very exciting tale of current counterintelligence told from a female perspective. Looking forward to the next book & the continuing adventures of Sue O'Connell!!!

Dnf at 50%. I tried so hard because I love all things espionage related. Flat characters and bad dialogue are hard to overcome. I found myself saying “no woman would say that” so many times that I had to give up.

[Tom Place]

Solid book by a badass operator. Looking forward to Book 2.

This was an interesting read and not something I would normally pick up and dig right into. But I decided to give it a try as this is a local Buffalo author and some major scenes take place on the Historic Roycroft Campus. Full of Ops and action; mystery and murder; espionage and the military; this book had it all. Pretty well written for being a first for the author.
